Justin Rose wins Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, setting a scoring record wire-to-wire

Historic start-to-finish control at Torrey Pines

Justin Rose closed out the Farmers Insurance Open on Sunday, February 1, 2026, completing a wire-to-wire victory at Torrey Pines in San Diego and setting a new tournament scoring record. Rose finished 23-under-par 265, edging the previous 72-hole mark set at this event by Tiger Woods in 1999.

The win carried multiple layers of historical significance for the course and the championship. Rose became the first player to lead outright after every round at Torrey Pines since Tommy Bolt in 1955, a span of 71 years. He also recorded his 13th PGA TOUR title and his second Farmers Insurance Open trophy, having previously won the event in 2019.

How the tournament unfolded

Rose built the foundation for his week immediately, opening with a 10-under 62 on Torrey Pines’ North Course. He followed with a 7-under 65 on the South Course, a stretch that positioned him in clear control heading into the weekend.

On the final day, Rose protected a six-shot lead and signed for a 2-under 70 on the South Course. While a large lead can be vulnerable on a layout that has hosted multiple U.S. Opens, Rose’s closing round kept the chasing pack from turning the final nine into a true contest.

Margin, leaderboard pressure, and late movement

Rose ultimately won by seven strokes. The closest finishers were Pierceson Coody, Si Woo Kim, and Ryo Hisatsune, who shared second place. Their presence near the top reflected how lower scoring remained possible even on the South Course, especially for players producing a low final round.

Joel Dahmen, who began the day in second place, slipped back after posting an over-par final round, while other players made notable climbs on Sunday with rounds in the mid-60s.

Key figures from Rose’s victory

• Final score: 23-under 265 (new tournament 72-hole record)
• Winning margin: 7 strokes
• Payout and points: $1.728 million and 500 FedExCup points
• PGA TOUR wins: 13th career TOUR victory

Context within Rose’s career

Rose’s Farmers Insurance Open history now spans two wins at Torrey Pines (2019 and 2026), achieved with different competitive profiles: the earlier title required holding off a tight final-round challenge, while the 2026 edition was defined by sustained separation from the field.

Rose’s week was anchored by early scoring that created a cushion large enough to shift the final round from pursuit to preservation.

For Torrey Pines, the result adds a new record performance to a venue historically associated with demanding major-championship conditions, underscoring how decisive shot-making and putting can still push scoring to historic levels when a player sustains momentum across four days.
