The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro‑Am returns as one of the most prestigious stops on the PGA Tour calendar, showcasing a field packed with elite PGA Tour players, celebrities and business leaders. The event is played across Pebble Beach Golf Links and Spyglass Hill, with the opening two rounds split between both courses before the final 36 holes shift exclusively to Pebble Beach. All 81 players will compete in all four rounds, making this one of only five no‑cut events on the 2026 PGA Tour schedule.
The combination of iconic venues, a massive purse and a high‑stakes atmosphere makes this tournament a must‑watch for golf fans.
McIlroy Begins His U.S. Season Against a Loaded Field
Reigning champion Rory McIlroy makes his stateside season debut this week, looking to defend his Pebble Beach title. To do so, he’ll need to outlast the strongest field of the young season, headlined by world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. Scheffler enters as the heavy favorite at 3‑1 after opening 2026 with a win and a T3 finish.
Last week’s winner Chris Gotterup also arrives in top form, already owning two victories this season and proving his late‑2025 surge was no fluke. Like McIlroy, Tour Championship winner Tommy Fleetwood makes his first PGA Tour start of 2026, carrying high expectations after breaking through at East Lake last August.

Why This Week Matters
With a $20 million purse, 700 FedEx Cup points and a no‑cut format, Pebble Beach sets the tone for the early season. The combination of McIlroy’s title defense, Scheffler’s dominance, Gotterup’s rise and Fleetwood’s return creates one of the most compelling storylines of the year. The celebrity‑pro pairing adds entertainment value, but once the weekend arrives, the focus shifts entirely to the 81‑player professional field battling for one of the Tour’s most coveted titles.
