Add another name to the list of subtractions from the 2025 Farmers Insurance Open.

Akshay Bhatia on Monday withdrew from the event, scheduled to start Wednesday at Torrey Pines in La Jolla, California. Bhatia tied for 32nd in the season-opening The Sentry at Kapalua and was in the United Arab Emirates over the weekend, where he tied for 37th at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic. He said playing that event was on his bucket list.

His spot in the 156-man field in the Farmers will go to fellow lefty Garrick Higgo. Here’s a look so far at the Farmers WDs:

Nicolai Hojgaard out, Hayden Springer in
Collin Morikawa out, Wesley Bryan in
Tyler McCumber out, S.H. Kim in
Mackenzie Hughes out, Pierceson Coody in
Akshay Bhatia out, Garrick Higgo in
Chesson Hadley out, Carl Yuan in

Higgo withdrew from the Korn Ferry Tour’s Bahamas Great Abaco Classic after a first-round 72, which was only four shots off the lead. That event started Sunday and is scheduled to conclude Wednesday, the same day as the first round of the Farmers.

Yuan is also now in the Farmers field but he, too, is in the KFT event in the Bahamas. In his second round Monday he had two eagles and was four under on his back nine but closed with four straight pars to miss the cut by two shots.
