The PGA Tour’s yearly tournament at Torrey Pines will become part of the new Championship Series when the circuit introduces its redesigned competitive structure in 2028.
The San Diego-area event will be known as The Sentry beginning in 2027 under a new title sponsorship agreement. The first edition under that name is scheduled for Jan. 27-30, 2027.
The Championship Series is expected to feature 23 or 24 events for the tour’s leading players between February and August. The schedule will include the four major championships, The Players Championship, a redesigned postseason and the Ryder Cup or Presidents Cup.
The Sentry joins the Travelers Championship and a new Sompo-sponsored tournament as regular-season events already confirmed for the Championship Series. The remaining tournaments and complete 2028 schedule will be announced later.
A Challenger Series with at least 20 events will run concurrently with the Championship Series. Players can move between the two levels through a promotion-and-relegation system.
The tournament began as the San Diego Open in 1952 and has been held at Torrey Pines since 1968. It was called the Farmers Insurance Open from 2010 to 2026.
Torrey Pines has also hosted two U.S. Opens, including Tiger Woods’ playoff victory over Rocco Mediate in 2008.
Englishman Justin Rose won the final Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines on Feb. 1, finishing at a tournament-record 23 under for a seven-shot victory.
