2024 Farmers Insurance Open Overview
As a consequence of their name-brand status, we have some familiar offshore betting names atop the board. Patrick Cantlay, Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele, Max Homa, and Tony Finau are popular brands with the golf betting public.
Of course, Torrey Pines is not the most glamorous course on TOUR from an architectural standpoint. Specifically, it is a simplistic and linear design. The identity of the course is its length. Still, it has not been a pure bomber’s paradise, as evidenced by wins from recent shorter hitters like Patrick Reed, Marc Leishman, and Brandt Snedeker. Despite these exceptions, distance has continued to prove favorable year over year.
