German players and Brooks Koepka’s comeback create excitement at the PGA Tour start in Torrey Pines. Check out the tee times here.
As the first tee times are announced at the Farmers Insurance Open, attention turns once again 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 somewhat shorter North Course appears scorable but offers no giveaways. This combination each year ensures a high-quality field and early sporting excitement.
From a German perspective, the tournament start is especially interesting: Stephan Jäger, Thomas Rosenmüller, Matti Schmid, and Jeremy Paul will tee off. Jäger and Rosenmüller have the chance for an aggressive start on the North Course, while Schmid faces strong international competition on the South Course.
Brooks Koepka’s Comeback on the PGA Tour
Another major topic is Brooks Koepka’s comeback on the PGA Tour. The multiple major winner tees off alongside Ludvig Åberg and Max Homa on the South Course—a threesome likely to attract early attention from fans and media. Koepka’s return adds extra star power to the already strong field, making the Farmers Insurance Open even more thrilling. The tournament will be broadcast on MagentaTV Thursday and Friday from 6 pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 5 pm (all times German local time).
