F or the first time since 2015, Xander Schauffele will not be playing in his hometown event, the 2025 Farmers Insurance Open. The San Diego native's name was not among those liste

Ludvig Åberg shot a 9-under 63 Wednesday in what he calls his favorite place in the world, taking a two-shot lead over Danny Walker and Hayden Springer in the opening round of the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines.

The $9.2 million Farmers Insurance Open is scheduled to begin Wednesday at Torrey Pines Golf Course, short of some of its star power by injury and illness.

The final field for next week’s Farmers Insurance Open was released Friday afternoon, and the tournament at Torrey Pines is missing its biggest draw — native son Xander Schauffele, the world’s No. 2-ranked golfer.

Xander Schauffele will be out more than just one tournament. Schauffele withdrew from this week’s American Express in La Quinta, California, with his manager citing a “medical reason.” Now, Schauffele will miss his first Farmers Insurance Open since making his debut at Torrey Pines in 2016 as a Korn Ferry Tour member.

After it was confirmed a few days ago that Xander Schauffele will miss The American Express, as well as the Farmers Insurance Open, there were immediately rumors about the nature of his injury. His team confirmed that it was a matter of 'medical issues', but they did not want to reveal specifically what it was about.

Justin Thomas played in two PGA Tour events in 2025; however, he will miss the Farmers Insurance Open. The American golfer started the season at The Sentry and tied for T26 place. He also competed in last week's The American Express and was close to a victory but ultimately settled in second place.

The PGA Tour heads to San Diego for the Farmers Insurance Open. A rare Wednesday start on Jan. 22 with three rounds at Torrey Pines South Course and one on the North Course. Golf odds, picks, props and information you can bet on.

Schauffele, who opened 2025 with a T30 at The Sentry, also will miss the second match for his TGL team. After winning the debut match of the league, the New York Golf Club will feature Rickie Fowler, Matt Fitzpatrick and Cameron Young on Tuesday.
