When Rory McIlroy won last year’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, it was the first time he claimed the title at the historic Monterey Peninsula venue. The World No. 2 outlasted his good friend Shane Lowry at Pebble, and then went on to win both the Players and the Masters in playoffs. Rory now has a chance to defend the first of those three titles this week, in his first start on the PGA Tour in 2026.
McIlroy will be one of many top tour pros looking for a big early-season win at the first Signature Event of 2026. And we’re about to watch some dang good golf, as the top nine players, according to the OWGR, are all in the field. Along with McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, Russell Henley, Robert MacIntyre, J.J. Spaun, Xander Schauffele and Ben Griffin are all teeing it up this week. And Lowry will be looking for a little revenge from last year’s close loss, as will Hideki Matsuyama, who couldn’t put away the recent WM Phoenix Open in a playoff.

Last week’s eventual champ, Chris Gotterup, also is in the field this week, searching for his third win this year after the Sony Open in Hawaii and the WMPO. This will be the 26-year-old’s Pebble Beach debut.
Six players had a share of the lead at some point on Sunday at Pebble last year. But it was McIlroy’s eagle on the 571-yard 14th hole that ultimately put him over the top. When you make an ace on the first day of the event, like McIlroy did last year, you know you’re in for a strong showing.
This week’s winner will receive a $3.6 million cut of the $20 million purse and 700 FedEx Cup points.

Not just the greatest meeting of land and sea in American golf, but the most extensive one, too, with nine holes perched immediately above the crashing Pacific surf—the fourth through 10th plus the 17th and 18th. Pebble’s sixth through eighth are golf’s real Amen Corner, with a few Hail Marys thrown in over an ocean cove on the eighth from atop a 75-foot-high bluff. Pebble hosted a successful U.S. Amateur in 2018 and a sixth U.S. Open in 2019. Recent improvements include the redesign of the once-treacherous 14th green and reshaping the par-3 17th green, both planned by Arnold Palmer’s Design Company a few years back, and modifications to the green at the famous eighth hole, which we deemed the second Greatest Hole in America. Green modifications have continued, and Pebble re-enters our top 10 after a brief time out the last two years. View Course Streaming Schedule
