World Wide Technology Championship Prediction
Best Bet: Seamus Power to win and each-way @ 45/1
Seamus Power came close to ending his four-year wait for a third PGA Tour title at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship two weeks ago, as he lost in a play-off to Austin Smotherman in a tournament shortened to 54 holes due to the weather.
The Irishman swerved last week's Mexico Open but he will be teeing it up in the country for the World Wide Technology Championship and he looks capable of claiming the spoils.
Power, who was third in the 2022 edition at El Camaleon Golf Course in Playa del Carmen, was tied 27th on his El Cardonal debut last year after arriving in poor form.
It is a different story for the 39-year-old heading back to El Cardonal, with his last three appearances seeing him finish tied seventh at the Biltmore Championship, tied 21st at the Bank of Utah Championship and second in Bermuda.
With the three winning scores at this course being -27, -24 and -29, it is clear a strong display on the greens is required and it bodes well that Power is 18th in putting average and seventh in strokes gained putting.
Alternative Bet: Tom Hoge to win and each-way @ 150/1
It is getting close to five years since Tom Hoge won his sole PGA Tour title at Pebble Beach in February 2022, but he arrives in Mexico having recorded the joint-best result of his season at the Bermuda Championship.
The American was tied sixth at Port Royal Golf Course and he was one of several players frustrated at the tournament being reduced to 54 holes, as he was three off the pace heading into the final round before the weather played its part.
Hoge was 45th on his El Cardonal debut in 2024 before ending up in 21st position last year and he looks capable of making further improvement on his third crack at this course.
With the putter set to be the main club in the bag this week, it is pleasing to see Hoge is 15th in putting average. A bold showing could be on the cards in Mexico.
Alternative Bet: Vincent Whaley to win and each-way @ 300/1
Another player at big odds to keep an eye on this week is Vincent Whaley, who struggled in his first two cracks at this course before finishing in a share of 17th place last year.
The American registered his best result of the season in Mexico last week, where he was tied 23rd, and he will be hopeful of maintaining that momentum in the same country.
Whaley is one of the strongest with the flat stick on the PGA Tour, he ranks second in strokes gained putting and 12th in putting average, and that club can help him contend.
