Farmers Insurance Open: Prediction, Tips and Odds

The PGA Tour's West Coast Swing continues this week with the Farmers Insurance Open, which will be staged at Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego, California.

Starting on Wednesday to ensure there is no clash with the NFL Conference Championship matches on Sunday, the first two rounds will be played on the North and South courses before a 36-hole cut is made.

The remaining players will then play the final 36 holes on the 7,765-yard South Course, the tougher of the two layouts and one which hosted the 2008 and 2021 US Opens.

With no Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele or Collin Morikawa in attendance this week, Swedish ace Ludvig Aberg has been installed as the 10/1 favourite, ahead of 11/1 Hideki Matsuyama.

Farmers Insurance Open betting tips and predictions

Max Homa to win and each-way - 33/1

American Max Homa struggled on his first three cracks at the Farmers Insurance Open, missing the cut in all of them, before he started to get to grips with the layout and posted form figures of ninth, 18th and another MC.

The 34-year-old's seventh appearance in this event came in 2023 and he ended up lifting the trophy, finishing two strokes ahead of compatriot Keegan Bradley to land his sixth PGA Tour title.

Homa put in a respectable defence of his title 12 months later, recording a tied-13th effort, and recent signs from him suggest another strong showing could be seen in San Diego.

The California native, who has won four times in his home state, struggled in the second half of 2024 but he produced a confidence-boosting T26 at the Sentry in his first outing of 2025.

Homa was 12th in strokes gained off the tee, T15 in driving accuracy and T4 in greens in regulation for that event, evidence of his crisp ball-striking, and any improvement with the flat stick should see him challenge.

Aaron Rai to win and each-way - 45/1

When you talk about reliable players from tee-to-green, Aaron Rai ranks right up there over the past couple of seasons and he proved his class when winning the Wyndham Championship in August last year, adding to his two previous DP World Tour titles.

The Englishman made huge strides with his putter in the second half of 2024, an area of his game that often let him down, and that confidence with the flat stick makes him a dangerous competitor.

Rai's sole outing of 2025 resulted in a top-15 finish and given the fact he was tied-sixth here on debut in 2022, there looks to be every chance he can get in the mix this week.

With a potential spot in Europe’s Ryder Cup team on offer for Rai, he will be hoping to continue his positive start to the year and put himself into European captain Luke Donald’s consideration with a victory.

Stephan Jaeger to win and each-way - 45/1

Having made a name for himself with six Korn Ferry Tour wins, Stephan Jaeger made his mark on the PGA Tour when winning the 2024 Houston Open in March.

The 35-year-old has settled nicely on the US circuit and after shaking off the cobwebs with a T36 at the Sentry on his first outing of 2025, he grabbed a share of third at the Sony Open in Hawaii.

Jaeger will be hoping to keep that form going at an event he was tied-third at last year, finishing two strokes behind winner Matthieu Pavon.

As mentioned, this is a Ryder Cup year and the German will be eager to get his name into Donald’s mind early and there would be no better way than to land the victory at Torrey Pines.
