2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Preview: Everything You Need To Know About Pebble Beach

It’s another week of golf action on the PGA Tour. The next stop is the 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Compare AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am odds at the best sports betting sites to increase your potential PGA Tour golf betting payouts. Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Collin Morikawa project as the top favorites for this upcoming tournament.
The West Coast swing continues on the PGA Tour, with the tour’s brightest stars flocking to Monterey, California, for the second of eight signature events this season. The stage is set for what promises to be a highly entertaining four rounds of golf at the 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
Pebble Beach is one of my favorite courses in the world to watch, and I’ve been glued to my TV screen for this event recently. I’ve cashed in on outright bets on Gary Woodland in 2019 (US Open), Daniel Berger in in 2021, and Tom Hoge in 2022. Fresh off a 100-1 Harris English win at the Farmers Insurance Open, we’ll look to keep that momentum going into this week. This event has long rewarded strategic course management and elite approach proximity from within 150 yards. With the modifications that come with new signature event status, we’ll dive into the stats that will remain predictive for success at Pebble Beach, as well as new areas to find value.

A New Look for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am
A staple on the PGA Tour since 1937, Pebble Beach has undergone several notable changes in recent years.
For starters, it’s been deservedly tapped as the second of eight signature events for the second straight season. As a signature event, the field will be limited to 80 (down from the historical full field of 156) and will be a no-cut event. The event remains a pro-am, but amateurs will only play alongside the pros for the first two rounds.
Previously a three-course rotation, the tournament will not have Monterrey Peninsula in the mix in 2025. Instead, players will alternate between Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill for the first two days, setting the stage for Saturday and Sunday action at Pebble Beach.
Of note, there are several players in the field who rank in the top 30 in SG: TOT on both Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill but who are below average on Monterrey Peninsula: Rory McIlroy, Max Homa, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Seamus Power, and Wyndham Clark. These players stand to see a slight boost from past performance, with Monterrey Peninsula removed from the rotation in 2024. Conversely, Eric Cole, Kurt Kitayama, and Lucas Glover are potential sell-high candidates with great history on Monterrey Peninsula and lesser performances on Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill.
THE FIELD AT A GLANCE
The Sentry kicked off 2025 as the first signature event of the new season; the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is the second of eight on the schedule. As a signature event, the purse increases to $20M, there is no cut, and the field shrinks to just 80 players. Qualifying for the field in a signature event requires one of the following:
- Top 50 in 2024 FedExCup Points (reached the BMW Championship)
- No. 51-60 FedExCup Points via FedExCup Fall performance
- Aon Swing 5: Top-five FedEx Cup point earners since the previous signature event (The Sentry)
- 2025 winners
- Top 30 in OWGR
- Five sponsors exemptions
It can be a bit confusing to track who is and is not qualified in the early days of signature events, but in short, all the best players on the PGA Tour are here. From an OWGR standpoint, all eligible PGA Tour players inside the top 20, with the exception of Xander Schauffele, are here to tee it up. Xander continues to deal with a lingering injury that has sidelined him since his TGL appearance in the first week of January. The “signature bump” is a welcomed sight for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, which has long produced one of the weakest fields of the season when going head-to-head with the Saudi International. That opens the door for players like Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Tony Finau, who recently skipped this event in favor of the Saudi International.
Wyndham Clark is back to defend his 54-hole win after the 2024 Pebble Beach Pro-Am was cut short due to inclement weather. Other past winners of this event returning to the field this week include Justin Rose, Tom Hoge, Nick Taylor, and Jordan Spieth.
INTRODUCTION TO THE TWO-COURSE ROTATION
It’s the third week in a row we’ll be navigating a multi-course rotation. Mercifully, this will be the last rotating course setup we see this season. Variety is fine, but cycling through multiple courses means less strokes gained data and an added variable of the field not playing the same courses under the same daily conditions.
Pebble Beach is one of my favorites and one of the most iconic, picturesque courses in the United States. This year, we’re blessed to see a third round on the infamous course, but historically, we have only been able to glean insights from two rounds per tournament at this event, as Pebble Beach is the only course in rotation equipped with ShotLink. That will be used as the basis of this week’s strokes gained research.
