59 Years and Counting: Torrey Pines and the PGA Tour
Every January, the best players in the world return to the cliffs above the Pacific, and they have done it for a long time. Torrey Pines has hosted the Farmers Insurance Open every year since 1968. That is 59 straight years, one of the longest unbroken runs of any course on the PGA Tour.
The Longest-Running Venues on the PGA Tour
Here is how the tour’s longest-running venues stack up by number of events hosted.

A Rare Kind of Staying Power
Very few courses can say they have been a tour stop for generations. Augusta National has hosted the Masters every year since 1934 except for the three war years of 1943 to 1945. Pebble Beach has been home to its Pro-Am for 80 consecutive years. San Diego belongs in that conversation.
Play Where the Pros Play
Torrey Pines also hosted the 2008 U.S. Open, and the South Course is open to golfers year-round. You can book a tee time and walk the same fairways the pros play each winter. Whether you are planning a group trip, a corporate outing or a bucket-list round, the South Course is worth the trip.
