German starters 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 for 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 demanding South Course, with its long par-4s, narrow fairways, and notorious greens, is a true test, while the slightly shorter North Course seems more scoreable but also offers no freebies. This combination delivers a top-class field and early sporting excitement every year.
From a German perspective, the tournament start is particularly interesting: Stephan Jäger, Thomas Rosenmüller, Matti Schmid, and Jeremy Paul will tee off. Jäger and Rosenmüller have the 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 talking point is the comeback of Brooks Koepka on the PGA Tour. The multiple major winner will tee 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 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 on Saturday and Sunday from 5:00 pm (German time).
