Alongside Stephan Jäger and Matti Schmid, two more German pros qualified Monday for the Farmers Insurance Open.
At the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open, the main talking point remains Brooks Koepka’s return to the PGA Tour. However, beyond the stars, much is at stake for the players, some even before the tournament begins.
PGA Tour Monday Qualifier
In the Monday qualifier, 60 players competed for four spots in the event at the famous Torrey Pines Golf Course, with qualifying held at the Mission Viejo Country Club. Among the successful participants were two German players. Thomas Rosenmüller tied for first place with Swedish 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, he faced two bogeys on holes 7 and 9 but maintained the lead. Crucially, Rosenmüller reliably converted the par-5s into birdies to secure his top position.
Sharing third place at five under par were Americans Hunter Logan and Jeremy Paul, who also qualified for the Farmers Insurance Open. Paul, who also started on hole 10, had a stellar second nine with an eagle on hole 1, two birdies, and no bogeys. Thus, Rosenmüller and Paul join the German contingent at Torrey Pines.
