The California Swing heads to San Diego for picturesque Torrey Pines and all eyes will be on the five-time major champion back from years at LIV Golf.

The PGA Tour’s young 2026 season stays in California for the Farmers Insurance Open, with a headliner who hasn’t played a regular Tour event in more than three years.

Brooks Koepka, 35, announced in December that he would be leaving LIV Golf and three weeks later was back on the PGA Tour via a “Returning Member Program,” allowing the five-time major champion to come back with restrictions.

Among the restrictions are an inability to play signature events unless he qualifies, so non-signatures like the Farmers are on the itinerary. His playing will also not cost a spot to another Tour member; the field this week will be 147 players: the usual 144 plus Koepka, then two more players from the alternate list to fill out threesomes.

Three players from the world top 10 are in the field—California natives Xander Schauffele and J.J. Spaun, plus 2019 champion Justin Rose—and 10 of the top 20 overall. World no. 11 Harris English is back as the returning champion.

The field will play Torrey Pines’s famed South course and easier North course the first two rounds, then after the cut everyone is on the South for the weekend.

For the record, Koepka has four appearances at the Farmers but just one made cut, in his first appearance in 2015. In three starts since, the last being in 2022, he has three missed cuts with just one round under par.

This is also the final year of Farmers Insurance as sponsor of the San Diego event, so expect some discussion this week about the tournament’s future given PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp's desire to create more scarcity and simplicity on the Tour schedule.
