Top Pros Enter Rich Latin American Golf Open in Mexico
Forty six professionals and eight amateurs form the field for the richest Latin American golf tournament. The winner earns forty thousand dollars as players at Mexico City's high altitude adjust to thinner air and a narrow par-72 course lined by tall pines and cedars. An inauguration ceremony will feature Mexico travel secretary and ex-president Miguel Aleman. Notables Casper Trevino and Nicklaus frequent the Mexican Open and describe Mexico City's golf scene as growing yet still elite, with private clubs dominating the market.
