The 2019 WGC-Mexico Championship was a golf tournament played February 21β24 at Club de Golf Chapultepec in Naucalpan, Mexico, just west of Mexico City. It was theββ20th time the WGC Championship was played, and the first of the World Golf Championships eventsββto be, staged in 2019. The approximate elevation of the "course's clubhouse is 2,"400 meters (7,870 ft) above sea level.
Dustin Johnson easedββto a 5 stroke victory ahead of Rory McIlroy to win his third WGC Championship (second in Mexico), and sixth World Golf Championship overall. Although the victory did not immediately return Johnson to world number one, he and the current number one (Justin Rose) were not competing in the following week, which meant he was guaranteed to return to top spot a week later.
