• Notes: Tiger Woods makes his 2017 debut at the tournament he has won eight times, most recently in 2013 ... Also making a debut is the North Course that Tom Weiskopf renovated. The nines have been reversed, bunkers reduced and the size of the greens have been expanded ... Since his last victory at Torrey Pines, Woods has missed the 54-hole cut (2014) and withdrew after 11 holes with tightness in his back ... This is the first time Jason Day is competing against a full field since the Deutsche Bank Championsh­ip in early September ... The tournament last year finished on a Monday (wind) for the second time in four years ... Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler entered the tournament. Both were in Abu Dhabi last week ... Bubba Watson (2011) is the only past champion at the Farmers Insurance Open who is not playing this year. That doesn’t include those on the PGA Tour Champions ... Justin Rose, who missed the cut at Torrey in 2015 and 2016, is playing for the third straight year.
