Will the five-time major winner make the cut at Torrey Pines? Here\u2019s what DraftKings has to say.<\/p>\n<p>Farmers Insurance Open 2026 winner prediction<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s tempting to go with someone with ties to the area like Schauffele or Spaun or play the hot hand in Day (coming off a T-2 at the American Express last weekend), the pick is going to be the last name on the list: <b>Jake Knapp. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>The UCLA product is a player drawing a minimal amount of attention with the <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.golfchannel.com\/pga-tour\/news\/contrite-brooks-koepka-nervous-about-fan-reception-but-excited-for-thursday-at-farmers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brooks Koepka circus in town and on full display<\/a>. Moreover, Knapp is coming off a T-11 at the Sony Open two weeks ago and enters the Farmers with a week of rest in between the tournaments.<\/p>\n<p>He also finished T-3 at Torrey Pines in 2024 (his first year on tour). He also made the cut a year ago but failed to flourish during the weekend finishing 32nd overall. <\/p>\n<p>Farmers Insurance Open 2026 best bet<\/p>\n<p>With Justin Rose set to tee off at Torrey Pines\u2019 South Course Thursday, the best bet recommendation for this week is <b>Rose to finish top 20 at +200<\/b> (ties included).<\/p>\n<p>The 2019 Farmers Insurance Open winner consistently competes well on the South Course, finishing T-6 and T-18 in 2022 and 2023, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>This makes for the first-round leader prop bet at +3600 an attractive option, too, if you want to take the weekend out of the picture frame.<\/p>\n<p>    <a class=\"Link\" aria-label=\"Farmers Insurance Open 2026: Round 1 tee times, how to watch Brooks Koepka and field on Golf Channel\" href=\"https:\/\/www.golfchannel.com\/pga-tour\/news\/farmers-insurance-open-2026-round-1-tee-times-how-to-watch-brooks-koepka-and-field\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"Image\" alt=\"Farmers Insurance Open 2026 - Previews\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1769715141_466_.jpeg\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a look at tee times for the first round of the Farmers Insurance Open as well as how to watch on Golf Channel.<\/p>\n<p>While Rose missed the cut last week at the American Express, it wasn\u2019t for a lack of trying. <\/p>\n<p>Toward the end of his third round at the Pete Dye Stadium Course, the No. 10-ranked player in the world attempted a few aggressive swings to keep up with the ultra low-scoring knowing he was facing a cutline double digits under par. He wound up with a costly double bogey on 17 and finished 1 over par on the round. <\/p>\n<p>His 63 on the Nicklaus Tournament Course a day prior though was impressive, featuring nine birdies. <\/p>\n<p>Rose enters this week with an extra day of rest and plenty of course history in his favor. Don\u2019t overthink it, take the generous number.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With Scottie Scheffler taking a breather after his 20th win on Tour, Xander Schauffele enters the third tournament&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":729229,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4106],"tags":[2826,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-729228","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-golf","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115980058775478238","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/729228","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=729228"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/729228\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/729229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=729228"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=729228"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=729228"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
