This week's focus is on Mexico, Puerto Rico and Thailand...Round 1 tee times

PGA Tour Champions, Web.com, European Tour are all off this week, so my focus is on the WGC Mexico Championship, the PGA Tour at the Puerto Rico Open and the LPGA Tour stop at the Honda LPGA Thailand.

WGC Mexico Championship tee times https://www.pgatour.com/leaderboard.html

There are no Canadians in this week's WGC event which used to be at Doral in Florida, and after the Cadillac company withdrew their sponsorship it was moved to Mexico City three years ago.

"World player of the year", last year, Francesco Molinari makes his 2019 start, we'll see what form this quiet little Italian known as "Frankie" brings with him.

66 or so of the top players from around the world are in the field, headed of course by Tiger Woods, playing the event for the first rime paired with Bryson DeChambeau and Mexican star Abraham Ancer.

Tiger mentioned in his press conference that because they are playing at altitude the field will have to adjust to how far the ball flies, and also since the air is so thin the ball doesn't curve as much as it does at sea level.

All the tee times see my link above.

While all the stars are just across the Gulf of Mexico, there are a full field of guys hoping to take advantage of their absence in Puerto Rico. There are 6 Canadians.

Taylor Pendrith has Monday qualified, Adam Svensson, Corey Connors, Ben Silverman, David Hearn and Roger Sloan.

Guys like Guy Boros, Robert Allenby, Frank Lickliter, Angel Cabrera, Dicky Pride, Tim Herron etal rarely show up in a regular PGA Tour event so this week is a big bonus for them. You'll be hard pressed to find a headliner.. Heck even Boo Weekly has put down his fishing rod to show up.
