The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is full of epic storylines

The PGA Tour is on fire right now.

Chris Gotterup took down Hideki Matsuyama in a playoff at the WM Phoenix Open just one week after Justin Rose set the scoring record at the Farmers Insurance Open. We are only a month in (approximately), but this season is setting up to be an all-timer, and that’s because last season was incredible in its own right.

Part of what has been so amazing about this run is that the stories are unfolding at iconic venues. Torrey Pines and TPC Scottsdale are tracks that every golf fan knows and loves and up next is one that every golf fan knows and loves in Pebble Beach.

This week will see the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am unfold, our friend Maverick McNealy will be putting a new bag in play by the way, and the stories encircling one of golf’s most sacred spots are ridiculous.

• Rory McIlroy is making his season debut and is doing so as the event’s reigning champion
• Tommy Fleetwood is also in the field for the first time in 2026, he just so happens to be the reigning Tour Championship Winner
• Chris Gotterup is coming off of his second win of the season, the first multi-winner on Tour this season, and is in the event for the first time in his career
• Justin Rose, the aforementioned, is teeing it up
• Scottie Scheffler… feels pretty obvious
• 42 of the top 50 players in the Official World Golf Ranking, not to mention 18 of the top 20, will be in the field

This is one of those places where the stories write themselves and given the characters in the mix it is surely going to be something special.
