The tour moves to the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines this week and, at least for the first few days, most of the headlines surround Brooks Koepka, who is playing in his first PGA Tour event for the first time in four years.
The five-time major champion left LIV Golf at the end of the year and applied for membership on the PGA Tour. He was allowed to return as part of the Returning Member Program and thus, here we are. He’ll play this week and next week at the WM Phoenix Open.
He and everyone else are playing for the $9.6 million purse with the winner taking home $1.728 million for the first-place prize.
Aside from Koepka, there are 10 players ranked inside the top 20 playing this week in California—Xander Schauffele (6), J.J. Spaun (7), Justin Rose (10), Harris English (11), Alex Noren (13), Keegan Bradley (15), Hideki Matsuyama (16), Chris Gotterup (17), Ludvig Aberg (19) and Cameron Young (20). English is the defending champion. Gotterup already has a win under his belt this year, winning the Sony Open in Hawaii to start the year. Scottie Scheffler, of course, won The American Express last week in Palm Springs and is not playing.
This week also marks the third event where players earn points toward the Aon Swing 5, where the top five following Phoenix will earn spots into the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and Genesis Invitational. Patrick Rodgers leads that list after two weeks.
Here’s the rundown of what each player will earn this week in San Diego. Check back here Sunday after play is complete for updates.
