The first signature event of the PGA Tour season is here, and with it comes Rory McIlroy’s 2026 debut.
McIlroy is making his first start of the new campaign this week at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, an event he won last year over Shane Lowry, which marked his first win in a dominant season that also saw him win The Players Championship and the Masters a few months later to complete the career Grand Slam.

Though he’s not been on Tour yet in 2026, he has made three starts on the DP World Tour. He finished T3 at the Dubai Invitational last month and is coming off a T33 finish at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic.
McIlroy, however, is not the favorite this week. Not even close. While this elevated event field is the best of the season so far, Scottie Scheffler is listed as a massive +300 favorite to win on BetMGM. McIlroy is the second-favorite, though back at +1400. The top-ranked golfer in the world ran away with The American Express last month for his 20th career win, and he rallied late after a rough start to finish T3 at the WM Phoenix Open last week.
Si Woo Kim, Viktor Hovland, Farmers Insurance Open winner Justin Rose, Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay are some of the biggest names in the field this week, too. There is no cut, and 700 FedExCup points available to the winner. The tournament also features a $20 million purse, with $3.6 million going to the winner on Sunday.
Here’s everything you need to know to keep up with McIlroy, Scheffler and the rest of the field this week at Pebble Beach.
