2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Preview & Picks

The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am marks the fifth event of the 2025 PGA TOUR season and the second Signature Event. This no-cut tournament will see amateurs paired with professionals for the first two rounds, played across Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill. On the weekend, all 80 professionals will compete exclusively at Pebble Beach.

Pre-Tournament Storylines:

Wyndham Clark

Wyndham Clark returns to Pebble Beach as the defending champion, aiming to become the first player to win back-to-back titles at the event since 2009-10. This will be his third start of the 2025 season, following a T15 finish at The Sentry and a missed cut at The American Express two weeks ago.

Scottie Scheffler

Scottie Scheffler is set to make his 2025 PGA TOUR season debut after recovering from a hand injury sustained while cooking ravioli on Christmas. This will be his second appearance at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, where he finished T6 in his impressive tournament debut last year. Judging by a recent post, it seems his hand isn’t causing him much trouble anymore.

Course/ Tournament History:

Pebble Beach Golf Links, located along the breathtaking coastline of the Monterey Peninsula in California, is one of the most iconic and celebrated golf courses in the world. Designed by Jack Neville and Douglas Grant, the course opened in 1919 and quickly gained a reputation for its stunning ocean views and challenging layout. Over the years, it has hosted numerous prestigious tournaments, including six U.S. Opens, with legendary moments such as Jack Nicklaus’s 1-iron shot to the 17th green in 1972 and Tiger Woods’s record-breaking 15-shot victory in 2000. Pebble Beach is also the annual host of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, a beloved event that combines professional golfers and celebrities. With its dramatic cliffs, rolling fairways, and iconic holes like the par-3 7th and the par-5 18th, Pebble Beach continues to captivate players and fans, solidifying its place as a cornerstone of American golf history.

Spyglass Hill Golf Course, part of the renowned Pebble Beach Resorts on California’s Monterey Peninsula, is celebrated for its challenging design and picturesque beauty. Opened in 1966, the course was designed by legendary architect Robert Trent Jones Sr., who masterfully combined coastal dunes and dense forest landscapes into a seamless layout. Named after Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel Treasure Island, the course embraces its theme with holes named after characters and locations from the book. The opening five holes feature sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and sandy dunes, while the remaining holes wind through the Del Monte Forest, presenting a stark contrast and a demanding test of accuracy.

The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is one of the most unique and celebrated tournaments on the PGA Tour, combining world-class golf with celebrity entertainment. The event was founded in 1937 by singer and actor Bing Crosby, originally called the “Crosby Clambake,” and was first played at Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. In 1947, it moved to the Monterey Peninsula, where it has since become synonymous with Pebble Beach Golf Links and its surrounding courses, including Spyglass Hill and the Monterey Peninsula Country Club. Known for its iconic oceanfront setting, the tournament pairs professional golfers with amateur partners, often featuring celebrities, athletes, and business leaders.

Course Guides/ Scorecard:

For the third consecutive week, we have a tournament featuring multiple courses. On Thursday and Friday, golfers will play one round each at Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill, with both weekend rounds taking place exclusively at Pebble Beach. Notably, this will mark the first time ShotLink data is available from Spyglass Hill.

Pebble Beach Golf Links

Pebble Beach is the third shortest course on the PGA Tour playing just 6,972 yards. The main defense for this course, is the wind coming off the Pacific, to which the majority of the holes are exposed to. In addition to the wind, Pebble Beach features the smallest greens on TOUR. With the smaller greens, players have struggled to hit the greens in regulation placing an emphasis on SG: Around the Green and Scrambling. The average driving distance at this course is also much lower than the PGA TOUR Event average which makes sense. Off the tee, many players will choose to club down since the fairways are on the narrower side and the additional length doesn’t provide as much of an advantage as it would on a longer course. Also, some of the holes on this course force you to layup which impacts that as well.

The four Par 3’s range from 106 to 202 yards. Last year, No. 7 and No. 17 were the only two Par 3’s to have a scoring average under par.

No. 5, 192 yards, Par 3: Designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened for play in 1998, this green feeds from front-left to back-right. Beware of the bunker behind the green — it cuts into the putting surface more than it appears from the tee.

No. 7, 106 yards, Par 3: Take a look at the flag on the sixth green to gauge what the wind is doing. Aces have been made here with clubs ranging from a lob wedge to a 3-iron.

No. 17, 177 yards, Par 3: This iconic hourglass-shaped green can play 15 yards longer or shorter depending on the pin placement. The traditional Sunday U.S. Open hole location is back-left, where Jack Nicklaus famously hit the flag with a 1-iron and Tom Watson chipped in.

There are ten Par 4’s at Pebble Beach with the majority of those holes ranging between 400 and 450 yards. In terms of scoring average, the toughest Par 4 on the course last year was No. 9.

No. 8, 427 yards, Par 4: From the bottom tees, an aiming rock helps you find this fairway, which pours over a cliff after about 240 yards. From there, enjoy what Jack Nicklaus calls his favorite approach shot in all of golf, over a seaside chasm to a green that steeply slopes from back to front. This was also the scene of Jordan Speith’s miraculous shot in 2022.

