The PGA Tour moved south for its annual stop at the Mexico Open, offering a $7 million purse with $1.26 million to the winner. In a playoff of contrasts featuring the Tour’s biggest hitter in 20-year-old Aldrich Potgieter and shortest hitter in 31-year-old Brian Campbell, the veteran won on the second playoff hole.

How is that for a first professional victory? Brian Campbell overcame a one-stroke deficit Sunday at Vidanta Vallarta to win the 2025 Mexico Open, battling through two playoff holes to finally topple 36- and 54-hole leader Aldrich Potgieter.

Brian Campbell played well enough to win the Mexico Open for his first PGA Tour victory. He also needed the break of a lifetime.