Similar to the Farmers Insurance Open last week, players will rotate between two courses — Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill — over the first two days, then play Pebble Beach on Saturday and Sunday.
Unlike the last pro-am we saw — The AmEx — there is some bite to these courses. Pro-ams are typically designed not to kill the amateurs. The Poa greens will roll on the slower side, and rough will not be grown to its limits with the amateurs in mind. However, we’ve seen modest winning scores in the mid-teens year in and year out at this event. The exposure to high coastal winds is mostly to thank for keeping the scoring in check, but despite all three courses playing under 7,100 yards, they each present their own challenges.
Pebble Beach
Pebble Beach features some of the smallest greens we see on tour all season at just 3,500 square feet in average green size. This puts an emphasis on playing from the fairway and dialing in approach shots. It also yields one of the lowest greens in regulation percentages on tour, making SG: around the green a key stat for this week.
Due to the angular hole layouts, Pebble Beach concedes the shortest average driving distance on tour. That forces layups on many holes off the tee and almost completely removes any advantage for longer hitters. The average driving distance at Pebble Beach has fallen around 274 yards (well below the tour average of 290 yards) to illustrate the persistence of forced layups here.
The historical scoring average is 0.9 strokes over par. Depending on how much the winds decide to pick up, this course can really pose a challenge to the field despite the short length of the scorecard. The top 10 players in terms of SG: TOT at Pebble Beach are Jason Day, Justin Rose, Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Gary Woodland, Denny McCarthy, Nick Taylor, Shane Lowry, Maverick McNealy, and Eric Cole.
Spyglass Hill
Spyglass Hill poses a bit more of a challenge. Five holes are exposed to the coast, but otherwise, it is tree-lined to help protect itself from the elements. When winds are up, Spyglass has historically played as the most difficult course at this event; when winds are down, it plays slightly easier than Pebble Beach. Slightly longer than Pebble Beach at 7,035 yards, this par-72 features four par 4s under 400 yards where players will need to capitalize. The scoring average here has played to about 0.5 strokes over par.
Similar to what we saw most recently at Torrey Pines last week — as well as other coastal layouts like Port Royal and Waialae CC — these grounds are very exposed to the coastline and will be highly susceptible to coastal winds. It will be key to keep an eye out for weather reports throughout the week to see if there is an advantage for any of the course rotation waves or AM/PM tee time splits.
The top 10 players in terms of SG: TOT at Spyglass Hill are Beau Hossler, Justin Rose, Jason Day, Patrick Cantlay, Thomas Detry, Denny McCarthy, Jordan Spieth, Shane Lowry, Ben Griffin, and Emiliano Grillo. Top iron players who can confidently flight approaches into varying coastal winds have found the most success at Spyglass Hill. That correlates similarly with the list of players who have found success at Pebble Beach as well. This furthers the point that putting specialists who are inconsistent ball-strikers have been exposed on Spyglass Hill when it plays difficult.

EVENT HISTORY & COMP COURSES
There is a decorated group of players who come to this signature event with great track records at Pebble Beach. Jason Day — though coming off a lackluster finish outside the top 30 at the Farmers Insurance Open last week — boasts the most consistent resume here. In 16 career appearances, he has still never missed the cut (a streak guaranteed to continue after this week as well), and has stockpiled 10 top-10 finishes, including a T6 here last year.
Removing Monterrey Peninsula, the top nine players in this field in terms of total strokes gained at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am after Day are Justin Rose, Beau Hossler, Patrick Cantlay, Denny McCarthy, Jordan Spieth, Shane Lowry, Viktor Hovland, Seamus Power, and Matt Fitzpatrick.
Eleven players have posted multiple T15 finishes over the last five years. That list consists of Jason Day, Patrick Cantlay, Tom Hoge, Beau Hossler, Si Woo Kim, Maverick McNealy, Justin Rose, Eric Cole, Denny McCarthy, Seamus Power, and Keith Mitchell.
