2026 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am: Where Legends Clash and Comebacks Are Made

This year’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am wasn’t just another stop on the PGA Tour calendar — it was a statement. The tournament, played across the legendary Pebble Beach Golf Links and nearby Spyglass Hill, took on heightened significance as one of the PGA Tour’s Signature Events, with a massive $20 million purse up for grabs and the best players in the world teeing it up for FedExCup points, pride, and legacy.

A Field of Heavyweights

Gone (mostly) are the days when celebrities and weekend amateurs dominated headlines at Pebble Beach. In 2026, the event leaned fully into elite competition, attracting a stacked field of 80 of the world’s top pros with no cut after Friday. Stars like Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, and up-and-comers such as Chris Gotterup and Jacob Bridgeman battled it out along the stunning Monterey Peninsula rugged coastline.

The format still paired pros with amateurs on Thursday and Friday before narrowing the spotlight to just the pros at Pebble Beach for the weekend — a nod to the event’s past while cementing its future as a premier tour competition.

Drama Through Four Days

From the opening tee shot to the final putt on Sunday, the 2026 edition had it all:

• Weather swings and wind gusts provided classic Pebble Beach challenge.

• World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler electrified fans with a brilliant final round, including an incredible three eagles, a personal milestone, and a charge up the leaderboard.

• A few players had memorable off-course moments that kept social feeds buzzing — from emotional reactions to playful crowd interactions.

But the story that stole the show unfolded on the final green.

Morikawa’s Emotional Victory

In a finish worthy of a major narrative arc, Collin Morikawa clinched the title with a clutch birdie at the 72nd hole, finishing 22-under par and edging out fierce competition by just one stroke.

The win marked Morikawa’s seventh PGA TOUR victory and his first since 2023 — a triumph that ended a nearly two-and-a-half-year winless stretch and re-established him among the sport’s elite.

Off the course, the victory felt even more poignant: Morikawa shared during his post-round interview that he and his wife are expecting their first child, making this Pebble Beach triumph as emotional as it was competitive.

Prize Money and Prestige

The 2026 event’s signature status came with signature stakes. Morikawa took home a $3.6 million winner’s share from the $20 million total purse, with close purses for runners-up like Min Woo Lee and Sepp Straka just behind him.

More than just a payday, this win delivers valuable FedExCup points and confidence as players look ahead to the rest of the PGA TOUR season.

Watching and Attending

For fans, coverage of the event was broad — televised on CBS and Golf Channel, with streaming available on Paramount+ and PGA TOUR Live for featured groups and holes.

And while the celebrity draw may have waned, the crowd enthusiasm certainly didn’t — especially when NFL stars like Travis Kelce showed up to play and mingle, adding crossover appeal to an already compelling golf spectacle.

Looking Ahead

The 2026 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am proved that tradition and modern competitiveness can coexist beautifully. It was a tournament that honored the history of Pebble Beach while showcasing the future of professional golf — a blend of riveting competition, personal triumph, and panoramic beauty that keeps fans returning year after year. Whether you’re a die-hard golf fan or a casual observer, this year’s Pro-Am reminded us why Pebble Beach holds a special place in the heart of the golf world.
