German contenders and Brooks Koepka’s comeback set the stage for an exciting start at Torrey Pines on the PGA Tour.
As the first tee times are announced for the Farmers Insurance Open, attention turns once again to Torrey Pines – one of the most iconic venues on the PGA Tour. The challenging South Course, featuring long par-4s, narrow fairways, and notorious greens, serves as a true test, while the slightly shorter North Course appears more scorable but offers no easy shots. This combination annually attracts a top-tier field and early sporting excitement.
From a German perspective, the tournament start is especially notable: Stephan Jäger, Thomas Rosenmüller, Matti Schmid, and Jeremy Paul are set to compete. Jäger and Rosenmüller will seek an aggressive start on the North Course, whereas Schmid faces tough international competition on the South Course.
Brooks Koepka’s PGA Tour Comeback
Another major storyline 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 strong field, making the Farmers Insurance Open even more thrilling. The tournament will be broadcast on MagentaTV Thursday and Friday from 5:30 PM and Saturday and Sunday from 6:00 PM (German time).
