The PGA Tour sets up shop this week on the coast of San Diego for the 66th edition of the Farmers Insurance Open at historic Torrey Pines Golf Course.
The 156-player field in La Jolla is headlined by 14-time winner Tiger Woods, and defending champion Jon Rahm, who is the odds-on favorite to repeat… and back to back.
World No. 2 Rahm, the highest ranked player in the field, is offered at 7-1. Rickie Fowler (World No. 7), entering off three-straight top 5s (2nd, 1st, 4th), is next at 10-1.
Hideki Matsuyama and Justin Rose, Nos. 5 and 6 in the latest world rankings, respectively, are listed at 14-1. Former World No. 1 Jason Day is at 18-1.
Woods, a seven-time winner here, can be had at 20-1.
Our payoff pick this week is Alex Noren at 66-1. The Swede, with a lofty world ranking of 19 (seventh best in the field), is easily the highest-ranked player offering the greatest payoff.
