The 2026 Farmers Insurance Open headlines the PGA Tour from January 29-February 1 at Torrey Pines Golf Course, with Brooks Koepka’s high-profile return drawing massive attention to the California swing.
The event splits the first two rounds between the par-72 North Course (7,258 yards) and the notoriously brutal South Course (7,765 yards, par 72).
The post-cut action then shifts exclusively to the South for the weekend for a punishing test of ball-striking amid coastal winds and firm Poa annua greens.
The $9.6 million purse underscores its premium event status, pulling in top names like Xander Schauffele, Ludvig Åberg, Max Homa, defending champion Harris English.
The event will also mark the return of Koepka to the 2026 PGA Tour after he quit LIV Golf.

Leading Contenders For The Farmers Insurance Open
Xander Schauffele
Xander Schauffele tops the odds as a San Diego native with world-class irons and a pedigree for performing under West Coast pressure.
His elite strokes-gained approach numbers and familiarity with Torrey Pines’ firm, wind-exposed South Course make him the outright pick to finally conquer this event.
Ludvig Aberg
Ludvig Aberg pairs towering length with pinpoint control, fresh off a strong showing at The Genesis Invitational on a relocated South Course setup last year.
Aberg’s third straight Farmers start highlights his comfort on Poa and in breezy conditions, positioning him for a maiden PGA Tour win stateside.
Brooks Koepka
Brooks Koepka makes his PGA Tour return via the new program, teeing off with Aberg and Max Homa in one of the week’s marquee groups.
The five-time major winner’s ball-striking suits the South Course’s demands despite a modest Farmers record (one made cut in four prior starts), and his major pedigree could spark an instant statement.
Harris English
Harris English, world No. 11 and a 2025 winner, reloads as a top-20 threat with proven Torrey touch.
His steady game thrives on the two-course setup early, and he’ll lean on elite putting to navigate the weekend grind on the South.
Max Homa
Max Homa has a dominant California record with four of six PGA Tour titles coming in the Golden State, including the 2023 Farmers where he edged Keegan Bradley.
His Torrey history and short-game magic around the South’s treacherous greens keep him squarely in the mix.
