Farmers Insurance Open 2017: Tee times and pairings for Friday

The Farmers Insurance Open is the unofficial start of the PGA Tour season. Sure, for the close watchers of the Tour and golf, there’s never really a start or a stop. But for the wider audience, Torrey Pines is usually where the game pops up on the map.

That wider attention is due to Tiger Woods, who is back at Torrey this year following a lost 2016 season. Woods is synonymous with Torrey Pines, winning on the La Jolla course eight times in his career — seven times at this event and one U.S. Open, his last major championship back in 2008. His appearance this year took an added weight given that it comes after a 500-plus day layoff from the PGA Tour. It made one of the early season’s bigger events that much more of a show, especially in these first two rounds.

Tiger didn’t exactly get the easiest draw to come back from that long layoff. The first two rounds at Torrey are split between the South Course and the North Course. That allows the PGA Tour to put a full field out there and easily get them through the pre-cut 36-holes during a time of year when daylight is limited. While the South Course gets a lot of the pub, the North Course is no slouch and definitely worthy of hosting a PGA Tour round of golf. The South, however, is unquestionably harder, playing almost three strokes tougher in the first round, which is right in line with the historic data during this two-course split.

Tiger showed up on a South Course that’s been soaked by rain, making the rough that much deeper and gnarlier. They aren’t able to cut it when it’s drenched and Torrey generally has higher rough than most regular PGA Tour stops. So Woods wasn’t playing some pitch and putt in his first round back, and his late tee time also left him with those late-in-the-day unpredictable and bumpy poa annua greens.

On Friday, Tiger will get the easier North Course, which now has bent grass greens after a $12 million renovation. Tiger putts better on poa annua maybe more than anyone in history, but he’ll almost always take bent grass as the preferable surface for scoring conditions. So an easier course on greens he prefers should give him hope of making the cut, which will be the goal after sitting in 133rd place at 4-over. Woods will begin that attempt at 12:30 p.m. ET alongside Dustin Johnson and Jason Day. It’s the marquee group of the tournament and they will be shown on PGA Tour Live’s featured groups stream.
