Justin Rose’s win at the Farmers Insurance Open was his 13th on the PGA Tour.
Rose performed incredibly well at Torrey Pines and ran away with the Farmers Insurance Open in the end.
After his win on Sunday, Rose insisted that he has Scottie Scheffler in his sights now, albeit somewhat with his tongue in his cheek.
The Englishman has been in superb form over the past year or so.
Do you think Justin Rose will win a second major title before he retires?
The 45-year-old is playing some of the best golf of his career right now
Rose continues to defy Old Father Time by producing some truly sensational golf.
It’s clear to see that Rose is still more than capable of winning another major before he hangs up his clubs.
Player with no PGA Tour wins says Justin Rose should not be in the Hall of Fame
Johnson Wagner and Brendon De Jonge completely disagree on whether Rose should be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Wagner backed Rose to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, when speaking on the The Wagyu Filet Show.
“I say yes,“ Wagner exclaimed.
“I mean, he’s a U.S. Open champ. He won the gold medal in Rio, the first year that golf came back to the Olympics.
“You know, you look at it, 13 wins on the PGA Tour, that doesn’t necessarily jump off the page, but being the world player that he is, having the Ryder Cup record that he has, playing as well as he has this deep into his 40s.
“I mean, he’s 45, so I think, yes, and when you talk to Fooch, Mark Fulcher, his caddie, he thinks that Justin still has, like, his best years ahead of him.
“I mean, the guy’s finished runner up in a major the last two seasons at Troon, to Xander Schauffele in 2024, and at the Masters last year in the playoff with Rory McIlroy.
“So, I mean, he still has the chops to go hunt down major championships. Yes, I think he is a Hall of Famer. I think it’s fringe, but, yes.“
However, De Jonge completely disagreed with Wagner’s take on Rose, despite never having won a PGA Tour event himself throughout his career.
“I don’t,“ the former PGA Tour player insisted.
“I look at who’s in the Hall of Fame right now. And I hate saying this, but when you look at sort of the low bar of the Hall of Fame right now, which sounds like an oxymoron, because it is the Hall of Fame, but I would say Fred Couples is probably towards your low bar right now.
“Freddie, 15 wins on the PGA Tour, a Masters, two Players. I just think Rosie needs to do a little bit more, and I remember George Savaricas had this conversation with Adam Scott when they were in Japan.
“This was about two or three years ago now.
“And Adam Scott said, “I need to win another major to be in the Hall of Fame’. The careers of Adam Scott and Justin Rose are very, very similar. They kind of marry each other, to be honest. Both guys, 45 years old.
“I just feel like Justin Rose needs to do a little bit more to get into the Hall of Fame.“
De Jonge is missing the point regarding Justin Rose’s career
I feel like De Jonge has completely overlooked Rose’s general achievements in the game, outside of his PGA Tour victories.
Fred Couples never won an Olympic gold medal, nor did he enjoy the success that Rose has at the Ryder Cup.
What are your takes from Brooks Koepka’s first showing back on the PGA Tour?
Are you more or less encouraged that he can compete in 2026
If the PGA Tour hierarchy feel as though Rose needs to win one more major to qualify for the Hall of Fame, or a Players Championship, then so be it.
Justin Rose will be safe in the knowledge that he has achieved more than most throughout his career in professional golf.
The challenge for him now will be to add another major championship to his 2013 US Open win.
He’s more than good enough to do just that and may well be one to watch at the Masters in April.
Justin Rose just needs to keep performing at his best, and his golf will take care of his hopes of becoming a Hall of Fame member.
