German players 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 at the Farmers Insurance Open, all eyes turn once again to Torrey Pines – one of the most iconic venues on the PGA Tour. The challenging South Course with its long par-4 holes, narrow fairways, and notorious greens is a true test, while the somewhat shorter North Course seems scorable but offers no freebies either. This blend ensures a high-caliber 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 will tee off. Jäger and Rosenmüller have a chance for an aggressive start on the North Course, while Schmid faces strong international competition right away on the South Course.
Brooks Koepka’s Comeback to the PGA Tour
Another major topic is the comeback of Brooks Koepka on the PGA Tour. The multiple major winner tees off alongside Ludvig Åberg and Max Homa on the South Course – a group likely to attract early tournament and fan attention. Koepka’s return brings extra star power to an already strong field, making the Farmers Insurance Open even more exciting. The tournament will be broadcast on MagentaTV Thursday and Friday from 5:30 PM and Saturday and Sunday from 6:00 PM (all times in Central European Time).
