In an exciting display of skill and strategy, California golfer Jake Knapp won the Mexico Open at Vidanta 2024, leaving an indelible mark on the Riviera Nayarit course and PGA Tour history.

With a performance that saw him finish at an impressive nineteen under par (-19) after four rounds of intense competition, Knapp managed to dethrone his compatriot Tony Finau, who held the title from the previous edition.

The showdown culminated in a fierce battle against Finland’s Sami Valimaki, who kept pace with Knapp throughout the course. From the first tee to the final hole, both players displayed a high level of play, refusing to back down despite the 30-degree Celsius temperatures at Bahía de Banderas.

Despite not playing his best on the final day of competition, Knapp showed unwavering determination and a fighting spirit that led him to victory. This victory not only marked his first victory in a PGA Tour event, but it also carried personal significance: before the final day of competition, Knapp revealed that he would dedicate his triumph to his grandfather, who sadly passed away before the start of last season.

Knapp’s victory not only solidifies his position in the world of professional golf, but also adds a memorable chapter to the history of the Mexico Open at Vidanta. His skill, perseverance and dedication are a testament to the sporting spirit that characterizes great champions, and his name will be etched in the annals of this prestigious tournament that celebrates the best of international golf.

“Vallarta Lifestyles, from its inception has been a quality reference. In some way, it has managed to consolidate the destination because all our restaurants where there and we communicate as an exchange platform. The benefit, besides advertisement and recommendation, is that this publication is a solid copy of Puerto Vallarta’s evolution. If you pick up an old issue, immediately you’ll recall precious memories.”

“Vallarta Lifestyles is really well positioned. We are aware of that because we have seen people who arrive to our jewelry with the issue or the advertising in hand asking about the product that is featured there. This dynamic is really interesting for us and makes us glad.”
