Farmers Insurance Open Schedule
The Farmers Insurance Open is scheduled to start on Wednesday, Jan. 24, a day earlier than usual. However, there might be a delay due to the marine layer. The tournament is set to conclude on Saturday.
Next week's AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am will follow the Thursday-Sunday format.
Multiple courses host the Farmers Insurance Open, with the North and South Courses at Torrey Pines Golf Course requiring strategically timed investments.
Betting Strategies
For live betting, consider targeting players who get off to a hot start in the first round on the challenging South Course. The 78 players who start on the South will play the North in the second round, providing leverage.
The South Course is known for its difficulty and has been the toughest non-major course in two of the last three seasons. It also hosted the 2021 U.S. Open.
PGA TOUR Fantasy Golf gamers should focus on the North Course, as players get eight starts in the first two rounds. It's important to have each of your six players cycle through the North.
