Torrey Pines’ South Course in San Diego is the site for three of the four rounds in this week’s PGA Tour’s Farmers Insurance Open alongside the Pacific Ocean, which will be played Wednesday through Saturday.
The first two rounds of the event will be on the South Course and the North Course at the municipal facility, and the final two rounds will be played on the South after a cut is made. The South was home to Jon Rahm’s U.S. Open victory in 2021 and Tiger Woods’ U.S. Open title in 2008.
The South was designed by the father-son duo of William P. Bell and William F. Bell and opened in 1957. The course has been changed significantly over the years. While the Bells’ routing remains, all greens, tees and bunkers were redesigned by Rees Jones in a 2001 major renovation with later refinements in 2019.
The South ranks No. 4 in California on Golfweek’s Best Courses You Can Play list for public-access layouts, with the North No. 8 on that list. The South also ties for No. 107 on Golfweek’s Best list of classic courses built before 1960 in the U.S.
