German players and Brooks Koepka’s comeback add excitement to the PGA Tour opener at Torrey Pines. See the tee times here.
When the first tee times of the Farmers Insurance Open are announced, all eyes turn once again to Torrey Pines – one of the most iconic venues on the PGA Tour. The challenging South Course with its long par-4s, narrow fairways, and infamous greens presents a true test, while the somewhat shorter North Course may appear more scorable but also offers no favors. This combination attracts a high-caliber field each year and creates early sporting excitement.
From a German perspective, the tournament start is especially interesting: Stephan Jäger, Thomas Rosenmüller, Matti Schmid, and Jeremy Paul are competing. Jäger and Rosenmüller have a chance for an aggressive start on the North Course, while Schmid faces strong international competition on the South Course.
Brooks Koepka’s Comeback on the PGA Tour
Another major topic is the comeback of Brooks Koepka on the PGA Tour. The multiple major winner tees off alongside Ludvig Åberg and Max Homa on the South Course – a group likely to draw early tournament and fan attention. Koepka’s return adds star power to an already strong field, making the Farmers Insurance Open even more exciting. The tournament is broadcast on MagentaTV on Thursday and Friday from 6pm and on Saturday and Sunday from 5pm CET.
