Odds and Predictions for the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open

The 2026 Farmers Insurance Open kicks off this Thursday, featuring an impressive lineup at the Torrey Pines South Course in San Diego. While Scottie Scheffler, fresh off his victory at The American Express, won’t be competing this week, it opens the door for renowned players like Xander Schauffele, Ludvig Aberg, and Patrick Cantlay to battle for the title.

Schauffele is currently the favorite, listed at +1300 in the latest odds from FanDuel Sportsbook. Aberg follows closely at +1700, while Cameron Young comes in at +1900. Cantlay, alongside Si Woo Kim, Jason Day, J.J. Spaun, and Hideki Matsuyama, all share a position at +2500. Moreover, Brooks Koepka will make his return to the PGA Tour, boasting +5000 odds.

Prior to finalizing any selections for the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open or making DFS choices on platforms like FanDuel or DraftKings, don’t forget to check the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the established model.

This model, expertly constructed by DFS expert Mike McClure, has been exceptionally successful since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020, netting over $8,000 on its betting picks

Among its remarkable track record, the model has successfully predicted outcomes in 16 majors. For example, it accurately called the 2025 Masters—its fourth consecutive Masters, plus this year’s PGA Championship and Open Championship. Therefore, anyone who has relied on its betting advice has likely seen significant returns.

Surprising Predictions

One unexpected prediction made by the model is that Si Woo Kim, considered one of the favorites, will falter and drop out of the top 5. Despite starting strong this season with a T11 finish at the Sony Open and T6 at The American Express, Kim struggles at this event, having no top-10 finishes in eight attempts and missing the cut twice recently.

Another surprise: the model ranks Patrick Cantlay among the top two contenders, even with longer odds at +2500. After finishing T13 at The American Express with four rounds under 70, he may deliver a more consistent showing this year after a respectable first-round score of 65 at Torrey Pines last season.

With the field finalized for the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open, the model has conducted 10,000 simulations, leading to some unexpected outcomes. For further insights into these results, check out SportsLine now.
