Grupo Vidanta Congratulates Carlos Ortiz for His Big PGA Win at the Vivint Houston Open

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Carlos Ortiz, our Vidanta Golf Ambassador, has made history by winning the Vivint Houston Open on Sunday in Houston, Texas, and becoming the third Mexican player ever—and the first in the last 42 years—to secure a PGA Tour title.

Born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Carlos Ortiz joined the PGA Tour in the 2016 season. Throughout his extraordinary career, he has participated in important world-class championships like the FedEx Cup, the OHL Classic at Mayakoba and the Sanderson Farms Championship, where he tied for third place in 2018.
