German players and Brooks Koepka’s comeback spark excitement at the Torrey Pines PGA Tour opener. Here are the tee times.
When 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 challenging 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 also spares no favors. This combination ensures a top-class field and early sporting excitement every year.
From a German perspective, the tournament kickoff is particularly interesting: Stephan Jäger, Thomas Rosenmüller, Matti Schmid, and Jeremy Paul are all starting. Jäger and Rosenmüller have a chance for an aggressive start on the North Course, while Schmid faces tough international competition directly on the South Course.
Brooks Koepka’s Comeback to the PGA Tour
Another major topic is Brooks Koepka’s comeback on the PGA Tour. The multiple major winner tees off on the South Course alongside Ludvig Åberg and Max Homa – a group likely to attract early tournament and fan attention. Koepka’s return adds extra star power to an already strong field, making the Farmers Insurance Open even more exciting. The tournament will be broadcast on MagentaTV on Thursday and Friday from 5:30 PM and on Saturday and Sunday from 6:00 PM (all times German time).
