California : A strong field featuring three of the top four golfers in the Golfweek/Sagarin world rankings is in La Jolla, California, this week for the Farmers Insurance Open. Marc Leishman is back at Torrey Pines Golf Course to defend his 2020 title and Si Woo Kim looks to go back-to-back after winning last week’s American Express. Below, we look at the fantasy golf power rankings and betting odds for the top 30 golfers at the 2021 Farmers Insurance Open.
The Farmers Insurance Open will be split between the North and South Courses at Torrey Pines. The South Course, exclusively, will host the 2021 U.S. Open from June 17-20.
Makes his 2021 debut after last finishing T-17 at the Mayakoba Golf Classic in early December. He hasn’t played this event since 2018, but he’s an excellent iron player and can keep it out of the thick rough off the tee.
His T-8 finish last week was his first top-10 showing since 2019. He played just seven events last year with five missed cuts, including this event. His iron play was back in top form with 1.33 Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green per round last week.
Three top-10 finishes in this event in his last six appearances. Rebounded from a missed cut in 2019 to tie for 16th last year.
Missed the cut last week but led the field with 1.94 SG: Off-the-Tee per round over his 36 holes. Tied for ninth in 2019.
Was in and around the lead for much of the week last week until a final round of 4-over 76. He had just one birdie against four bogeys Sunday, but he still averaged 0.82 SG: Putting for the week.
Withdrew last week while citing a back injury but will return to the field at an event he won in 2017 and finished as the runner-up last year. He’s third in the Golfweek rankings, second in the OWGR and is the prohibitive pre-tournament betting favorite.
