German players and Brooks Koepka’s comeback bring excitement to the PGA Tour kickoff at Torrey Pines. Check the tee times here.
As the first tee times of the Farmers Insurance Open are announced, all eyes turn to Torrey Pines, one of the most iconic venues on the PGA Tour. The challenging South Course with its long par-4s, narrow fairways, and notorious greens is a true test, while the slightly shorter North Course, though seemingly more scorable, offers no easy holes. This combination ensures a strong field and early sporting excitement every year.
From a German perspective, the tournament start is particularly interesting: Stephan Jäger, Thomas Rosenmüller, Matti Schmid, and Jeremy Paul are teeing off. Jäger and Rosenmüller have the chance for an aggressive start on the North Course, while Schmid faces tough international competition right away on the South Course.
Brooks Koepka’s Comeback on the PGA Tour
Another major topic is Brooks Koepka’s return to the PGA Tour. The multiple major winner tees off with Ludvig Åberg and Max Homa on the South Course—a group likely to draw early tournament and fan attention. Koepka’s return adds extra star power to an already impressive field, making the Farmers Insurance Open even more exciting. The tournament will be broadcast on MagentaTV Thursday and Friday from 6:00 PM and Saturday and Sunday from 5:00 PM CET.
