German starters and Brooks Koepka’s comeback promise excitement at the PGA Tour opener in Torrey Pines. Here are the tee times.
As the first tee times are called at 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 may seem scoreable but also offers no gifts. This combination ensures a top-class field and early sporting 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 opportunities 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 highlight 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 grouping likely to attract early tournament and fan attention. Koepka’s return adds extra star power to an already high-profile field, making the Farmers Insurance Open even more exciting. The tournament will be broadcast on MagentaTV Thursday and Friday from 17:30 CET and Saturday and Sunday from 18:00 CET.
