Farmers Insurance Open 2017: Tee times and pairings for Thursday

If the PGA Tour has an unofficial opening day, it’s the Farmers Insurance Open, and there’s no better place to have it than Torrey Pines — a regular PGA stop for more than 60 years.

Tiger Woods is set to make his first official PGA Tour appearance in a year-and-a-half and on a course that he loves. After all, it was this course that Woods won his last major — the 2008 U.S. Open — essentially doing so on one leg. He’s won here eight times, which is more than most players can hope for in an entire career on every course. Quite simply, it’s a place that he has owned and knows well and should be a comfortable spot for him to return to real, competitive PGA Tour golf.

Woods will be in a threesome that includes Dustin Johnson and Jason Day, teeing off Thursday at 1:40 p.m. ET on Torrey’s South Course. That’s not an easy draw for Tiger, as Day and DJ are two of the three or four best drivers and overall players in the world right now. He cannot keep up with them off the tee, and there were no illusions or plans to do so from Tiger, who responded “Hell no!” when asked about trying to bomb it with DJ and Day. This is a strong field but obviously all anyone really wants to watch in the first round is Tiger, making his first official PGA Tour start since August of 2015.

On the other side of the draw is Phil Mickelson, the San Diego local who will play the North Course. The Farmers utilizes Torrey’s full 36 holes for the first two rounds before moving everything over to the South Course for the weekend. It helps push a full field through 36 holes during limited daylight months with a nice cushion. Mickelson will tee off at 12:40 p.m. ET with Rickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker.