No. 9, 481 yards, Par 4: Welcome to the toughest hole of the 2019 U.S. Open. The fairway plateaus 200 yards from the green, before falling right to Carmel Beach. Big drives get you closer to this well-protected green, but you’ll have to deal with a downhill lie.

There are four Par 5s on the course, No. 2, No. 6, No. 14, and No. 18. All of these holes had a scoring average under par in 2024 except No. 18. Hole No. 2 was the easiest hole on the course last year with a scoring average of 0.496 below par.

No. 6, 506 yards, Par 5: Take a good look at where the green is as you walk up to your drive. The second shot of this iconic par-5 climbs nearly four stories to an elevated second fairway.

No. 18, 543 yards, Par 5: It’s the most famous finishing hole in golf. Aggressive drives attempting to reach this par-5 in two need to send their tee shots left of the tree in the fairway. Or you can safely play to the right of the tree, lay up, and wedge onto the green.

Featured/ Signature Hole(s): 7,8

Spyglass Hill Golf Course

Spyglass Hill Golf Course is the longer of the two courses featured this week. Listed at 7,041 yards, it’s the fifth shortest course on TOUR. The first five holes are the only holes exposed to winds off the Pacific Ocean. After that, the tree-lined holes limit the effect the wind has on the golf ball. The four Par 5’s on the course are long but it does feature some very short Par 4’s that players will need to take advantage of. The greens average around 5,000 sq. ft. which in comparison, is much larger than Pebble. However, just like Pebble, second shots will be placed at a premium.

The four Par 3’s range from 130 to 203 yards. Last year on Hole No. 15, which plays just 130 yards, more birdies were made than bogeys.

No. 3 ‘The Black Spot’, 172 yards, Par 3: The tee box yields a specular view of Cypress Point Club, Bird Rock, and Monterey Peninsula Country Club. Since this downhill shot faces the Pacific Ocean, it is almost always into a seaside breeze, making the distance difficult to calculate. Once you find the green, notice that putts race to the ocean.

No. 15 ‘Jim Hawkins’, 130 yards, Par 3: Barely longer than the famous seventh hole at Pebble Beach, this downhill par-3 is guarded by a pond short, and a hillside dotted with bunkers long. Watch out for a tier that divides the upper back half of the green from the lower front.

There are ten Par 4’s at Spyglass Hill with the majority of those holes ranging between 400 and 450 yards. In terms of scoring average, the toughest Par 4 on the course last year was No. 6.

No. 4 ‘Blind Pew’, 370 yards, Par 4: This is Robert Trent Jones Sr.’s favorite par-4 he ever designed. Admire this wild green sunken between sand dunes. The putting surface is just 10 yards wide at its most forgiving, and some 55 yards deep. Be mindful of the hole location. It will dictate the type of shot you’ll want to play.

No. 17 ‘Ben Gunn’, 325 yards, Par 4: This short dogleg-left par-4 wraps around four fairway bunkers. You don’t need much off the tee, but you’ll want to keep your second shot below the hole. The 17th green is one of the steepest on the course.

There are four Par 5s on the course, No. 1, No. 7, No. 11, and No. 14. All of these holes had a scoring average under par in 2024.

No. 11 ‘Admiral Benbow’, 562 yards, Par 5: Aggressive drives that cut the corner can pay off big-time here, setting up reachable second shots into this par 5. If you can’t get home in two, it’s wise to lay up at the end of the first fairway, 125 yards out, and short of an armory of bunkers guarding the right half of the green.

No. 14 ‘Long John Silver’, 560 yards, Par 5: This double-doglegging par-5 is challenging to reach in two because of its shape. An imposing pond also starts 70 yards in front of the green. The middle half of this green does feed right, which can help approaches work their way toward a hole tucked behind the pond.

Featured/ Signature Hole(s): 4

Per DataGolf, this is the favored skillset at Spyglass Hill Golf Course.

• Good Drives Gained
  • Success this week will hinge on players’ ability to position themselves effectively off the tee. While the course’s considerable length underscores the significance of distance, precision holds equal importance.

Outrights

Patrick Cantlay (+2000) – FanDuel

Risk 0.40 Units to win 8.00 Units

Patrick Cantlay has teed it up twice this year, finishing T15 at The Sentry and T5 at The American Express two weeks ago. While he has performed well overall, his iron play has been a slight concern, as he has lost strokes on approach in back-to-back events for the first time since the Arnold Palmer Invitational and THE PLAYERS Championship last season. However, Cantlay has proven his ability to rebound with his irons, and history is on his side—he has not lost strokes on approach in three consecutive events since 2014. Even if his iron play doesn’t fully return, Wyndham Clark demonstrated last season that strong short game and putting can be enough to win this event.

This will mark Cantlay’s eighth start at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, where he has finished T11 or better in five of his previous appearances. Though he hasn’t won since the 2022 BMW Championship, this feels like an ideal spot for him to get back into the winner’s circle. His recent form, strong course history, and comfort playing on the West Coast—having grown up in California and attended UCLA—all point to a potential breakthrough this week.

