    The PGA TOUR’s West Coast Swing continues at the Farmers Insurance Open at historic Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego, California. The scenic coastal venue welcomes the TOUR’s best, with Brooks Koepka set to open his 2026 PGA TOUR season.

    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.
