Despite it being a normal event on the PGA Tour circuit, something is quite different about the 2022 Farmers Insurance Open. The standard tournaments commence with the first round on a Thursday and conclude with the final round on a Sunday.
But this isn’t the case this week. The event begins on a Wednesday that is January 26th and the final round will conclude on Saturday, 29th January. But what is the reason? The reason is Sunday’s Conference Championship games 2022. It is going to be an exciting week for both golf as well as for American Football fans. The shot week at PGA Tour was done to prevent the overlapping with the Conference Championship games on January 30th.
Early Monday reminder: It’s a short week on the PGA Tour, as the Farmers Insurance Open starts Wednesday and ends Saturday, finishing up before Sunday’s NFL conference championship games.
