Dustin Johnson returns to defend his title and attempt to win his fourth WGC-Mexico Championship title this week as the 2020’s first World Golf Championships event is contested outside Mexico City. DJ has won two of the three WGC events hosted at the Club de Golf Chapultepec, including a five-shot victory last year. He won winning the tournament at Doral before it moved south of the border in 2017.
Coming off of a second-place finish in 2019, Rory McIlroy is seeking to join Johnson as the only players to complete the “WGC Slam,” winning all four events in the World Golf Championships rotation. McIlroy also can become the third player (Tiger Woods and DJ) to win back-to-back WGC events, having won the WGC-HSBC Champions last fall.
Along with DJ and McIlroy, Mexico is set to have a strong field including Genesis Invitational winner Adam Scott, Patrick Reed, Justin Thomas, Hideki Matsuyama and Jordan Spieth. Spieth earned a spot in this event after his T-9 finish at Pebble Beach two weeks ago, sneaking him the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking at the tournament cutoff (he subsequently fell back to 53rd after a T-59 at the Genesis).
The winner will receive 550 FedEx Cup points and a $1.745 share of the $10.5 million purse.
