2025 PGA Tour and One and Done Pools head to the famous Torrey Pines Course in San Diego, California. This tournament is notable because it has a Wednesday to Saturday schedule, so make sure you get your One and Done picks in a day earlier than normal.
It is also played on the North and South courses over the first two days, with golfers split across them. Then, it heads to the South course for the final two rounds after the cut.

Farmers Insurance Open: Golf One And Done Picks Strategy
The Farmers Insurance Open has a total prize purse of $9,300,000, with $1,674,000 going to 1st place.
That puts it above the last two tournaments (Sony Open and American Express) by about $100,000 in first-place prize amount. It is still well below the Signature Events and Majors in terms of prize amount.
For the third week in a row, we want to balance future value with golfers with relatively high win odds. That’s especially true with two bigger purse events in the next three weeks.
To see where this tournament’s purse ranks in your specific One And Done pool, set up your pool entry in our Golf One And Done Picks product.

Here are some notable highlights for the 2025 Farmers Insurance Open field:
- 156 golfers are in the field. Some of the biggest names are Ludvig Aberg, Jason Day, Tony Finau, Sung-Jae Im, Shane Lowry, and Hideki Matsuyama.
- We have several notable withdrawals. This includes Collin Morikawa, Akshay Bhatia, Nicolai Hojgaard, and Mackenzie Hughes. Note that Scottie Scheffler is not in the field either, as he continues to deal with a hand injury. Xander Schauffele, after withdrawing last week, is also not playing this event in his hometown of San Diego for the first time in a decade.
- Mathieu Pavon was a longshot winner here last year. He’s returning to the field to defend his title.
- Other past champions return. This includes names like Max Homa (2023), Luke List (2022), Justin Rose (2019), and two-time champion Jason Day (2015 and 2018).
- Clear favorites have emerged. Ludvig Aberg and Hideki Matsuyama are our two highest-ranked golfers and the early betting favorites for this year’s event. But do they make sense as optimal golf one-and-done picks this week? We’ll break it all down below.
