The PGA Tour season ramps up this week as we head to historic Torrey Pines Golf Club for the 2022 Farmers Insurance Open.

I personally consider this event the true start of the PGA Tour season as it draws big names, a loaded prize pool, and a difficult test; something many golf fans have been craving.

Torrey Pines Golf Club (South) is a Par 72 measuring 7,569 yards. Golfers will play three rounds on the South Course and one round on the North Course.

The South Course is the far more difficult of the two and features Poa annua greens. The North Course is 7,258 yards and features Bentgrass greens.

The 2022 Farmers Insurance Open field is a full-field event comprised of 156 golfers. The field is very strong and will include Jon Rahm, Dustin Johnson, Xander Schauffele, Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas, Bryson DeChambeau, and Tony Finau.

Jon Rahm $11,200

Using Jon Rahm this week can certainly cause some lineup building difficulties with how limited our options are in the 6K range this week. However, if you are going to pay up for anyone, Rahm is most certainly the guy. The unquestionable best player in the world is returning to a course where he broke through for his first PGA Tour win (2017), and just won a U.S. Open at Torrey Pines last summer. Rahm had a decent week at The American Express but a lot of good putts just didn’t fall for him. He now gets to play a course that favors bombers and uses his preferred putting surface (poa). Playing the best golfer at his favorite course is never a bad idea.

Bryson DeChambeau $9,900:

Despite two missed cuts in his only two starts at The Farmers Insurance Open, I still believe Torrey Pines is a good course fit for Bryson. It is a long and classical golf course, and he’s had plenty of success on similar tracks throughout his career. Growing up in California, Bryson has established himself as one of the best west coast poana putters on Tour, with four of his professional wins coming on the putting surface. He may not have the results at Torrey Pines, but he has had great recent success in California. He had some strong finishes at Riviera Country Club (5th in 2020, 15th in 2019) and finished 4th at the 2020 PGA Championship at TPC Harding Park (San Francisco). Not to be forgotten, DeChambeau was also involved at the 2021 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines before collapsing down the stretch.

Bryson has the distance off of the tee and underrated short game and putting to tame Torrey Pines.

Matthew Wolff $8,500:

It’s no secret that the 22-year-old is extremely volatile, and with volatile players come missed cuts. However, I also believe there is a good deal of win equity in Wolff. He has proven in strong fields that he can compete with the best in the world and rise to the occasion.

While missed cuts are often a sign of a golfer being in poor form, the same rules haven’t necessarily applied to Wolff throughout the early stages of his career. In 2019, the former Oklahoma State standout missed the cut at the Rocket Mortgage Classic and went on to earn his first PGA Tour victory the following week at the 3M Open. Similarly in 2020, Wolff missed the cut at the Travelers Championship, and responded the next week by coming in second place at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

I love stacking Wolff with DeChambeau due to how they’ve correlated on leaderboards the past few seasons.

Francesco Molinari $7,500:

Less than two years ago, Francesco Molinari was widely regarded as one of the best golfers on the planet. Since then, the Italian has been on a steep downward trajectory. Since his collapse on the back nine at Augusta, he has only four top ten’s on the PGA Tour. Perhaps not coincidentally, all four of those top ten’s have taken place in the state of California.

Last season, Molinari had a brief span of a month when he was playing great golf akin to the Molinari of 2019. That stretch started at The American Express and ended at The Genesis. Three of the four events in that span ended with a top ten (8,10,8). After finishing in sixth place last week at The American Express, it would seem that history may be repeating itself. The 39-year-old finished in sixth place and looked exceptional doing it. He gained 4.7 strokes from tee to green in the two measured rounds at PGA West Stadium Course, including 2.2 on approach.

J.T. Poston $6,400:

Poston quietly had a solid week last week at PGA West, finishing 25th at the American Express. After a disastrous 2021, the 28-year-old has strung together a few decent performances in 2022. Additionally, Poston has made the cut in his past four starts at Torrey Pines, including an 18th place finish in 2021. I don’t advocate dipping much into the 6K range this week but I believe he has a shot to play well this week.
