Besides Stephan Jäger and Matti Schmid, two more German pros qualified on Monday for the Farmers Insurance Open.
At the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open, the main topic is Brooks Koepka’s return to the PGA Tour. However, beyond the stars, there is a lot at stake for the golfers, even before the official tournament start.
PGA Tour Monday Qualifier
In the Monday qualifier, 60 players competed for four starting spots at the famous Torrey Pines Golf Course. The qualifying event took place at the Mission Viejo Country Club. Among the successful participants were two German players. Thomas Rosenmüller shared first place with Swede Henrik Norlander at seven under par. Norlander impressed with five consecutive birdies on the back nine. Rosenmüller spread his nine stroke gains over the entire round, starting on hole 10 and despite two bogeys on holes 7 and 9, he remained at the top. Crucially, Rosenmüller reliably converted par-5s into birdies to climb to the top.
With five under par, American Hunter Logan and Jeremy Paul tied for third place, also qualifying for the Farmers Insurance Open. Paul also started on hole 10 and played a remarkable second nine with an eagle on hole 1, two birdies, and no bogeys. Thus, Rosenmüller and Paul complete the German lineup at Torrey Pines.

In the days before the tournament start, there were further changes in the Farmers Insurance Open field. Brian Campbell, Jimmy Stanger, Nico Echavarria, Patton Kizzire, and Michael Kim withdrew, allowing Matt Kuchar, Justin Lower, Taylor Moore, Joel Dahmen, and Sam Ryder to move up. Additionally, the field size is expanded to 147 players due to Brooks Koepka’s participation, enabling Jackson Suber and Lanto Griffin to join as well.
