Besides Stephan Jäger and Matti Schmid, two more German pros qualified Monday for the Farmers Insurance Open.
At the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open, the main topic is Brooks Koepka’s return to the PGA Tour. However, beyond the stars, the tournament holds great importance for many golfers even before the official start.
PGA Tour Monday Qualifier
At the Monday Qualifier, 60 players competed for four starting spots at the famous Torrey Pines Golf Course. The qualifying event took place at the Mission Viejo Country Club. Among the successful participants were two German players. Thomas Rosenmüller shared 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, Rosenmüller had two bogeys on holes 7 and 9, but remained at the top. Crucially, he reliably converted the par-5 holes into birdies to secure his lead.
Sharing third place at five under par were Americans Hunter Logan and Jeremy Paul, who also qualified for the Farmers Insurance Open. Paul, also starting on hole 10, had a remarkable back nine with an eagle on hole 1, two birdies, and no bogeys. Thus, Rosenmüller and Paul complete the German contingent at Torrey Pines.

In the days leading up to the tournament, several player withdrawals including Brian Campbell, Jimmy Stanger, Nico Echavarria, Patton Kizzire, and Michael Kim allowed Matt Kuchar, Justin Lower, Taylor Moore, Joel Dahmen, and Sam Ryder to move into the field. Additionally, the field size was expanded to 147 players due to Brooks Koepka’s participation, allowing Jackson Suber and Lanto Griffin to join.
