5 golfers who could win the 2024 Farmers Insurance Open

1. Stephan Jaeger

Even if Jaeger is leading right now, he is still not in a strong enough position to capture the first-ever PGA Tour championship. He is still the favourite to win the trophy at Torrey Pines, though, and his odds are +300.

2) Nicolai Hojgaard

Nicolai Hojgaard is +400 to win, according to oddsmakers. Since finishing the previous season with the DP World Tour Championship title and earning a PGA Tour card, he has been playing exceptionally well. In his first tournament as a member of the PGA Tour, he stands a good chance of winning.

3) Matthieu Pavon in 2024 Farmers Insurance Open

It is +600 for Matthieu Pavon to win. At 10-under, he presently shares second place with Hojgaard. On the PGA Tour, the 31-year-old golfer is yet to win.

4) Thomas Detry

At Torrey Pines Golf Club, Thomas Detry is the fourth favourite to win the championship. He is +1400 to win on Saturday, according to FanDuel.

Detry made a double bogey on the last hole, which cost him the opportunity to conclude the Friday round ahead by 54 holes. After three rounds, he is presently in solitary fourth place.

5) Taylor Pendrith

After three rounds, Taylor Pendrith shot a 3-under 69 in an otherwise high-scoring Saturday round, moving up 31 positions to share sixth place.

On the PGA Tour, Pendrith is the seventh favourite to win his maiden championship. In terms of his recent performance, the Canadian golfer missed the cut at the American Express Open despite finishing in the top ten in the Sony Open. But at 8 under, he’s suddenly well-positioned to win this weekend.
