The PGA Tour stops at Torrey Pines Golf Course in La Jolla, California for the 2024 Farmers Insurance Open this week. It’s another stop on the West Coast Swing and the last stop before the second signature event of the year. Below, we’ll uncover the history behind the Farmers Insurance Open, along with the past winners and notable results from previous tournaments.
Farmers Insurance Open History
The Farmers Insurance Open was founded in 1952 as the San Diego Open. In its 70-year history, the tournament has undergone a few sponsorship changes. It was moved to Torrey Pines in 1968 and renamed the Andy Williams San Diego Open.
The tournament is also one of the few events on the Tour that have been moved forward. Instead of the traditional Thursday start, the Farmers Insurance Open runs Wednesday to Saturday to avoid any competition with the NFL Conference Championship Games.
Despite being an integral stop on the West Coast Swing, Farmers Insurance won’t be renewing its contract in 2026, leaving it open for a new sponsor and name change shortly.
Farmers Insurance Open Past Winners & Results
The Torrey Pines course is one of the most the Tour’s favorite places to play. The Farmers Insurance was the first tournament that Tom Weiskopf ever won. Tiger Woods famously won the event seven times and he’s won eight times at Torrey Pines, including the 2008 U.S. Open.
Other memorable winners at the Farmers Insurance Open include Phil Mickelson, Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson, and more. Woods is the most prolific winner at the event with seven victories over his career while Mickelson comes in a distant second with three wins.
