The LIV Golf League heads to new heights—literally—when it tees off in Mexico City for the 2025 LIV Golf Mexico event. Scheduled for April 25–27, this high-altitude showdown promises to be a strategic and visual spectacle. The field is stacked with fan favorites: Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, and Mexico’s own Carlos Ortiz and Abraham Ancer are all expected to be in the lineup. For Ortiz and Ancer, it’s more than just another event—it’s a homecoming, with passionate fans ready to ignite the galleries at a venue steeped in golf tradition.

That venue? The iconic Club de Golf Chapultepec, a course as rich in history as it is in challenge. Nestled in the lush Chapultepec Forest and perched at a breathtaking 7,800 feet above sea level, the club stands as one of Latin America’s most prestigious golfing grounds. Designed in 1921 by U.S. Open champion Willie Smith and completed by his brother Alex, another U.S. Open winner, Chapultepec has witnessed nearly every era of golf unfold beneath its canopy of ancient trees.

Over the decades, this parkland-style course has hosted the Mexican Open 18 times and was the battleground for four World Golf Championships between 2017 and 2020. Each of those titles was claimed by now-LIV stars—Dustin Johnson (2017, 2019), Phil Mickelson (2018), and Patrick Reed (2020). Bryson DeChambeau, also in the LIV camp, finished runner-up in the final edition, falling just one stroke short of Reed.

What makes Club de Golf Chapultepec so fascinating, beyond the history, is its technical intrigue. The course will play as a par 71 for LIV Golf, with routing tweaks that change the traditional layout. The ninth hole, typically a par 5 for members, becomes a daunting 529-yard par 4. The finishing hole? A short but treacherous 151-yard par-3—the members’ 17th. The altitude makes club selection a guessing game; players will need to adjust their distances significantly as drives soar through the thin mountain air.

Expect challenges reminiscent of Spain’s Valderrama, as echoed by Graeme McDowell, who once remarked, “It reminds me a little of Valderrama—and obviously, you’ve got the altitude, so the ball goes a long way.” Shot shaping, course management, and mental toughness will be critical, especially on the tight, tree-lined fairways and multi-tiered greens.

With local heroes in the mix and a century-old venue ready to host a new era of competition, LIV Golf Mexico City 2025 promises to deliver a spectacle that blends past prestige with modern power. As the world watches golf’s disruptors tackle one of its most traditional venues, Club de Golf Chapultepec is set to make history—again. And with a star-studded field returning to familiar ground, anticipation is building—not just for the golf, but for what the odds say about who might rise again in Chapultepec’s rarefied air.

LIV Golf Mexico betting odds

For the first time since 2020, Club de Golf Chapultepec will once again echo with the sound of professional golf, as LIV Golf makes its Mexico City debut at the historic venue. The course last hosted the WGC-Mexico Championship during its four-year run on the PGA Tour, where legends and now-LIV regulars left their mark. Three of those former champions—Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, and Patrick Reed—return to the site of their past triumphs, hoping history repeats itself.

Johnson’s dominance here is particularly noteworthy. In the first three years of the WGC event, DJ won twice and finished seventh in his lone non-victorious outing. Though he placed 48th in 2020, his track record remains unmatched. At +5000 odds, he might just be the most intriguing value bet of the week.

Meanwhile, local favorite Abraham Ancer (+3000) brings pinpoint accuracy and national pride into the week. Ancer thrives on positional courses like Chapultepec and is fueled by a personal mission—bringing LIV Golf to his home country. He’s trending in form and backed by a home crowd hungry for a champion.

With Jon Rahm (+600), Bryson DeChambeau (+750), and Phil Mickelson (+6600) all in the field, expect fireworks at altitude.
