The tournament is played on both the North and South courses of Torrey Pines Golf Course in La Jolla, CA.

Volunteers are mainly required Wednesday-Sunday of tournament week, but assistance is needed before and after the tournament.

Please note, there is a minimum of three (3) work shifts/days required (some committees require a four (4) day minimum) in order to be a Volunteer but encourage volunteers to donate more time if possible.

If there is a delay, play may continue on Monday, which will require some volunteers.

Depending on your committee assignment, the average day is 6-8 hours long. Some positions require longer days, particularly Wednesday, Thursday and Friday when the Tournament is played on two courses.

We currently have about 1,100 volunteers that help run the Farmers Insurance Open, but we could always use an extra hand! There is no set number of volunteers required to run the tournament. Volunteers are needed for all the committees. The Marshals committee is the largest and is always looking for additional members.
