Inside the Field: Mexico Open at Vidanta

Inside the Field: Mexico Open at Vidanta
Written by Staff @PGATOUR

The PGA TOUR uses a standardized system for determining event fields, based off the current season’s Priority Ranking while also including additional exemption and qualifying categories.

Field sizes can vary by event, as can the number of event-specific exemptions. Fully exempt PGA TOUR members are guaranteed entry into all full-field events, with various conditional categories subject to periodic reshuffles based upon FedExCup Points accrued throughout the season. Categories with 'reshuffle' notation indicate that a reshuffle period has occurred.

Note: An additional year of eligibility was granted to some categories because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Scroll below for the Mexico Open at Vidanta field list as of Friday, April 21st at 5 p.m. ET.
