Spieth to skip 2016 Farmers Insurance Open in favor of Asian Tour event

Jordan Spieth won't be teeing it up at Torrey Pines this January. Instead, the 22-year-old Spieth will take his talents across the Pacific for the Asian Tour's SMBC Singapore Open.

Spieth will compete for the first time in the Jan. 28-31 event at Sentosa Golf Club's Serapong Course, held opposite the PGA Tour's Farmers Insurance Open.

“Playing in the SMBC Singapore Open is something I’m really looking forward to," Spieth, a two-time major champ in 2015, said in a release. “I’m very fortunate to play golf around the world and can’t wait to visit Singapore for the first time.
