- Chihuahua native receives sponsor exemption
Mayakoba, Quintana Roo, May 14, 2025 – Andrea Ostos will be another Mexican player competing in the MÉXICO Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba.

In April of this year, she also competed in three events on the Annika Women’s All Pro Tour.
Ostos joins Gaby López, María Fassi, and Isabella Fierro, who earned direct entry into the tournament, as well as María Balcázar and Clarisa Temelo, who also received sponsor exemptions.
