German players and Brooks Koepka’s comeback add excitement to the PGA Tour opener at Torrey Pines.
As the first tee times are announced for the Farmers Insurance Open, attention once again turns 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 slightly shorter North Course may seem scoreable but does not give any gifts. This combination ensures a high-quality 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 tee off. Jäger and Rosenmüller have the opportunity 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 talking point is Brooks Koepka’s comeback to the PGA Tour. The multiple major winner will tee off alongside Ludvig Åberg and Max Homa on the South Course – a grouping likely to attract early tournament and fan focus. Koepka’s return adds star power to an already elite field, making the Farmers Insurance Open even more exciting. The tournament will be broadcast on MagentaTV Thursday and Friday from 17:30 and Saturday and Sunday from 18:00 (German time).
