Farmers Insurance Open: Preview

Brooks Koepka returns to PGA Tour action at the Farmers Insurance Open after his defection from LIV Golf. But this tournament is not one at which the five-time Major champion has historically done well, only making the cut once previously.

Xander Schauffele will make his first tour start of the year. The world number six's last outing was last year’s Baycurrent Classic, which he won.

He is one of ten golfers in the world top 20 who will be teeing it up. The others are JJ Spaun, Justin Rose, Harris English, Alex Noren, Keegan Bradley, Hideki Matsuyama, Chris Gotterup, Ludvig Åberg and Cameron Young.

Defending champion Harris English is looking to be the first man to win successive Farmers Insurance Opens since Tiger Woods won four consecutive events from 2005. Woods won this event seven times in all.

Golfers play a round each over Torrey Pines’ North and South courses, then a cut is made and the final two rounds are played on the South Course.

This tournament started life in 1952 as the San Diego Open. In 1954 Gene Littler won it as an amateur. As he was ineligible for prize money, he was given a five-piece tea set instead for his victory. This year’s winner gets $1,728,000.
