With Scottie Scheffler taking a breather after his 20th win on Tour<\/a>,<\/a> Xander Schauffele enters the third tournament of the PGA Tour season as the prohibitive favorite to win this week\u2019s Farmers Insurance Open.<\/p>\n

Schauffele might be attractive to bettors given the fact he\u2019s a San Diego native with high familiarity with the course. But a closer look reveals that a tie for second in 2021 and a tie for ninth in 2024 are his only two top-10 finishes in nine starts at Torrey Pines. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an exact look at what oddsmakers think of Schauffele\u2019s chances to breakthrough in front of the home crowd and who might be playing spoiler this weekend <\/a>in San Diego.<\/p>\n

Farmers Insurance Open odds (as of Wednesday, courtesy of DraftKings):Xander Schauffele (+1475)Ludvig \u00c5berg (+1700)Cameron Young (+1950)Patrick Cantlay (+2350)Chris Gotterup (+2600)Si Woo Kim (+2700)J.J Spaun (+2800)Hideki Matsuyama (+3000)Maverick McNealy (+3200)Jason Day (+3300)Harris English (+2500)Taylor Pendrith (+3700)Keegan Bradley (+3700) Jake Knapp (+3700)<\/p>\n

Oddsmakers have a rare challenge this week with Brooks Koepka, who is returning to the PGA Tour after a several-year hiatus playing on the rival LIV Tour. Will the five-time major winner make the cut at Torrey Pines? Here\u2019s what DraftKings has to say.<\/p>\n

Farmers Insurance Open 2026 winner prediction<\/p>\n

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: Jake Knapp. <\/p>\n

The UCLA product is a player drawing a minimal amount of attention with the 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

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

Farmers Insurance Open 2026 best bet<\/p>\n

With Justin Rose set to tee off at Torrey Pines\u2019 South Course Thursday, the best bet recommendation for this week is Rose to finish top 20 at +200 (ties included).<\/p>\n

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

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

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

While Rose missed the cut last week at the American Express, it wasn\u2019t for a lack of trying. <\/p>\n

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

His 63 on the Nicklaus Tournament Course a day prior though was impressive, featuring nine birdies. <\/p>\n

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…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":397329,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-397328","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/397328","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=397328"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/397328\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/397329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=397328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=397328"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=397328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
