Besides Stephan Jäger and Matti Schmid, two more German pros qualified Monday for the Farmers Insurance Open.
At the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open, one topic dominates: Brooks Koepka’s return to the PGA Tour. But beyond the stars, much is at stake for the golfers, even before the tournament officially begins.
PGA Tour Monday Qualifier
At the Monday Qualifier, 60 players competed for four spots in the tournament at the famous Torrey Pines Golf Course. The qualifying event took place at Mission Viejo Country Club. Among the successful participants are two German players. Thomas Rosenmüller shared first place with Swede Henrik Norlander, both finishing seven under par. Norlander impressed with five consecutive birdies on the back nine. Rosenmüller spread his nine stroke gains across the entire round. Starting on hole 10, he faltered with two bogeys on holes 7 and 9 but maintained the lead. Crucially, Rosenmüller reliably converted the par-5s into birdies, pushing him to the top.
Sharing third place at five under par were American Hunter Logan and Jeremy Paul, who also qualify for the Farmers Insurance Open. Paul, who also started on hole 10, had a remarkable back nine with an eagle on the first hole, two birdies, and no bogeys. Thus, Rosenmüller and Paul join the German contingent at Torrey Pines.

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 in. Furthermore, with Brooks Koepka’s participation, the field size expands to 147 players, enabling Jackson Suber and Lanto Griffin to move up as well.