Keegan Bradley (+5000) – FanDuel

Risk 0.16 Units to win 8.00 Units

Keegan Bradley is off to a strong start in the 2025 PGA TOUR season. He’s competed in three events, finishing T15 at The Sentry, T6 at the Sony Open in Hawaii, and T15 at last week’s Farmers Insurance Open. Bradley’s game is firing on all cylinders as he heads to a venue where he’s enjoyed past success. In his two previous appearances at Pebble Beach, he finished T15 in 2011 and T11 in 2024.

Russell Henley (+6000) – FanDuel

Risk 0.14 Units to win 8.40 Units

Russell Henley ended the 2024 season on a high note and has carried that momentum into the 2025 season. In two starts this year, he finished T30 at The Sentry and T10 at the Sony Open in Hawaii. This week, he’ll make his sixth appearance at Pebble Beach, where his best finish came in 2018 with a T15. While he has struggled on the greens in his last three trips to Pebble Beach, Henley has gained strokes putting in each of his last seven starts.

Beau Hossler (+7000) – FanDuel

Risk 0.12 Units to win 8.40 Units

Beau Hossler wrapped up the 2024 season in strong fashion, earning four top-25 finishes in his final five starts during the FedEx Cup Fall. He has carried that momentum into 2025 with a T12 at The American Express and a T15 at the Farmers Insurance Open. While Hossler is still searching for his first PGA TOUR victory, he’s currently playing some of the best golf of his career. His only concern right now is his iron play, but his exceptional short game gives him a legitimate chance to win even if his approach game isn’t perfect.

Hossler has competed in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am every year since 2017 and has been remarkably consistent recently, finishing 3rd in 2022, T11 in 2023, and T14 in 2024. Notably, in two of those top-15 finishes, he lost strokes on approach, further highlighting how his short game can keep him in contention. Encouragingly, he gained strokes on approach last week at Torrey Pines, and if he can maintain that level of ball-striking this week, he has a great chance to contend.

Denny McCarthy (+8000) – FanDuel

Risk 0.10 Units to win 8.00 Units

Denny McCarthy has made two starts this year, finishing T46 at The Sentry and T16 at the Sony Open in Hawaii. At the Sony Open, he showcased excellent form, ranking 8th in SG: Putting and 10th in SG: Approach. McCarthy has played in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am five times, struggling in his first two appearances but turning it around with strong finishes in his last three starts: T12 in 2022, T4 in 2023, and T26 in 2024.

McCarthy has the tools to secure his first PGA TOUR win this week, thanks to his impressive ball striking and putting. He has also performed exceptionally well on Poa greens, as shown in the chart below. While his driving distance and play around the green have been weaknesses in the past, his accuracy off the tee should work in his favor on these shorter courses. Additionally, McCarthy’s short game has seen significant improvement, as he has gained strokes around the green in ten of his last eleven starts.

Andrew Novak (+12000) – FanDuel

Risk 0.07 Units to win 8.40 Units

Andrew Novak is my longshot pick of the week. He came close to his first PGA TOUR victory at the end of the 2024 season, finishing runner-up to Rafael Campos at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship. Novak has played three times this year, missing the cut at both the Sony Open in Hawaii and The American Express. However, he bounced back last week at the Farmers Insurance Open, finishing 3rd with a final round of 74 after a solid 66 in the third round. At that event, he ranked 7th in SG: Approach, 12th in SG: Putting, and 19th in SG: Around the Green.

This will be Novak’s third appearance at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, having missed the cut in 2022 and finished T20 in 2023. He has now come close to victory twice in his last five starts and has shown he can perform well at this venue. If he can carry some of that momentum and confidence into this event, he may have a shot. With longshot winners emerging at this tournament in the past, who’s to say Novak can’t add his name to that list?

Top 20 (Inc. Ties)

Jason Day (+110) – DraftKings

Risk 1.00 Units to win 1.10 Units

Jason Day has played three times this season, finishing T40 at The Sentry, T3 at The American Express, and T32 at the Farmers Insurance Open. Overall, he’s played well in all aspects of his game this season, with the exception of his putting.

This will be Day’s fifteenth appearance at Pebble Beach, where he has posted eleven top-20 finishes, including nine top-10s. The Australian clearly enjoys playing here, and while he has yet to claim a victory at this event, his consistent performances speak for themselves.

As noted earlier, Day has had struggles on the greens this season, but he has shown an affinity for Poa greens and has gained strokes on the green in twelve of his last fifteen appearances at this tournament. With his strong course history, Day will be one to watch this week.

Taylor Pendrith (+140) – DraftKings

Risk 1.00 Units to win 1.40 Units

Taylor Pendrith earned his first PGA TOUR victory last season at the CJ CUP Byron Nelson and closed out the year with a strong run, securing seven consecutive top-25 finishes. This season, he has played three events, finishing T13 at The Sentry, T45 at the Sony Open in Hawaii, and T7 at the Farmers Insurance Open. Pendrith has competed in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am twice, finishing T49 in 2022 and T7 in 2023. His solid form this season, combined with a strong finish last year, makes him a player to watch this week.
