PGA Tour Farmers Insurance Open

The Farmers Insurance Open hasn't produced a multiple winner since Jason Day won in 2015 and again in 2019. Thirteen of the past 16 winners of this event have posted a top-10 finish in a previous Farmers Insurance Open prior to their win. Of the three who didn't, both Mathieu Pavon (2024) and Jon Rahm (2017) were first-time participants in the tournament.

There's a $9.3 million purse up for grabs in the Farmers Insurance Open, along with 500 FedEx Cup points. The 156-player field will be cut to the top 65 and ties following the second round of play. Another factor to keep in mind - in order to avoid clashing with the NFL Conference Championship games, this event is operating on a Wednesday-Saturday schedule.

Best Bets

Let's have a look at the top contenders in the PGA Tour golf picks for this year's Farmers Insurance Open.

Ludvig Aberg (+900)

In his Torrey Pines debut last year, Aberg finished in a tie for ninth in the Farmers Insurance Open.

In his lone appearance this year, the Swedish golfer tied for fifth at The Sentry. He tied for ninth here last year and has recorded top-20 finishes in five successive tournaments.

Hideki Matsuyama (+1000)

Matsuyama opened his 2025 PGA Tour season with a victory in The Sentry. He's been an ever-present in this event during his career, but has never won the Farmers Insurance Open.

Since 2018, Matsuyama has recorded four top-15s at Torrey Pines. Twice, he's cracked the top-10 of the leaderboard.

Sungaie Im (+2000)

In five of his six appearances in this tournament, South Korean Im has made the cut. Twice, he's finished in the top 10.

Im wound up tied for fourth in 2023. However, last year he was missing the cut.

Will Zalatoris (+2200)

Zalatoris has been all over the Farmers Insurance Open leaderboard without topping it. He lost in a playoff to Luke List in 2022.

Zalatoris also has recorded ties for seventh and 13th in this tournament. He's recorded four top-20 finishes over his past six tournaments. And he can save a lot of strokes on this tight layout with his strong short game.

Tony Finau (+2200)

Finau loves Torrey Pines. Nine times in 10 Farmers Insurance Open appearances, he's finished among the top 25.

Six of those finishes were top-10s, including each of his past two tourneys. Finau was tied for second here in 2021.

Farmers Insurance Open Longshots To Consider

Looking to rebound from a downturn in his game last year, Max Homa (+3000) was the tournament winner in the 2023 Farmers Insurance Open. Keegan Bradley (+2200) was runner-up to Homa that year. He's wound in the top-five here three times.

As noted earlier, Day (+2500) is a two-time winner of this event. He's coming in off a tie for third at the American Express. Justin Rose (+6000) won the 2019 Farmers Insurance Open.

Farmers Insurance Open Prop Bets

BetUS is offering a series of prop wagers on the Farmers Insurance Open. Finau is the +1200 chalk to be the low American finisher. Matsuyama and Aberg are both given +700 odds to score a hole in one during the tournament.

Exactly one stroke is set with +175 favorite's odds to be the tournament winning margin. No is the overwhelming -500 chalk when it comes to a prop play on whether there will be a playoff required to determine the winner.

PGA Tour Farmers Insurance Open Pick

Matsuyama is going to win this tournament one of these years, so why not this year? He's off to a hot start, already with a win and two top-20 finishes. It's the 11th straight season in which the former Masters champion has recorded a top-10 finish on the PGA Tour.
