Lim Sung-jae, Kim Si-woo, Lee Kyung-hoon, and Kim Sung-hyun will participate in the 2025 US Professional Golf Association (PGA) Tour Farmers Insurance Open (total prize money of $9.3 million).
Lim Sung-jae, Kim Si-woo and Lee Kyung-hoon, who were disappointed at last week's American Express competition, are aiming to recover their honor, while Kim Sung-hyun, who finished second after an extended match in the opening round of the PGA Conferry Tour, is set to participate in his first regular tour. The tournament will run for four days from January 23 to 26, and will be held at Torrey Pines CC (par 72, 7655 yards) in San Diego, California.
Torrey Pines CC, where the Farmers Insurance Open will be held, is where "emperor" Tiger Woods won seven titles (1999·2003, 2005-2008, 2013) and is also called "Tiger Woods' winning garden." This year, "defending champion" Mathieu Pavong, former world No. 1 Jason Day, who is aiming for his third win in the tournament, and season opener Hideki Matsuyama are considered the favorites. 메이저사이트
Among the Korean players, Lim Sung-jae, who performed well at the event for the second consecutive year, tied for fourth place in 2022 and sixth place in 2023, is expected to be a strong favorite. The all-time record of the Farmers Insurance Open Koreans so far is the lone second place by Choi Kyung-ju in 2016. One of Kim Si-woo, Lee Kyung-hoon, and Kim Sung-hyun, including Lim Sung-jae, is aiming to win the first Korean competition beyond Choi.
Meanwhile, this is the last competition to qualify for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, the second signature event of the season. As the top five FedEx Cup points from the Sony Open, the American Express, and the Farmers Insurance Open will be given the right to participate in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, a heated competition is expected.
The live broadcast of the 2025 PGA Tour Farmers Insurance Open, which runs from the 23rd to the 26th, will be available on TV channels SPOTV, SPOTV, SPOTV Golf & Health, and sports OTT service SPOTV NOW.
