The 2026 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am marks the first signature event of the PGA Tour season, bringing together the top 10 ranked players in the world for the first time this year. Rory McIlroy makes his season debut aiming to repeat as champion, while world No. 4 Tommy Fleetwood competes fresh off his 2025 FedExCup title. Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1, enters as the prohibitive favorite after winning the American Express and tying for third at the WM Phoenix Open. Justin Rose has risen to No. 3 in the rankings following strong performances at Torrey Pines.
In addition to the professional competition, the event includes a concurrent pro-am tournament with golf-obsessed celebrities, star athletes, politicians, and business executives. The PGA Tour has released handicaps for all 80 amateur participants, revealing skill levels from scratch golfers to 18-handicappers. Three amateurs hold 0-handicaps: Brian Ferris, Johno Harris, and Chris Solomon. Country music star Jake Owen carries a 1-handicap, while former NFL quarterback Alex Smith plays at 7. NFL star Travis Kelce and former NBA player Pau Gasol both have 10-handicaps, matching Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, a member of Augusta National, and NFL Hall of Famer Steve Young share a 13-handicap. Eleven amateurs are at 11.
Betting odds from DraftKings list Scheffler at +290 to win, followed by McIlroy at +1300 and Xander Schauffele at +2500. Analysts predict Maverick McNealy as a strong contender at +2900, citing his recent top-10 finishes. Pierceson Coody stands out as a longshot at +5700, with top-20 results in all four starts this season. Odds for a playoff are +400 yes, -650 no, given the competitive field.
