German players and Brooks Koepka’s comeback create excitement at the PGA Tour kickoff in Torrey Pines. See the tee times here.
As the first tee times are announced for the Farmers Insurance Open, all eyes turn once again to Torrey Pines – one of the most iconic venues on the PGA Tour. The demanding South Course, with its long par-4 holes, 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 ensures a high-class field and early competitive excitement each year.
From a German perspective, the tournament start is particularly interesting: Stephan Jäger, Thomas Rosenmüller, Matti Schmid, and Jeremy Paul will compete. Jäger and Rosenmüller have the chance for an aggressive start on the North Course, while Schmid faces strong international competition right away 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 extra star power to an already elite field, making the Farmers Insurance Open even more thrilling. The tournament will be broadcast on MagentaTV Thursday and Friday from 18:00, and Saturday and Sunday from 17:00 (all times in German time).
