    The PGA TOUR season continues its West Coast Swing at the Farmers Insurance Open, held between Torrey Pines North and South Golf Courses. This Full-Field Event will feature plenty of young talent joined by some of the biggest names in the game all vying for FedExCup points.

    The PGA TOUR uses a standardized system for determining event fields, based on the current season’s Priority Ranking while also including additional exemption and qualifying categories.

    Field sizes can vary by event, as can the number of event-specific exemptions. Fully exempt PGA TOUR members are guaranteed entry into all full-field events, with various conditional categories subject to periodic reshuffles based upon FedExCup Points accrued throughout the season. Categories with "reshuffle" notation indicate that a reshuffle period has occurred.

    Note: An additional year of eligibility was granted to some categories because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
