The VidantaWorld Mexico Open is moving to the fall for the first time in its 80-plus-year history, returning October 29–November 1, 2026. The timing aligns Mexico’s national open with Día de Muertos season — and with the debut of BON Luxury Theme Park, the world’s first luxury theme park, opening at VidantaWorld just ahead of tournament week.
This isn’t about spectacle overtaking sport. The competition remains front and center with 132 players, 500 FedExCup points, a $4 million purse. But the surrounding environment is evolving in a way the TOUR hasn’t really seen before.
Along with the calendar shift, the championship course at Vidanta Vallarta will debut an updated configuration in 2026. The revised routing brings holes 18, 9, 1, and 10 into a tighter competitive core, improving flow, broadcast sightlines, and on-site movement while preserving the strategic demands players expect from a TOUR venue.
As Iván Chávez, executive vice president of Grupo Vidanta, puts it: the changes are “a practical evolution that supports the demands of a modern PGA TOUR event.”
What makes this story especially compelling is the setting. Tournament week now unfolds inside VidantaWorld — a 2,500-acre luxury destination that includes championship golf, more than a mile of beachfront, Cirque du Soleil’s new LÚDÕ show, and now a high-end theme park designed around quality, space, and service rather than crowds.
It positions the Mexico Open as a rare hybrid: a serious competition inside one of the TOUR’s most immersive destination environments.
Broadcast coverage will reach more than 200 countries via Golf Channel, NBC, and the PGA TOUR World Feed, with Grupo Vidanta assuming full stewardship of the event beginning in 2026.
