Torrey Pines is a top course which hosted the US Open in 2008 won by Tiger and in 2021 by Jon Rahm. One of the executives for the course and tournament expressed concern about its future with the potential agreement between PGA and LIV. The field for this year is weaker than last, and that trend may continue in the future. On Thursday Nick Dunlap joined the PGA.
