2026 Farmers Insurance Open Best Bets: It Takes More Than Driving Distance to Win

Enough with the birdie fests—get me to Torrey Pines! This week’s Farmers Insurance Open takes us to the historic San Diego venue and, while the field might not be as illustrious as the AmEx, we also don’t have Scottie Scheffler in the field to make the odds board largely a moot point. 

Torrey Pines is divided into two courses, the North and South, and we’ll see both this week with players splitting their first two rounds before finishing the weekend on the South. Both tracks were designed by William Francis Bell, and the South Course is the bear of the two, measuring 7,802 yards and previously serving as host to two U.S. Opens (2008 and 2021). The North Course is almost 500 yards shorter at 7,258.
