Trends
Winning Score - Since 2013, the winning score has been between -17 and -22.
Course Form - Since the event moved to it's current slot in the calendar (in 2013), six of the past seven champions have played the event before. It is not an event to side with course debutants.
Recent Form - Three of the last seven champions had posted a top 7 finish in their previous start. Of the remaining four players, only one (Matt Kuchar) had not recorded a top 40 finish in their previous start. Recent form is important.
Nationality - Americans have dominated here. The only non-American to win was Graeme McDowell in 2015.
Age - The average age of winners here is 34. Ten winners have been in their 30s. Players with experience and ability to control the ball are preferred.
Stats Analysis
Driving Distance - None of the last five winners have finished inside the top 15 for driving distance and three of these winners finished outside the top 50 in this category.
Driving Accuracy - None of the last five winners have finished inside the top 15 for driving accuracy and four of the last five winners weren't even in the top 24 for this category.
Greens In Regulation - Three of the last five winners finished in the top 12 for greens in regulation. The two winners who did not (Matt Kuchar and Graeme McDowell) made up for it with excellent putting weeks.
Putts Per GIR - Every single winner has finished in the top 8 for putts per GIR. A hot putter is essential.
In-play
Fast or Slow Start - Every winner has posted a score of -2 or better in the first round. Two of the last five winners have opened with a round of 63 or better.

Mayakoba Golf Classic - Six To Watch
IMPORTANT NOTICE
As we draw towards the end of the season it has been necessary to review our performance since Golf Betting Club launched in June 2020.
If you had placed £10 each way bets on each of our Six To Watch selections and followed our in-play tips to £10 stakes you'd be over £7,300 in profit.
We love running Golf Betting Club, golf and golf betting are our passions. We put in countless hours each week providing pre-event, in-play and player profile content. However, we lose money running the website each month. The costs of operating the website exceed the income/donations we receive and that does not even account for the time we put in.
If we are to continue/improve the depth and quality of service, a change is needed for 2021. With that in mind, we will now be charging for our weekly Six To Watch. Our pre-event tips will now be provided via a private Telegram group (Telegram is similar to WhatsApp and more info can be found at Telegram.org).
From 2021, the annual subscription for our tips will be £249 and we are delighted to be partnering with Premier Sports Plays (www.premiersportsplays.com) to bring you this service. We will be in full charge of the Telegram group and Premier Sports Plays will handle the payments and administrative functions, allowing us to focus on the golf.
For the remaining tournaments in 2020, we'll be operating a FREE taster Telegram group to give you a flavour of what to expect in 2021. To sign up for a FREE trial until the end of 2020, sign up here:
https://www.premiersportsplays.com/category/15
(We obviously hope you do continue with us in 2021 but there is no obligation to continue the service once the free trial ends and you do not need to enter payment details unless you are taking up a 2021 subscription)
Please Note - We recognise that not everyone can afford to pay for a subscription. As such, our in-play tips and Player Profiles will remain free of charge and will continue to be available on golfbettingclub.com
