Besides Stephan Jäger and Matti Schmid, two more German professionals qualified on Monday for the Farmers Insurance Open.
At the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open, all eyes are on Brooks Koepka’s return to the PGA Tour. However, beyond the star power, there is much at stake for many players, even before the official start of the tournament.
PGA Tour Monday Qualifier
Sixty players competed for four spots at the Monday Qualifier held at the Mission Viejo Country Club, aiming to secure a place in the event at the famous Torrey Pines Golf Course. Among the successful qualifiers are two German players. Thomas Rosenmüller shared first place with Sweden’s Henrik Norlander, both finishing seven under par. Norlander impressed with five consecutive birdies on the back nine, while Rosenmüller spread his nine stroke gains over the entire round. Starting on hole 10, Rosenmüller had two bogeys on holes 7 and 9 but managed to stay at the top, largely thanks to his consistent ability to convert the par-5 holes into birdies.
Americans Hunter Logan and Jeremy Paul tied for third place at five under par, also securing their spots at the Farmers Insurance Open. Paul, like Rosenmüller, started on hole 10 and delivered a remarkable back nine with an eagle on hole 1, two birdies, and no bogeys. With their qualification, Rosenmüller and Paul complete the German representation at 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 move into the field. Additionally, with Brooks Koepka joining, the field size expands to 147 players, which opens spots for Jackson Suber and Lanto Griffin.
