The Farmers Insurance Open (formerly the Buick Invitational) will return to San Diego where legends like Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson have made golf history. Staged high atop the hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the 2012 tour will span the north and south courses of Torrey Pines' most challenging terrain. The seven day event will kick-off with two days of practice rounds and the Sycuan Resort Pro-Am. The Pro tour will follow with one round played each of four days. The final match will be a showdown of unsurpassed skill and precision, culminating in Sunday's awards ceremony on the 18th hole. There will be lots of action for everyone throughout the week including two additional Pro-Ams and a Boys & Girls Club competition. Golfers, enthusiasts and spectators will join together to marvel at the showmanship of the sport in a coastal setting only San Diego can deliver.
