at Torrey Pines
January 2023
As one of the first events of the calendar year, the Farmers Insurance Open is one of the standout events on the PGA Tour.
Every January a packed field head to Torrey Pines in California looking to make a strong start to the year ahead, while many enjoy playing as part of the ‘West Coast Swing’ which also includes the CareerBuilder Challenge and Phoenix Open.
The West Coast is packed with championship courses that you can play, so head to the brilliant Torrey Pines for the Farmers Insurance Open to see Tiger Woods and other PGA Tour regulars in action and make time for some golf of your own too.
Like the majority of tournaments on both the European and PGA Tour, the Farmers Insurance Open benefits from commercial sponsorship but to some older fans, it may be remembered as the Buick Invitational.
The tournament is played in a standard match play format over four days with a cut after the second round. In recent years winners have included Jason Day, after an epic six hole playoff against Alex Noren in 2017 and Jon Rahm the year previous. However it’s Tiger Woods who has seen the most success at the tournament with seven victories.
