Two more German pros qualified on Monday for the Farmers Insurance Open, joining Stephan Jäger and Matti Schmid.
At the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open, the main talking point is Brooks Koepka’s return to the PGA Tour. However, beyond the stars, the competition is fierce, even before the main tournament begins.
PGA Tour Monday Qualifier
Sixty players competed for four spots in the event held at the famous Torrey Pines Golf Course. The qualifying took place at 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 birdies throughout the round. Starting on hole 10, Rosenmüller had two bogeys on holes 7 and 9 but maintained the lead by reliably converting par-5s into birdies.
American players Hunter Logan and Jeremy Paul tied for third at five under par, also securing their spots at the Farmers Insurance Open. Paul likewise started on hole 10 and posted an impressive back nine with an eagle on the first hole, two birdies, and no bogeys. This means Rosenmüller and Paul join the German contingent at Torrey Pines.

In the days leading up to the tournament, there were further changes to the Farmers Insurance Open field. 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 in. Brooks Koepka’s participation expands the field to 147 players, which also lets Jackson Suber and Lanto Griffin join the tournament.