Just eight players have avoided missing the cut here over the last five years (min. three appearances): Patrick Cantlay, Jason Day, Wyndham Clark, Denny McCarthy, Taylor Moore, Justin Rose, Adam Hadwin, and Jordan Spieth.
Comp Conditions
It’s not the easiest week to home in on comp courses. The courses share sub-7,200 yardage and exposure to the coastline, which is susceptible to high winds. In general, history on short courses appears to be translatable here. The top 10 players in SG: TOT (<7,200 Yards) are Scottie Scheffler, Justin Thomas, Ludvig Aberg, Patrick Cantlay, Russell Henley, Rory McIlroy, Billy Horschel, Ben Griffin, Austin Eckroat, and Collin Morikawa. All are sensible fits with proven prior results at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
It’s tricky factoring performance in high winds into any modeling, given that gusting winds do not affect all players the same. Homing in on SG: TOT across short, coastal, and windy courses, the top 10 are Scottie Scheffler, Wyndham Clark, Patrick Cantlay, Shane Lowry, Ludvig Aberg, Rory McIlroy, Brian Harman, Maverick McNealy, Justin Thomas, and Tom Kim.
Comp Courses
Looking at specific comp courses, Colonial CC looks to be the best one in terms of corollary success. Like the courses on tap this week, Colonial is short and rewards accurate, positional play off the tee, and it can be played in high sustained winds. That places more of an emphasis on around-the-green play. Daniel Berger, Jordan Spieth, and Phil Mickelson have each won at both events.
I also like Waialae CC, Port Royal, Sea Island, Harbour Town, Liberty National, and El Camaleon as recent short, windy, and coastal tracks. TPC River Highlands, Stadium Course, and Sedgefield CC place a similar emphasis on positional play, while Riviera CC is worth a reference for similar Poa greens.
The top 10 players in SG: TOT at these comp courses are Scottie Scheffler, Patrick Cantlay, Justin Thomas, Ludvig Aberg, Keegan Bradley, J.T. Poston, Russell Henley, Collin Morikawa, Viktor Hovland, and Wyndham Clark.
KEY STATS TO CONSIDER FOR 2025 AT&T PEBBLE BEACH PRO-AM ODDS
- SG: APP
- Good drives gained / driving accuracy
- SG: ARG
- Prox: 75-150 (100-125 emphasis)
- Par-4: 350-450
- Opportunities gained
- SG: TOT (<7,200-yard courses)
- SG: P (Poa)
- Course history and comp course history
Off The Tee
You don’t have to be a fairway-finding specialist to put yourself in position off the tee this week. Many players who may normally reach back for extra distance at the expense of hitting more fairways will be forced to keep their driver in the bag on these courses. With that in mind, driving accuracy may be a bit of a misleading stat to weigh heavily this week, knowing that players will be looking to lay up more often.
This week is setting up as more of a second-shot course. I like the good drives gained stat in place of the usual SG: OTT, driving distance, or driving accuracy stats, as it also incorporates approach play. Players who get themselves into position to reach greens in regulation should create the most scoring opportunities at this event. The top 10 players in good drives gained are Doug Ghim, Alex Smalley, Ben Griffin, Beau Hossler, Tommy Fleetwood, Aaron Rai, Nico Echavarria, Collin Morikawa, Mark Hubbard, and Nick Taylor.
Approach
Strokes gained: approach is crucial every week on tour, but at a second-shot course like Pebble Beach, which features some of the smallest greens we see all year, it’s even more paramount. The top nine players in SG: APP entering this week are Scottie Scheffler, Tom Kim, Lucas Glover, Tommy Fleetwood, Tony Finau, Tom Hoge, Gary Woodland, J.J. Spaun, and Justin Thomas.
