We&#8217;ll start seeing the world&#8217;s best golfers week-in and week-out moving forward, and nine of the top 21 and 27 of the top 60 have made the trip to La Jolla, California, this week. The schedule is a bit wonky this week, with the Tour wisely moving the event into the Wednesday-Saturday window instead of competing with the NFL during Conference Championship Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week, the field will split the first two days between the North and South courses, with the final two rounds of golf being played on one of the Tour&#8217;s toughest tracks, the aforementioned South Course. After keeping some of the tee boxes and adjustments from the 2021 U.S. Open, it&#8217;s now the longest track on the Tour. It features thick, penial rough, narrow fairways and small Poa Annua greens, which are notoriously difficult to putt on, especially late in the day. Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln? Course history matters here as well, as 16 of the last 18 winners of the Farmers Insurance Open have had a top-10 at this event prior to their win.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Farmers Open Betting Preview: Diving into the Data to Find Best Bets\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/upcNZHX0l8k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>For more course details, check out&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/PGASplits101\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ron&#8217;s<\/a>&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/betspertsgolf.com\/golf-betting\/farmers-insurance-open-at-torrey-pines-2024-preview\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">course preview<\/a>. It&#8217;s the best in the business, bar none. Here&#8217;s an important tidbit about the unique setup this week:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Enormous length, narrow fairways, deep rough, criminally tough greens on which to putt. These are just a few of the ways to describe the South Course. While mostly flat, at 7,765 yards, Torrey Pines is a monster and the longest on Tour. Winds off the coast can also severely hamper a round.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Over the past five years, it&#8217;s also played as the ninth-toughest course at 0.55 strokes over par. Almost every metric is tougher here. From scrambling to fairways hit to GIR % \u2013 all are significantly lower here than the average PGA Tour course.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Since most players will be in the rough plenty of times this week, it only makes sense that those who drive the ball farthest will have shorter iron shots and a better chance of holding the green. It is much easier for a &#8220;bomber&#8221; to hit a higher-lofted iron out of deep rough. Four of the past 11 winners ranked first or second for the week in Driving Distance. Furthermore, with only 1.6% of tee shots going out of bounds and zero water hazards, the bigger hitters have complete freedom to bomb away.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We have partnered with&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vividpicks.com\/promo\/betspertsgolf\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vivid Picks<\/a>&nbsp;to bring you an easy way to claim a FREE, no-strings-attached 2024 season at Betsperts Golf, plus a 100% deposit match up to $250!
