2021 PGA Tour: Farmers Insurance Open January 28, 2020 by Marc Jerbs

On Thursday, the PGA Tour moves to Torrey Pines South Course in San Diego, California for the Farmers Insurance Open.

This course will also host this year's U.S. Open in June and the top golfers are expected to take this opportunity to get to know the course layout and structure.

Torrey Pines is considered as one of the Top 10 hardest golf course in the US.

Don't expect the participants to get very low scores as we've seen the past tournaments.

This golf course is difficult to tame since the conditions of a coastal course will play as a factor.

Golfers must be efficient off the tee and approach which will be the wining formula for this tournament.

The featured group on Thursday's opening round will be the trio of Phil Mickelson, Xander Schauffele and Jordan Spieth.

This group has struggled in past tournament in Torrey Pines and one is due for a breakout win.

This group's tee time is set 9:30am EST.

Another one to look into is the group of Rickie Fowler, Bubba Watson and Patrick Reed.

Rickie Fowler is still waiting to see the results of his recent swing change.

Bubba Watson and Patrick Reed would like to play their game at their best set of skills.

Their tee time is set 9:40am EST.

The sportsbook handicappers have installed Rory McIlroy as the favorite to win in the last round of the Farmers Insurance Open on Sunday.
