The 2026 Farmers Insurance Open will headline the PGA Tour from January 29 to February 1 at Torrey Pines Golf Course, with the high-profile return of Brooks Koepka bringing huge 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 south exclusively this weekend for a tough test of ball striking amid coastal winds and firm Poa annua greens.
The $9.6 million sum underlines the status of the premium event, which features top names such as Xander Schauffele, Ludvig Åberg, Max Homa and defending champion Harris English.
The event also marks Koepka’s return to the PGA Tour 2026 after he left LIV Golf.

Leading contenders for the Farmers Insurance Open
Xander Schauffele
His elite tackling numbers and familiarity with Torrey Pines’ firm, wind-exposed South Course make him the clear choice to finally conquer this event.
Ludvig Aberg
Aberg’s third straight Farmers start underlines his comfort at Poa and in windy conditions, positioning him for a first PGA Tour victory in the United States.
Brooks Koepka
Brooks Koepka returns to the PGA Tour via the new schedule, teeing off with Aberg and Max Homa in one of the big groups of the week.
The five-time Major winner’s ball striking is up to the standards of the South Course, despite a modest Farmers record (one achieved in four previous starts), and his great pedigree could make an instant statement.
Harris English
Harris EnglishWorld number 11 and 2025 winner, reloads as a top-20 threat with proven Torrey touch.
His steady game thrives early on the two-course setup, and he’ll lean on elite putting to navigate the weekend grind in the South.
Max Homa
His history in Torrey and his short game magic on the treacherous greens of the South keep him fully in the mix.
