Defending champion Johnson Wagner, who has a tournament win under his belt already this season on the PGA Tour, headlines the full 132-player field that will head south to compete for the winner’s share ($666,000) of the $3.7m purse as well as 250 FedExCup points that are up for grabs this week at the Mayakoba.

Wagner defeated fellow American Spencer Levin in a playoff to win last year’s tournament, and those two players are both listed at 14/1 odds to win this event come Sunday – along with 2008 winner Brian Gay.

Wagner won the Sony Open back in mid-January and has yet to miss a cut in five starts in 2012, while Levin wound up in third place at the Phoenix Open and T9 two weeks ago at Pebble Beach. Gay’s best finish so far in 2012 was T6 at the Sony Open won by Wagner, and he finished T5 at Mayakoba last year.

Also expected to be among the contenders this week are Jarrod Lyle, Charles Howell III andRory Sabbatini, who are each listed at 20/1 odds. Lyle is coming off an impressive T4 finish last week at the Northern Trust Open, and has a consistent track record of solid results at the Mayakoba.

Champions Tour luminaries in the field this week in Mexico will include Tom Lehman and John Cook(both at 80/1 odds), as well as El Camaleon course designer Greg Norman (150/1). Cook turned back the clock with a solo third-place finish last year behind Wagner and Levin.
