2026 Farmers Insurance Open: Predictions and Expert Insights as Brooks Koepka Makes His PGA Tour Comeback

Brooks Koepka returns to the PGA Tour for the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open as major players in the golf world gather in San Diego.

The Farmers Insurance Open is back, drawing 147 golfers to the picturesque Torrey Pines course as 10 of the top 20 players in the Official World Golf Rankings look to clinch early-season titles. Notably absent from this elite group is Brooks Koepka, marking his debut in the PGA Tour following his stint with LIV Golf since 2022.

Through the Returning Member Program, Koepka has committed to a full tournament schedule while being excluded from signature events, aiming to reclaim his competitive edge as he also prepares for further competitions like the WM Phoenix Open and the Cognizant Classic. In this field, players like Xander Schauffele and Cameron Young are also set to re-enter competition, having experienced contrasting fortunes last season.

The early season is laden with potential as champions like Harris English, Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley, J.J. Spaun, and emerging talents like Ludvig Åberg and Chris Gotterup aim to make their mark.
