Farmers Insurance Open

This is the tournament where we can officially say that the PGA season is back in business. The NFL season is winding down, and we finally get to see our first “true test” of golf at a tougher, traditional venue at Torrey Pines. As was the case with last week’s Pro-Am, we have a different style of event once again this week with two course in play during the first two rounds. Each golfer will play one round on the Torrey Pines North Course and one round on the South Course prior to the cut, before the host South Course handles all of the weekend duties.

The host South Course measures as a healthy par 72 that plays at nearly 7,800 yards from the tips. The North Course isn’t quite as long and generally plays around two to three strokes easier. That differential used to be greater prior to some renovations were done at the North Course a few years ago. Still, we can expect the North Course to yield the better scoring conditions. You will want your golfers to have a good round there. In addition, if you are playing single round slates on DraftKings, prioritizing North Course golfers on the first two days is absolutely essential.
