2025 Farmer's Insurance Open Course Preview

The PGA Tour heads to beautiful La Jolla, California this week for the Farmer’s Insurance Open, a staple on the PGA Tour since 1952. It was not held at Torrey Pines (simultaneously one of the greatest architectural travesties and most beautiful walks in the country) until 1968, a public golf facility owned by the city of San Diego. I go to this event every single year, and I am extremely familiar with the golf course. I'll get into my architectural qualms below, but Torrey remains one of the most wonderful places to enjoy live golf in the country, and it's first time the players will actually be tested this year, although we can litigate the homogeneity of the challenge. Players will split their first two rounds between the North and South Courses, and those who make the cut will play the weekend on the South Course, the much more difficult of the two.
