T
he first group of golfers teed off for this year’s Farmers Insurance Open on Jan. 25 at 9:40 a.m. The prestigious tournament, replete with a nearly $6.9 million purse, will continue through Jan. 28. Crowd favorite Tiger Woods had a later start, at 10:40 a.m. He will be making his first competitive start in the
tournament, which will also be his first official start on the PGA since last year’s Farmers Insurance Open. Since missing the majority of the 2017 season due to a back injury, Woods has been marked as a favorite to make the 36-hole cut. In 2013, he won the tournament for his seventh time, but has missed the 36-hole cut, 54-hole
cut and withdrawn in his past three appearances at Torrey Pines. While Woods draws a large crowd wherever he walks at the South Course at Torrey Pines, defending champion John Rahm is looking for back-to-back wins, as well as securing the World No. 1 title. Experts have also thrown Justin Rose, Tony Finau, Brandt Snedeker SEE FARMERS >> PG. 2
