The PGA Tour returns to California on the Monterey Peninsula for the 2026 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. It’s the first Signature Event of the season, meaning a smaller field of 80 golfers will compete without a cut line.
Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill Golf Course will be in rotation for the first two rounds. Neither course runs long, with Pebble Beach measuring under 7,000 yards. Poa Annua greens are tiny targets, sitting only 3,500 square feet on average.
Coastal winds, three-inch rough, and small greens are the primary hazards to overcome this week. Last year’s winner, Rory McIlroy, joins a star-studded field. He’s a distant second in the outright betting market at +1400, with Scottie Scheffler once again a short betting favorite at +300 odds.
Other notable golfers in this field include Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose, and Shane Lowry. Rose won at Pebble Beach in 2023 and is coming off a dominant win at the Farmers Insurance Open. Fleetwood and Lowry are making their season debut. Chris Gotterup, who just sealed his second win of the year after a comeback playoff win over Hideki Matsuyama at the WM Phoenix Open, makes his Pebble Beach debut at +3000.
My 2026 WM Phoenix Open Picks & Predictions: Best PGA Bets settled a profitable 2-1. Both Top 20 Finishing Position props won at plus odds. Jake Knapp hit at +170, and Si Woo Kim stayed hot with another top 10 finish to cash +110 odds. Wyndham Clark lost by two strokes to Kurt Kitayama in the 72 Hole Matchbet market at -110 odds.

AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am (2026): Best Bets
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Top 20 Finishing Position
We’ve been red-hot in the Top 20 Finishing Position betting market. Let’s continue to invest in these props and start by backing the 2023 Pebble Beach winner, Justin Rose.
Rose put on a clinic at Torrey Pines, dominating the field with a potent combination of tee-to-green accuracy and putting. The Englishman ranks fourth in SG: Approach this season, which will be imperative to succeed at Pebble Beach, where accuracy trumps power and distance.
The 45-year-old missed the cut at The American Express before rebounding with the outright win at the Farmers Insurance Open. Rose has four top 20 finishes in six appearances at Pebble Beach, so let’s invest in the veteran to record a fourth consecutive finish inside the top 20 on one of golf’s most iconic courses.
Pick: Justin Rose (+130)
Top 20 Finishing Position
We’re going to back another PGA Tour veteran with a ton of success at Pebble Beach in this Top 20 Finishing Position prop market. Jason Day is available to bet at +170 odds, which is good value, considering the Aussie’s sitting sixth in SG: Approach through two events this season.
Day is set to tee off for the 16th time at this event. He’s comfortable at Pebble Beach, logging a runner-up, five top-five finishes, and nine top-10 finishes.
He’s rattled off nine top 20 finishes in his previous 10 outings on the Monterey Peninsula. Let’s back Day to continue playing well enough for his third straight top 20 finish at Pebble Beach this weekend.
Pick: Jason Day (+170)
Top 20 Finishing Position
Samuel Stevens isn’t a household name compared to Rose and Day. However, he’s trending upward, logging a season-best T6 finish at The American Express.
Stevens has not finished outside the top 40 yet in four events this year. Ranks 20th in total driving, 46th SG: Approach, 28th scrambling, as well as top-50 for proximity and greens in regulation hit.
Putting is the biggest deficiency in Stevens’ game right now. However, his tee-to-green game is good enough to translate to the accuracy that Pebble Beach demands from the field.
Stevens logged a T17 finish at Pebble Beach in 2025. He’s more than capable of replicating that feat, so at +280 odds, let’s bet on Stevens to secure his second top 20 finish in 2026.
Pick: Samuel Stevens (+280)
