Treviño wins Tlaxcala Open as Mexico’s FootGolf season opens strong

Juanjo Treviño won the men’s division at the Tlaxcala Open after a three-way tie at minus 12 was settled in a playoff at Hacienda Soltepec. Max Aguiar took second and Arturo Zeron finished third, giving Monterrey and Mexico City a place at the top of the opening leaderboard as Mexico’s 2026 Circuito Mexicano de FootGolf season got underway.

The rest of the board stayed just as competitive. Alejandro Naranjo won the Senior title ahead of José Garrido and Joel López, while Anjuli Ladrón claimed the women’s crown over Ovilia Cruz and Andrea Chapa. Víctor Macías captured Senior Plus with Arturo González and Yerko Guerra behind him, Andrik González won the Junior division over Leo Contreras, and Ricardo Ferro finished first in Amateur with Tony Lozano in second. The results spread across every major division showed a circuit that opened with established names but no shortage of pressure at the top.

That depth matters because the Tlaxcala opener sits inside a national calendar that stretches across seven states and awards ranking points for both the World Tour and the Inter American FootGolf Tour. FootGolf Mexico also keeps the door open to new players, with its championship described as open participation and no prior experience required, a structure that has widened the field without lowering the level at the front.

Hacienda Soltepec has already become a familiar stage for that progression. The same venue hosted the 2024 Tlaxcala Open as the seventh and final stop of that season, on a par-69 layout that Mexican footgolfers embraced quickly. Returning there for the 2026 opener gave the first event of the year a familiar test and produced a leaderboard that mostly confirmed the sport’s established hierarchy rather than overturning it.

Fernando Name framed the Tlaxcala opener as an important launch point for a year that will lead into the FootGolf World Championship in Acapulco. The world event is set for a 12-day run, with the individual championship scheduled for May 27 to June 1 and the team championship from June 2 to June 7, and the official site lists 1,240 players and 64 teams across Turtle Dunes and Tres Vidas.

Mexico’s place in that calendar is secure. Official Acapulco 2026 material notes that Mexico was a founding country in the sport and has played in every FootGolf world championship, while FootGolf Mexico says it is chasing recognition as the strongest national team in North America. With the Tlaxcala Open now in the books and the Cancún Open next in August, the domestic season already has a clear shape and a clear stake.
