Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Spieth Ready for the 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am
Golf fans, mark your calendars! The excitement is palpable as the 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is just around the corner, and it’s not just any tournament. This year, two of the game’s biggest stars—Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Spieth—are gearing up for their comeback after undergoing surgeries. Can you feel the buzz in the air? This event is not only iconic because of its stunning views but also kicks off as the second Signature Event of the PGA TOUR season!
The Line-Up Looks Impressive
Get ready to see a powerhouse field! Alongside Scheffler and Spieth, Rory McIlroy is also making his first TOUR appearance of the year at this highly anticipated event. A total of 80 elite players will compete based on their finishes in the FedExCup standings or their performances from the Aon Swing 5. Scheffler might have missed the earlier events like The Sentry and The American Express, but he’s excited to finally make his 2025 PGA TOUR debut at this Pro-Am.
Injury Updates and Comebacks
If you’re wondering what kept Scheffler from playing earlier, it turns out he had a peculiar injury due to a puncture wound he sustained while making ravioli on Christmas Day! The surgery sidelined him, but now he’s ready to swing his clubs once again. Last year, in his debut at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, he finished T6, so he’s looking to improve on that this time around.
Now let’s talk about Jordan Spieth. He’s been away from the game since the FedEx St. Jude Championship last summer due to wrist surgery. But he’s making big plans to participate in three consecutive events, starting with this Pro-Am. Spieth has an impressive track record at Pebble Beach, having played this tournament 12 times with six top-10 finishes, which includes a win back in 2017!
Defending Champion and Past Winners
Don’t forget about the defending champion! Wyndham Clark is looking to defend his title this year and has a golden opportunity to make history by being the first golfer to win back-to-back titles at Pebble Beach since 2009-10. Clark’s jaw-dropping third-round score of 60 last year helped him secure his victory, even though the event was shortened to 54 holes due to weather conditions.
Also joining the fray are notable past winners such as Justin Rose, Tom Hoge, Nick Taylor, and returning fan-favorite Rickie Fowler, who’s looking to improve on his performances in past years. Not to be outdone, Harris English is also back after celebrating his victory at the Farmers Insurance Open, marking his first PGA TOUR win since 2021.
Challenging Conditions Await
The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is famous for its breathtaking landscape, but make no mistake—competition here is fierce. With small greens and the tricky Poa annua grass, players are in for a real challenge! The tournament will revert to a two-course rotation using both Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill Golf Course. Just imagine the player’s nerves as they navigate these iconic greens!
Big Bucks on the Line
Now let’s talk about the prize pool – this year, it’s a whopping $20 million with a cool $3.6 million going to the winner, plus a substantial 700 FedExCup points! Talk about motivation. Among the competitors will be qualifiers from the Aon Swing 5, like Sam Stevens, J.J. Spaun, Andrew Novak, Justin Lower, and Lee Hodges.
Who Are the Favorites?
The betting world has its eyes on Scottie Scheffler as the favorite at +400, closely followed by McIlroy at +1100, with Justin Thomas and Collin Morikawa sitting at +1400. Eric Cohen from SportsLine has even conjured up a winning parlay that promises a massive return based on these impressive players.
The stage is set, and the anticipation is building as the golf world gets ready for what promises to be an unforgettable AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Who will take the crown this year? Only time will tell!
