Defending champion Max Homa headlines a list of seven former tournament champions who have committed to play in the 2024 Farmers Insurance Open, the Century Club of San Diego announced.
Homa is ranked seventh in the Official World Golf Ranking. Last January, he secured a two-stroke victory at Torrey Pines Golf Course for his sixth PGA Tour title, and he will be joined in the Farmers Insurance Open field this year by 2022 champion Luke List and 2019 champion Justin Rose as well as past event champions Jason Day (2015, 2018), Brandt Snedeker (2016, 2012), Scott Stallings (2014) and Nick Watney (2009).
The current field also includes six major championship winners: Hideki Matsuyama (2021 Masters), Shane Lowry (2019 Open Championship), Francesco Molinari (2018 Open Championship), Day (2015 PGA Championship), Rose (2013 U.S. Open) and Stewart Cink (2009 Open Championship).
San Diego natives in the field include Poway’s Charley Hoffman and tournament exemption Cameron Sisk, who attended Valhalla High School in El Cajon before playing golf at Arizona State and turning pro in 2022.
The field will not be finalized until Friday, Jan. 19 shortly after the conclusion of play in that week’s PGA Tour event.
The PGA Tour’s West Coast swing makes its annual stop at Torrey Pines Golf Course from Wednesday, Jan. 24 through Saturday, Jan. 27, featuring the Tour’s only scheduled Saturday finish for the third straight year.
Grounds tickets and passes to shared hospitality venues, such as the Canyon Club overlooking the 17th and eighth greens and the newly upgraded Ultra Pass presented by Michelob Ultra at the ninth tee, can be purchased at FarmersInsuranceOpen.com.
The tournament’s Championship Days (Rounds 3-4) on Friday, Jan. 26 and Saturday, Jan. 27 will feature late afternoon finishes, with golf being played nearly until sunset and aired on prime-time television on the East Coast.
