The 2026 Farmers Insurance Open begins Thursday with a strong field headed to the Torrey Pines South Course in San Diego. Scottie Scheffler, who won his 2026 season debut at The American Express, isn’t playing this week, opening up the field a bit for big names such as Xander Schueffele, Ludvig Aberg and Patrick Cantlay. Schauffele is the +1300 favorite in the latest 2026 Farmers Insurance Open odds from FanDuel Sportsbook.
Aberg is close behind at +1700, with Cameron Young at +1900 and Cantlay at +2200. Defending champion Harris English is +3500, while Brooks Koepka is +4500 as he makes his PGA Tour return after recently leaving LIV Golf. Before locking in any 2026 Farmers Insurance Open 2026 picks, or making any PGA DFS picks on sites like FanDuel or DraftKings, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
SportsLine’s proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. In fact, the model is up over $8,000 on its golf betting picks since that point, nailing tournament after tournament.
This same model has also nailed a whopping 16 majors entering the weekend, including the 2025 Masters — its fourth Masters in a row — as well as this year’s PGA Championship and Open Championship. Anyone who has followed its sports betting picks could have seen massive returns on betting sites.

2026 Farmers Insurance Open predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the Farmers Insurance Open 2026: Si Woo Kim, who is +2500, stumbles and falls well out of the top 5. He’s a golfer to fade this week. Kim is off to a hot start this season with a T11 at the Sony Open and a T6 at The American Express last week. He was in the final group on Sunday before before a fourth-round 72. This event has been a struggle for Kim, however, as he has no top-10 finishes in eight tries and has missed the cut twice in his last appearances at this tournament. See who else to fade here.
Another surprise: The model calls Cantlay a top-two contender this week. He’s a golfer to target if you’re looking for a big return. He finished T13 at The American Express with four sub-70 rounds. The California native doesn’t have a great track record at this event, but he did shoot a first-round 65 last year at Torrey Pines before struggling over the weekend. The model is projecting a more consistent effort for him this year and has him as one of its top 2026 Farmers Insurance Open contenders. See who else to pick here.
