German players and Brooks Koepka’s comeback create excitement at the season opener at Torrey Pines on the PGA Tour. See the tee times here.
When the first tee times of the Farmers Insurance Open are announced, attention turns 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 notorious greens is a true test, while the somewhat shorter North Course appears more scorable but offers no gifts either. This combination annually ensures a top-class field and early sporting excitement.
From a German perspective, the tournament start is particularly interesting: Stephan Jäger, Thomas Rosenmüller, Matti Schmid, and Jeremy Paul are teeing off. Jäger and Rosenmüller have a chance for an aggressive start on the North Course, while Schmid faces strong international competition directly on the South Course.
Brooks Koepka’s Comeback on the PGA Tour
Another major theme is Brooks Koepka’s comeback on the PGA Tour. The multi-major winner tees off together with Ludvig Åberg and Max Homa on the South Course—a group expected to draw early tournament and fan focus. Koepka’s return adds extra star power to the already high-caliber field, making the Farmers Insurance Open even more exciting. The tournament will be broadcast on MagentaTV Thursday and Friday from 6:00 pm and Saturday and Sunday from 5:00 pm (all times in German time).
The tee times are listed in German local time.
