The full purse is divided amongst 90 finishers, so everyone can come away with a little bit of money. Right now, Chun An Yun is the top golfer after one round, as he finished eight under and is currently in line for $1.6 million.

Right behind him is Patrick Cantlay, who is seven strokes under par and could easily make a run to the top of the leaderboard. Ryo Hisatsune is also seven under and tied with Cantlay.

Patrick Cantlay is up for the Farmers Insurance Open lead

Collin Morikawa (five under), Shane Lowry (six under), Justin Rose (three under), and Xander Schauffele (three under) are players to watch as they could contend for a big piece of the $9 million prize purse.

Schauffele was the betting favorite going into the matchup, so he's expected to make a run towards that $1.6 million winnings. Some players withdrew, like Nick Dunlap and Justin Thomas, but the field is very strong and plenty of golfers will be in contention for the ultimate prize.
