Dominance Meets Precision: How Justin Rose Won the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open

If you turned on the final round of the Farmers Insurance Open expecting suspense, you might have clipped in your belt a few minutes too late. Because by the time Sunday rolled around at Torrey Pines (South) — one of golf’s most demanding venues — Justin Rose had already spent three days quietly yet relentlessly building something remarkable.

Rose didn’t just lead after a round or two; he boat raced the field from start to finish — the elusive wire-to-wire victory — something not seen in this event since 1955. From the first tee shot Thursday morning, it was clear that Rose’s game was in rare form. He opened with a sizzling 10-under-par 62 on Torrey’s easier North Course, immediately separating himself from a strong field and setting the tone for the week. What followed was a model of consistency: steady ball striking, disciplined course management and few self-inflicted wounds. By Sunday, Rose’s cumulative score of 23-under par was not just good — it beat the tournament scoring record previously held by none other than the GOAT, Tiger Woods.

To win at Torrey Pines, you need more than a hot putter and good wind reads. You need a strategy, patience and the ability to absorb pressure without letting it fuzz your focus. Rose had all three in abundance. He cruised to a final round 2-under 70.

All afternoon, he looked comfortable, he played under control, and no one came close to putting pressure on him. He knew he would win. The question was just by how much.

And the numbers bear out how complete his week on the links was. For his wire-to-wire victory, Rose walked off the 18th green with a $1,728,000 winner’s check, part of the $9.6 million purse for the event.

Even in a week defined by one of the most commanding performances you’ll see on the PGA Tour this season, there were still several players who made Sunday entertaining in their own right.

Tied for second at 16-under par were Pierceson Coody, Si Woo Kim and Ryo Hisatsune — each producing solid final rounds to cement top finishes in a deep field. Coody drove the ball well all week and made key up-and-down saves when Torrey Pines tightened its grip. Kim blended tee-to-green firepower with an improved feel around the greens. Hisatsune showed patience and poise in the final group, calmly navigating the challenging layout and earning himself a career week.

Further down the leaderboard, Jake Knapp and Stephan Jaeger mixed strong ball-striking with timely birdies to finish inside the top five. They finished hot which ensured they both finished T-5.

There wasn’t a single dramatic Sunday duel for the title, but the leaderboard was certainly full of quality golf and encouraging signs from rising talents.

What happened to our favorite Full Swing (and UDUB) star? 

Heading into the final round, Joel Dahmen was in solo second place — six shots behind Rose. For fans of Dahmen’s approachable personality and gritty play, it was one of those “this could be a really fun Sunday” moments. And in a sense, it was — just not in the way he and his fans had hoped.

Sunday proved a tougher test for Dahmen than for Rose. Playing alongside the leader can be as much a mental challenge as a physical one, and Dahmen’s final round came in at 1-over par 73. It wasn’t a collapse, but it was close to one. He was the only player who finished in the top 30 to shoot over par for the day. Thanks to a pedestrian effort on the greens, he limped in and posted a T-7 finish. He probably would have taken that finish before he teed off on Thursday, but certainly was disappointed walking off the 18th on Sunday.

Still, this was far from a disappointing week. Dahmen’s overall performance at Torrey Pines was strong enough to earn him a $301,600 paycheck — a nice premium for a finish inside the top ten and a helpful cushion of FedExCup points that will serve him well into the season.

In golf, especially at a venue as demanding as Torrey Pines, the difference between a solo second and seventh can be thin — a few inches on a vital putt here, a slightly wayward tee shot there. Dahmen’s week was a reminder that even in defeat, sharp golf and a positive attitude can still pay dividends.

At the end of four days of championship golf, what stands out most about the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open isn’t just the score Rose posted, but the way he did it. There were no last-hole fireworks, no sudden leaderboard jolts. There was instead a masterful blend of strategic brilliance, course management and composure that allowed a seasoned veteran to seize his moment with authority. And while Rose’s payday will rightfully grab headlines, moments from Sunday — from Coody’s ascent to Dahmen’s plight — will linger in conversations long after the checks are cashed.

Winners & Losers from Sunday at Torrey:

Winner: Rose. It’s not easy to tee off with a commanding lead on Sunday and not leak a little gas—and consistency—coming in. Rose delivered a rock-steady final 70 and mostly cruised to a 7-stroke victory.

Loser: Buckets Dahmen. We were really rooting for Dahmen to finish strong on the back nine with the hope for a Top 3 finish. No such luck. He only made one consequential putt in his last 12 holes, and even that putt was from inside 10 feet. Had he made only two more putts on Sunday, he would have pocketed an additional $300-400k. There’s a lesson in there kids…practice your putting early and often to rake in the $$$.

Winner: Jake Knapp. The sinewy, smooth swinging So Cal ex-bouncer closed out the tournament with three straight birdies to finish T-5. Now that’s how you finish a tourney if your goal is to head off to the next event bursting with confidence.

Loser: Cam Davis. The tall Aussie posted a final round 7-over 79. He dropped 35 spots on the leaderboard, finishing up with the worst score for the day by 3 strokes. Ouch.

Winner: Pierceson Coody. He bested by Cam Davis by 14 strokes, posting a Sunday best 7-under 65. That is a remarkable score on Torrey South. No matter how perfect the conditions were, which yesterday were idyllic for scoring, a Sunday best 65 placed Coody into the top 1% of finest final rounds ever posted at Torrey. For his efforts, he netted a T-2 finish and is on pace to earn a spot in the next two Signature events.
