Justin Rose captures his 13th title on the PGA Tour with a second career win at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, and he pinches Tiger Woods’ record in the process.

Rose, 45, fired rounds of 62, 65, 68 and 70 to finish the week on 23-under par and seven shots clear of Si Woo Kim, Ryo Hisatsune and Pierceson Coody.

Rose’s exceptional performance in glorious San Diego sunshine saw him break Tiger Woods’ 72-hole tournament record in the process.

Woods (1999) and George Burns (1987) held the previous tournament record score of 22-under par.

Rose’s win marks the 13th of his PGA Tour career and his second at the Farmers Insurance Open having prevailed by two strokes (21-under par) over Adam Scott in 2019.

The Englishman’s seven-shot win on Sunday marks the tournament’s biggest victory margin since Woods’ eight-shot romp in 2008.

Woods has won a record eight times at Torrey Pines, with seven of those wins at the Farmers Insurance Open and one at the US Open (2008).

It’s also the biggest victory margin of Rose’s professional career on either the PGA Tour or DP World Tour. He won by eight shots at the 2017 Indonesian Masters on the Asian Tour.

Rose scooped a giant $1.728 million for winning the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open.

It was a ball striking clinic all four days from Rose as he ranked first for greens in regulation on 82% (59/72).

After the round, Rose admitted to on-course commentator Gary Christian that he was fully aware of Woods and Burns’ 72-hole record.

“The biggest challenge today was trying to make it feel the same as the last few days,” said Rose on the 18th green.

“Today wasn’t my lowest score but it was a good score, did all the right things, didn’t get myself in trouble.

“Tournament record, 23 under par, so I was aware of that, so just wanted to finish as strongly as I could.”

Rose holds the record for the most PGA Tour wins by an English golfer, with 13 career victories as of February 2026.

He surpassed the previous record of nine, held by Sir Nick Faldo, when winning the 2019 Farmers Insurance Open.

Justin Rose sets multiple records at Farmers Insurance Open

Rose’s latest victory at the Farmers Insurance Open saw him become the oldest wire-to-wire winner on the PGA Tour since a 47-year-old Rocco Mediate won the 2010 Frys Open (now the Procore Championship).

The European Ryder Cup hero also becomes the first player to hold a solo lead in every round and win the Farmers Insurance Open since Tommy Bolt in 1955. Johnny Miller went wire-to-wire in 1982, but he was tied after the first round.

Not even Woods won this event wire-to-wire.

Rose, who also broke the 54-hole scoring record (21-under par) at the Farmers Insurance Open, led by six shots entering the final round.

No lead is ever big enough on the PGA Tour but the 2013 US Open champion rarely looked in danger on Sunday.

Rose opened with five important par saves before surging clear of the chasing pack with three birdies in four holes to the turn, highlighted by a 35-foot bomb on the par-5 9th.

The former World No.1 dropped a shot on the tough par-4 12th but he still led comfortably by seven shots at that stage.

Rose kept his composure from there with consecutive pars as he cruised serenely to a deserved seven-shot victory on a record 23-under par.
