Former world No 1 Brooks Koepka will headline a star-studded field at the Farmers Insurance Open starting tomorrow at the San Diego\u2019s iconic Torrey Pines Golf Course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The five-time major champion is officially making his return to the PGA Tour after announcing a shock exit from the rival LIV Golf last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will be his first start in a non-major on the Tour since the 2022 WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play via the Returning Member Program, which allows players who have achieved levels of elite performance-based criteria an alternative path back to the Tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Koepka will now feature in the 147-man field that also includes defending champion Harris English, Xander Schauffele, J.J. Spaun, Justin Rose, Hideki Matsuyama, Keegan Bradley, and Ludvig Aberg, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of his return to the Tour, Koepka was added to the field (145) so not to take a spot from a current Tour member. To round out threesomes, the field was officially expanded to 147, with the first two alternates at that time \u2013 Jackson Suber and Lanto Griffin added to the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Koepka, who had finished T4 at the 2021 U.S. Open when it was played at Torrey Pines, will be making his fifth start at the Farmers Insurance Open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
English had claimed his fifth Tour title at the championships last year and went on to finish the season with four top-10s \u2013 including runner-up finishes at the PGA Championship and Open Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He began his season with a T27 finish at The American Express last week and is currently No. 11 in the Official World Golf Ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00c5berg won The Genesis Invitational when it was staged last year at Torrey Pines\u2019 South Course after the event was relocated from The Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles following devastating wildfires in the area<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He makes third career appearance at the Farmers Insurance Open having finished T9 in 2024 and T42 last year. He was the 18-hole leader at the championships last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
