Alongside Stephan Jäger and Matti Schmid, two more German pros qualified on Monday for the Farmers Insurance Open.
At the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open, the main talking point is Brooks Koepka’s return to the PGA Tour. However, beyond the stars, much is at stake for other players, some even before the official tournament begins.
PGA Tour Monday Qualifier
In the Monday Qualifier, 60 players competed for four spots in the tournament held at the famous Torrey Pines Golf Course. The qualifying event took place at the Mission Viejo Country Club. Among the successful qualifiers were two German players. Thomas Rosenmüller shared first place with Swede Henrik Norlander at seven under par. Norlander impressed with five consecutive birdies on the back nine, while Rosenmüller spread his nine stroke gains throughout the round. Starting on hole 10, Rosenmüller had two bogeys on holes 7 and 9 but maintained the lead. Crucially, he reliably converted the par-5s into birdies to secure the top spot.
With five under par, Americans Hunter Logan and Jeremy Paul tied for third place and also qualified for the Farmers Insurance Open. Paul also started on hole 10 and delivered a remarkable back nine with an eagle on hole 1, two birdies, and no bogeys. Thus, Rosenmüller and Paul complete the German contingent in 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 enter. Additionally, Brooks Koepka’s participation expanded the field size to 147 players, enabling Jackson Suber and Lanto Griffin to join as well.
