Who to watch for at the Farmers Insurance Open
Best Bets:
Collin Morikawa
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
3 | T21 |
This could be his week. He is playing great with his new coach, putting has improved, and with each round, you can see his excitement of playing great again and feel he could be a winner this week.
Jason Day
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T7 | T3 | CUT | T16 | T5 | Win | CUT | CUT | Win | T2 | T9 |
He has won it twice and plays well most of the time at Torrey. Don’t think you can go wrong with him, his game looked close in his last couple of starts.
Sungjae Im
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T4 | T6 | T32 | T36 | T52 |
Is hot, hot, hot right now, and you have to think he will be in the top 15. He is due for a win, hard to believe he hasn’t won since the 2021 Shriners Children’s.
Best of the rest:
Xander Schauffele
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T13 | T34 | T2 | CUT | T25 | CUT | CUT | CUT |
He has always struggled in this event, even though he grew up in the area and played the course as a junior. He says that most of the time, he has played sick during the week of the Farmers. He did finish T-2nd in the Farmers in 2021 and later in the summer was T-7th when the U.S. Open was played on it. I think his game is too good right now to pass on him, yes he could win because the course is good for his style of play.
Max Homa
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Win | CUT | T18 | T9 | CUT | CUT | CUT |
He is always worth the money when playing in California. Has played great since finishing T-21st at the Rocket Mortgage. His last eight starts haven’t been worse than T-14th, so yes, I have to think about him this week.
Keegan Bradley
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2 | T65 | T16 | T35 | 5 | T4 | CUT | T41 | T16 | CUT | T22 |
Is a very savvy pick. His record is pretty good at the Farmers, he has three top-ten in 12 starts, including a 2nd last year. Played well at Sony, losing in the playoff.
Adrian Meronk
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |

First time playing in this event |
More info:
He is coming in off of his runner-up finish in the Dubai Desert Classic and 10th at the Dubai Invitational. He had a great year in Europe and will play well on the PGA Tour starting this week
Solid contenders
Tony Finau
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T9 | CUT | T2 | T6 | T13 | T6 | T4 | T18 | T24 |
He was T-9th last year and was T-2nd in 2021, and I’m just wondering if he is playing well right now.
Sahith Theegala
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T4 | T25 |
His numbers are good in 2023, he was T-4th last year in his second Farmers start.
Luke List
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T25 | Win | T10 | T36 | T40 | T12 | CUT | CUT | T68 |
He won this event in 2022 and could do it again.
Taylor Montgomery
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T31 | T11 |
He was T-11th in 2022 and T-31st last year at Torrey, and he has been on a consistent roll since September.
Long shots that could come through:
Christiaan Bezuidenhout
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |

Has played great in the last six months, including a runner-up finish last week at the Amex.

First time playing in this event |
More info:
He is another from the DP World Tour who is playing on the PGA Tour in 2024. He has played great ever since winning the BMW PGA Championship last September, and this course is perfect for his game.
Adam Schenk
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |

Has played consistently for over a year now. He may surprise us at Torrey.

Is fresh off of his great year on the Korn Ferry Tour, and I can see him doing well this week.
Sam Stevens

T13 |
Has played well this month but had terrible final rounds, he was T-13th last year at Torrey.
Not this week:
Patrick Cantlay
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CUT | T51 | CUT |
He is a big no for me; he is not playing well right now and has never played well at Torrey; take a pass on him this week.
Ludvig Aberg
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |

First time playing in this event |
More info:
Is a tough call; I said to pass on him at the Sony, and he finished T-30th. I feel the course would suit his game, but I’m worried he may struggle on the poa greens.
Eric Cole
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |

CUT |
Yes, he is playing well, but I don’t think the course and greens will be in his favor. So be careful with him.
