Justin Rose secured a dominant seven-shot win at the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open, finishing at a record 23-under par at Torrey Pines. The 45-year-old Englishman became the oldest winner at the venue and the first to lead wire-to-wire since 1955. Rose earned $1.728 million from the $9.6 million purse for his 13th PGA Tour title.
Justin Rose delivered a masterful performance at the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open, held at Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego, California. The Englishman, aged 45, opened with a stunning 10-under 62 on the North Course, setting the tone for a wire-to-wire victory. He followed with rounds of 65, 68, and 70, culminating in a total of 23-under 265, surpassing the previous tournament record of 22-under held by Tiger Woods and George Burns.
Rose's lead grew progressively: one shot after Round 1, four after Round 2, six after Round 3, and seven at the finish. This marked his second win at the event, following his 2019 triumph, and elevated him to No. 3 in the world rankings. His iron play was exceptional, gaining nearly seven strokes on approach over the week.
“No one’s beating him this week,” said Joel Dahmen after Round 3, a sentiment that proved accurate. Rose reflected post-win, “Sorry, T-dub, if you’re watching,” acknowledging the record he broke against Woods. He birdied the par-5 sixth, eighth, and ninth on Sunday for a front-nine 33, then parred in despite a bogey on 12.
Si Woo Kim, Ryo Hisatsune, and Pierceson Coody tied for second at 16-under, each earning $726,400. Joel Dahmen and Sahith Theegala shared seventh at 14-under with $301,600. Brooks Koepka, returning from LIV Golf, finished tied for 56th at 4-under.
Rose's victory, his first since the FedEx St. Jude Championship, underscores his enduring competitiveness. “I still believe there's good stuff in front of me,” he said, eyeing majors ahead. The event drew praise for ideal weather and Rose's historic dominance.
