Early life

Ortiz was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. He played college golf in the United States at the University of North Texas.[1] At the 2011 Summer Universiade, he was on the team that won the bronze medal. He played in the Mexican team at the 2010 Eisenhower Trophy and again in 2012 where Mexico were runners-up.

His younger brother Álvaro is an amateur golfer who represented Mexico in the Eisenhower Trophy in 2016 and 2018 and won the 2019 Latin America Amateur Championship.

Professional career

Ortiz turned professional in 2013. He finished T-15 at the Web.com Tour qualifying school after playing in the first, second and final stages. He then joined the Tour in 2014. He won the fourth event of the year, the Panama Claro Championship.[1][2] He won his second Web.com Tour event three weeks later at the El Bosque Mexico Championship and moved inside the top 200 in the Official World Golf Ranking. Ortiz was given a sponsor exemption to compete in the 2014 Memorial Tournament, where he finished T-65 in his PGA Tour debut. He won his third Web.com event of the season at the WinCo Foods Portland Open, earning fully exempt status on the 2014−15 PGA Tour as a three-time, single-season winner.[3] He was later voted the Web.com Tour Player of the Year.[4] In his first full PGA Tour season, Ortiz finished 93rd in the FedEx Cup and had a season-best finish of T9 at the OHL Classic at Mayakoba.
