Brooks Was Here 🪂
The Farmers Insurance Open takes place at one of the most beautiful venues on the PGA TOUR: Torrey Pines. Together, the North and the South Course test the world’s best every January. Twenty-seven of the top 50 players in the world are competing, highlighted by six players in the top 15 of the OWGR. A field of 142 has been increased to 147 players with the addition of Brooks Koepka. Shocking, this is probably the first place you heard this news. Lol. We are going to use a wait-and-see strategy for Brooks. It has been quite a while since he has seen a field this talented and done some damage to the leaderboard. As a US Open venue, the South Course is a good fit, but without any recent form, we will pass. Koepka does look motivated to play, and he should be. Given a path back to the PGA TOUR, he can start to earn signature status. That starts with making the cut. The top 65 and ties will play the weekend for $9.6 million and $1.73 million to first place.
