The 2026 VidantaWorld Mexico Open field is headed by Ben James, Corey Conners, Wyndham Clark and more.

This tournament started with 120 players, and a cut was made this week after two rounds to the top 65 players and ties. Every professional player in the field is paid for completing the event, but how much each player is paid at the 2026 VidantaWorld Mexico Open from the correct 2026 VidantaWorld Mexico Open full-field payout is based on their finish in this event.

The 2026 VidantaWorld Mexico Open prize money payout is set ahead of the event. In events with a cut, the PGA Tour will add money to the purse, with the PGA Tour paying out money from the purse if more than, in this case, 65 professionals make the cut to ensure all players are paid.

What else is on the line

Beyond money, there are important points, perks and benefits on the line for the field -- in particular, the tournament winner.

The winner of this event will get 500 FedEx Cup Fall points, as is the practice for all standard fall events in 2026.

Additionally, there are 31 Official World Golf Ranking points on the line for the winner.

While this event offers a significant payday, the win comes with enhanced PGA Tour status. The winner gets a two-year PGA Tour exemption, as well as invites to the 2027 PGA Championship.