Looking at the distribution of approach shots historically at Pebble Beach, they largely funnel below 150 yards, with an emphasis on 100-125. It’s difficult to rely on proximity in 25-yard increments, so I’m looking for players who excel from inside of 150 yards. The top 10 from that group are Scottie Scheffler, Russell Henley, Nick Taylor, Justin Thomas, Doug Ghim, Brian Harman, J.J. Spaun, Harry Hall, Andrew Novak, and Patrick Rodgers.
Par-4 Hole Range
The hole ranges are fairly evenly distributed between the three courses, but 40% fall between 350 and 450 yards. The top 10 in par 4 scoring from this range are Collin Morikawa, Mark Hubbard, Maverick McNealy, Scottie Scheffler, J.J. Spaun, Sahith Theegala, Thomas Detry, Taylor Pendrith, Gary Woodland, and Tom Hoge.
With only half of the rounds historically being played on Pebble Beach at this event, it’s difficult to draw any conclusive trends from past SG: TOT correlations. What we do know in looking through the list of players with top event history is that stats like good drives gained, SG: APP, comp short course history, SG: ARG, SG: P (Poa), par 4: 350-450, and prox: 75-150 should serve as reliable indicators of success. Five players rate out as above average in each of those categories: Scottie Scheffler, Sungjae Im, Viktor Hovland, Patrick Cantlay, and Sepp Straka.
PLAYER SPOTLIGHT: patrick cantlay

In an age where chasing speed and distance have taken over the sport, Patrick Cantlay seems to have zagged in a different direction to find his edge: course strategy. Sure, Cantlay is longer off the tee than most would expect and is well above average in the driving distance category, but you’ll never find him overpowering a course for the sake of overpowering it.
It’s no coincidence that Cantlay has found his best results in pro-ams like this event and The American Express, or that he’s become the face of the movement against slow play on the PGA Tour, or that he’s been heavily involved on the PGA Tour policy board, or that he spent a majority of his air time on the TGL broadcast explaining the +EV strategy of holding onto the Hammer, or that he ranks in the top three in this field in course history, comp course history, and SG: T2G on short, positional courses. Patrick Cantlay loves to think his way through every challenge and excels in environments that reward a more thoughtful approach. Pebble Beach is, by all accounts, a strategist’s course, and one that Cantlay has been able to separate himself on year after year.
Last week, the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines reminded us that Poa greens are a foreign novelty to many and must be learned over time. That’s no issue for California native Patrick Cantlay, who has separated himself on these greens by gaining strokes via putting in seven of his eight career trips to Pebble Beach. Few have the ceiling to get the better of Scottie Scheffler this week, but with four consecutive top-11 finishes at this event and finishes of top 25 or better in each of his last nine starts, the stars seem to be aligning for Cantlay leading up to this week.

MODEL RESULTS & BREAKDOWN
For my model this week, I’m prioritizing SG: APP, course history and comp course history, prox: 100-125, good drives gained, SG: TOT (short and windy courses), and opportunities gained, followed by a more balanced mix of SG: P (TOT + Poa), SG: TOT (L24), and SG: ARG to help navigate Pebble Beach Pro-Am odds.
Model Favorites
In the most top-heavy field we’ve seen so far in 2025, it’s no surprise to see Scottie Scheffler back in the No. 1 position in my model. Scottie has been nothing short of dominant over the last two seasons, but he enters this week in questionable form as he makes his first start of 2025 since suffering a freak hand injury over the holidays. It’s no fun to bet in fear of Scottie Scheffler, so I’ll take my chances on the field this week in the hopes that Scheffler still has some rust to shake off.
After Scheffler, my model’s top 10 is rounded out by Patrick Cantlay, Collin Morikawa, Russell Henley, Ludvig Aberg, Justin Thomas, Tommy Fleetwood, Ben Griffin, Aaron Rai, and Rory McIlroy.
I’ll look to have exposure to two non-Scheffler favorites when sportsbooks release AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am odds. Top focus goes to those with strong course history and who made a habit of returning to Monterrey year over year. I have my eye on Patrick Cantlay, Justin Thomas, or Collin Morikawa at the top, with some appealing mid-range values like Jason Day, Shane Lowry, and Justin Rose in mind as well.
