2025 Mexico Open TV ratings still on the low despite being better than last year - REPORT

The 2025 Mexico Open concluded its final round on Sunday, February 23. Although the viewership numbers allegedly did better than last year, reports state that the TV ratings are still low.

The Mexico Open is an annual PGA Tour event held at VidantaWorld, Vallarta. The tournament is usually played in a stroke play format. The Mexico Open became an official event on the PGA Tour in 2022 and has a total prize purse of $7 million.

This year, the 2025 Mexico Open was aired on NBC. Reports from a Sports Business Journal representative claimed that the event attracted an audience of 2 million viewers on NBC for the final round, where Brian Campbell won.

For the 2024 Mexico Open, viewership numbers were around 1.8 million in the final round, where Jake Knapp claimed the victory. While this year’s event seemed to have attracted more viewers, the numbers are still lower than those recorded in 2022 and 2023.

According to US TVDB, the viewership numbers for 2023 were around 2.3 million, the highest ever recorded since it became an official event on the PGA Tour. Notably, Tony Finau won the event in 2023, and Jon Rahm won in 2022.
