Thousands of spectators enjoyed this spectacular tournament on Vidanta’s sidelines.
From April 27 to 30, 2023, Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta proudly hosted the official PGA TOUR Mexico Open at Vidanta with our unique trademark level of luxury and warm Mexican hospitality.
“I have an opportunity to travel 35-40 weeks a year, and to say this is special would be an understatement. So, many congratulations, Vidanta,” said John Norris, PGA TOUR Senior Vice President, Tournament Business Affairs.
After four wonderful days, thousands of attendees witnessed how the talented American, Tony Finau, won the tournament with an amazing performance. Closing a great final round of 66 strokes, with five birdies and no bogeys, this is his sixth PGA win. Finau, 33, stated he will be back next year to defend his title.
“We love Vidanta. When we came here last year, we fell in love with the resort, we fell in love with the people, and then I loved the golf course, so this is a very special win for me,” said Finau, speaking of his family’s relationship with Vidanta. “We felt nothing but love being here, making it extremely special that I could win here.”
Just hours after winning the tournament, self-described “part-time golfer, full-time father,” Finau caddied for his sons on Vidanta’s Par-3 The Lakes Course as a beautiful celebration.
Last year’s winner, Masters champion Jon Rahm, finished second, establishing a course record with a 61 (10 under par). “Obviously, I wanted to win, but it’s a reminder that everybody out here is a great player,” Rahm said. “Tony came out with a two-shot lead and played fantastic golf. I feel like, had I been able to pressure him a little more, we would have seen more birdies from Tony.”
