Brooks Koepka remains 1 over
The five-time major champion is putting together an awfully pedestrian round thus far. He’s 1 over through 12 as of 3:45 p.m. ET and on a streak of eight straight pars. Still, he’s limiting the damage and biding his time until he plays the North Course tomorrow. Ten of the top 11 players on the leaderboard are on the North Course.
Brooks Koepka shoots 1 over on first nine of PGA Tour return
Brooks Koepka shot 1-over 37 on the front nine at Torrey Pines South to get underway at the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open. He made one bogey and eight pars, with a few missed opportunities at birdie looks and a few really solid par saves.
The South Course is undoubtedly playing harder than the North Course, so Koepka might just be in “survive and advance” mode for the rest of the day. He’ll play the North Course on Friday, which is already yielding a lot of birdies. He then scrambed for another par on the 10th before making yet another par on the 11th:
Max McGreevy goes on birdie binge for impressive front nine
It’s already evident that the South Course is playing much harder than the North Course, which is typical, but someone forgot to tell that to Max McGreevy, made four birdies in a row to close out a 5-under 31 on the front nine.
Max Greyserman fires 31 on front nine at North Course
Quite the start to the Farmers Insurance Open for Max Greyserman, who made five birdies and four pars en route to a 5-under 31 on the front nine at the North Course. He’s in the solo lead as of 2:25 p.m. ET.
Brooks Koepka greets the fans at Torrey pines
Jason Day makes some magic from off the green
Jason Day hit a beautiful chip shot at the par-5 10th hole on the North Course, which was his first hole of the day, and tapped in for birdie. He then made another birdie on No. 11 to get off to a hot start early Thursday at the Farmers.
Brooks Koepka makes two more pars
Brooks Koepka is 1 over through six holes after two more pars on Nos. 5 and 6 at the South Course as of 2 p.m. ET. His driver has been a bit erratic but he’s been able to scramble his way to a respectable start thus far.
Max Greyserman is the first to reach 3 under
Max Greyserman has taken the solo lead early Thursday with a really stellar start to his round. Three birdies and three pars on the first six holes at the North Course has Greyserman atop the leaderboard as of 1:50 p.m. ET.
Brooks Koepka makes his first bogey
Brooks Koepka made his first bogey at the par-4 fourth. His drive found a fairway bunker and he three-putted from about 55 feet for bogey. He’s 1 over through four as of 1:30 p.m. ET.
Perfect conditions at Torrey Pines on Thursday
While much of the U.S. continues to suffer through brutal winter weather, the players at the Farmers Insurance Open are enjoying absolutely perfect golf conditions Thursday in southern California. It’s 65 degrees and sunny with a very light wind around 5 mph. According to the forecast, it’ll stay like that all weekend at Torrey Pines.
Koepka with another par
Brooks Koepka is even through three holes on the Torrey Pines South Course.
Ludvig Aberg throws a dart at the third
Ludvig Aberg made the first ace of his PGA Tour career on the third hole at Torrey Pines South last season. This year, he dang near did it again. Check out this beauty from Aberg, who’s 1 over through three holes to begin his opening round at the Farmers.
Brooks Koepka opens with a pair of pars
Koepka is off to a solid start at Torrey Pines South — widely considered the more difficult of the two courses this week — with two pars at Nos. 1 and 2. He’s 2-for-2 in greens in regulation and hit a nice lag putt on the second green to tap in for four.
Xander Schauffele begins his 2026 season at Torrey Pines
While many of the eyes are on Brooks Koepka today, one of the world’s best players is making his 2026 season debut in his hometown. Xander Schauffele, ranked No. 3 in the OWGR, teed off on the first hole of Torrey Pines South just before 1 p.m. ET.
The La Jolla native was winless in 2025 up until the very last event he played, the Baycurrent Classic in Japan, which he won by one shot to cap off his season back in October. A two-time major champion seemingly entering his prime, Schauffele is poised for another solid season as he gets underway in 2026.
Koepka makes par on No. 1
Brooks Koepka had a really good look at birdie from about 12 feet on the first hole at Torrey Pines South but narrowly missed it. He taps in for par and he’s off and running on the PGA Tour once again.
Brooks Koepka hits his first tee shot back on the PGA Tour
Brooks Koepka let it fly just after 12:30 p.m. ET on Thursday for his opening round of the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open, playing alongside Ludvig Aberg and Max Homa. Koepka’s ball found the fairway on No. 1 at the South Course. The 35-year-old five-time major champion is officially playing his first round on the PGA Tour since 2022.
2026 Farmers Insurance Open gets underway
