2023 Farmers Insurance Open

US PGA Tour

Torrey Pines Golf Course
San Diego, California, USA 
25-28 January 2023

The 2023 Farmers Insurance Open will take place at the Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego, California, USA between 25 and 28 January.

The event was established in 1952 as the San Diego Open and it is noted for having singer-actor Andy Williams as a celebrity host from 1968 through 1988.

Even though the San Diego Open started in 1952, the PGA Tour acknowledges two earlier tournaments of the same name; Leo Diegel won both events, in December 1927 and January 1929.
