This week, the PGA Tour presents Draftkings golf fans with the 2025 Farmers Insurance Open. Let’s take a look at this week’s event from a DFS perspective.

Before I dive into my Draftkings player selections for this tournament let’s review the golf courses the field will play and the key player statistics that I think are the most vital to a golfer’s success at this week’s 2025 Farmers Insurance Open.


Where will the 2025 Farmers Insurance Open be played?

The 2025 Farmers Insurance Open will be played at Torrey Pines in San Diego, California. DFS players should be mindful of the fact that this event will be played on two different golf courses, the Torrey Pines North and South courses.

The entire field of 156 golfers will play both courses in the first two rounds of the tournament on Wednesday and Thursday. Upon completion of the second round of play on Thursday afternoon, a cut will take place. The remaining 65 players and ties will play the remainder of the golf tournament (third and fourth rounds) on the South course.

I wanted to emphasize that the purpose of this article is not to provide an exact DFS lineup.

Having stated that, this article will provide multiple player options in an effort to assist the reader in generating a unique lineup that will hopefully have the potential to win a DraftKings GPP (guaranteed prize pool) contest!

2025 Farmers Insurance Open Draftkings Picks

Jason Day $9,300

The talented Australian has compiled two top eight finishes in his last three tournaments played (PGA and DP World Tour events combined), including an eighth-place result at the 2024 BMW Australian PGA Championship last month.

Jason Day certainly checks the box for me when it comes to previous event/course history. Let me be more specific. Since 2014, Jason Day has played the Farmers Insurance Open 11 times. In those 11 tournaments just mentioned, Day compiled seven top 16 finishes, including a win at the 2018 Farmers Insurance Open.

In summary, I fully expect Jason Day to continue his outstanding play at this week’s 2025 Farmers Insurance Open.

Beau Hossler $8,000

Beau Hossler arrives at this week’s PGA Tour event on the heels of two consecutive top 20 finishes, including a 12th place result at last week’s 2025 American Express.

Additionally, Beau Hossler finished sixth at the 2024 Farmers Insurance Open.

Ben Griffin $8,100

Since the beginning of October, Ben Griffin has played eight tournaments on the PGA Tour, in those eight events just noted, Griffin tallied six top 25 finishes, including a seventh-place result at the 2025 American Express.

Due to Ben Griffin’s quality finish at the 2025 American Express I decided to take a hard look at the relevant player statistics for the event to determine how Griffin fared relative to the field.

Upon the completion of four rounds of competitive play at the 2025 American Express, in relation to the field, Ben Griffin ranked first in GIR (greens in regulation-83.3%), 15th in total birdies made (21) and second in bogey avoidance (2).

Daniel Berger $7,600

Daniel Berger has compiled two top 21 finishes in his last three events played on the PGA Tour, including a second-place result at the 2024 RSM Classic in November.

Additional golfers I like to perform well this week (Draftkings price noted): Ludvig Aberg $10,800: Hideki Matsuyama $10,700: Will Zalatoris $9,500: J.J. Spaun $7,900: Mark Hubbard $7,800.
