US PGA Tour
Torrey Pines Golf Course
La Jolla, San Diego, California, USA
26-29 January 2022
March Leishman will be determined to win the Farmers Insurance Open for the second time when he tees off at Torrey Pines Golf Course.
Placed 34th in the Official World Golf Rankings, Leishman is among the few non-American golfers who have won the Farmers Insurance Open.
Leishman, who has been a professional golfer since 2005, won this tournament in January 2020 and it was his fifth
PGA Tour title.

The Virginia, USA-based golfer shot a final round 65 to come from behind and defeat current world number one Jon Rahm by one stroke at Torrey Pines Golf Course.
Leishman, who became the first Australian to win the PGA Rookie of the Yeard award in 2009, then clinched the Zurich Classic of New Orleans in April 2021.
The 38-year-old was partnered with countryman Cameron Smith as the duo won in a playoff over South Africa's Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel.
In September 2017, Leishman won the BMW Championship which is the penultimate FedEx Cup playoff event on the PGA Tour schedule.

When asked whether golfers should think about golf balls from the green backwards, or from the tee forward, Leishman said, “I’m always from the green and then back to the tee.
“If I have a 30, 40, 50-yard shot and I can’t spin it a lot or stop it on a dime, I go to the next ball. “I make most of my money around the greens.
"If I can’t get up and down, I can’t win tournaments. I’m not going to sacrifice that.”
Tiger Woods is the most successful golfer in the history of the Farmers Insurance Open having won the tournament a record seven times.
