German starters and Brooks Koepka’s comeback create excitement at the Torrey Pines kickoff of the PGA Tour. Here are the tee times.
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-4 holes, narrow fairways, and notorious greens is a true test, while the slightly shorter North Course seems more scorable but offers no gifts either. This combination ensures a high-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 are all starting. Jäger and Rosenmüller have the chance for an aggressive start on the North Course, while Schmid faces strong international competition directly on the South Course.
Brooks Koepka’s Comeback at the PGA Tour
Another major topic is Brooks Koepka’s comeback on the PGA Tour. The multiple major winner tees off together with Ludvig Åberg and Max Homa on the South Course – a group likely to draw early tournament and fan attention. Koepka’s return to the PGA Tour adds extra star power to an already high-caliber field and makes the Farmers Insurance Open even more exciting. The tournament will be broadcast on MagentaTV Thursday and Friday from 6 pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 5 pm CET.
The tee times are listed in Central European Time (CET).
