German starters and Brooks Koepka’s comeback create excitement at the PGA Tour opener in Torrey Pines. Check out the tee times.
When the first tee times are announced for the Farmers Insurance Open, 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 somewhat shorter North Course seems more scorable but offers no easy gifts. This combination ensures a top-class field every year and early sporting excitement.
From a German perspective, the tournament start is particularly 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 directly on the South Course.
Brooks Koepka’s Comeback on the PGA Tour
Another major topic is the comeback of multiple major winner Brooks Koepka on the PGA Tour. He tees off together 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 stellar field, making the Farmers Insurance Open even more exciting. The tournament will be broadcast on MagentaTV Thursday and Friday from 17:30 CET and Saturday and Sunday from 18:00 CET.
The tee times are given in Central European Time.
