Will Tiger Woods play the Mexico Open 2024 at Vidanta next week? Golfer’s availability explored

The PGA Tour will head to Vallarta, Mexico, for the Mexico Open at Vidanta Vallarta, which will take place from February 22 to 25 at Vidanta Vallarta. The field was announced on Saturday, February 17, and Tiger Woods' name was not among the 131 players announced for the Mexico event.

On Friday, Woods had to drop out of the Genesis Invitational 2024 during the third round due to the flu and dehydration. Although the influenza was not that serious and he started recovering after taking on-site treatment, he is not set to return to action this month.

Last year, during his return to the Hero World Challenge, Woods said that he was looking to compete in one event a month in the 2024 season. If everything goes as planned, his next start should be the Players Championship, which takes place from March 14 to 17.

The Mexico Open field will feature the likes of defending champion Tony Finau, along with Nicolai Hojgaard, Emiliano Grillo, and Ryan Fox. These four will be the only top 50-ranked players in OWGR in action this week. For the uninitiated, since the Mexico Open is not the signature event, the top players are not bound to compete this week.
