Farmers Insurance Open Golf Tips & Predictions
—
Best Bet
The 23-year-old Swede has battled with injuries since bursting onto the scene, but he could get back to winning form at the Farmers Insurance Open.
He won the 2025 Genesis Invitational last February, so he likes playing early in the year, and he could start his 2026 PGA Tour campaign with a victory.
He had to withdraw from the American Express last week due to illness after shooting some solid scores in the first two rounds. We expect him to have recovered, and punters get $18 to enjoy with golf odds this week.

Next Best
It was a big year in 2025 for Cameron Young, who finally scored his maiden PGA Tour win at the Wyndham Championship.
He didn’t beat an overly tough field, but he won by six strokes, and the American, who won the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year in 2021/22, should bring plenty of confidence into 2026. He represented Team USA at the Ryder Cup, and he played well, going 3-1 in four matches.
Our criticism of Young has been his attitude, but with a win under his belt, he should have matured. Punters get $20 for Young to win, which is a good price.

Best Value Bet
We’re prepared to keep backing Adam Scott until he wins, and our golf projections have him winning one tournament this year.
The Australian has had a busy summer, playing on the DP World Tour, and we believe that will do him plenty of good. He’s rock-hard fit for the Farmers Insurance Open, and he tends to play well in late January/early February.
There has been some respect for him at $46, and that price is good enough to include in golf bets.

Best Roughie
It would be a massive story if Brooks Koepka returned to the PGA Tour with a win. He’s that type of player, and the five-time major winner wants to make a statement.
LIV Golf has been stacking up well recently with Patrick Reed winning in Dubai last week, beating the likes of Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood, so we don’t recommend sleeping on the classy LIV players.
Koepka usually only plays well in big tournaments, but this is a big tournament given the cirumstances, so take the $51 odds.

Top 10
Rasmus Hojgaard is a quality European player, and he’s only going to get better with more experience on the PGA Tour.
He’s a proven winner in Europe, and his form since coming to the US has been good, so we’re picking him to record a top 10 finish at a generous $6 price.
He’s typically near the top of the leaderboard after the opening round, and he could battle gamely to record a good finish.
