It’s always nice going back to the Monterey Peninsula every February for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The pro field isn’t quite as strong as we’ve seen over the last month or so, regardless, it’s tough to beat a Sunday final round at the Jack Neville/Douglas Grant masterpiece.
Matt Fitzpatrick represents the lone top-10 player in the field, but he’s joined by Jordan Spieth, Viktor Hovland and Maverick McNealy.
For the first three rounds, players will rotate between three golf courses: Pebble Beach Golf Links, Monterey Peninsula Country Club (Shore Course) and Spyglass Hill Golf Course. The final round will be played at Pebble.

Joel Dahmen (45/1)
Joel Dahmen hasn’t made a start in 2023, however, his last three events of ’22 ended with top-10 finishes, including two top fives.
Dahmen has had recent success at Pebble Beach, finishing T-14 in 2020 and T-6 in 2022.
At three golf courses where driving accuracy is more important than distance, Dahmen ranks 16th in fairways in regulation this season (68.26 percent).
Other ranks: 28th in SG: Approach, 11th in SG: Tee to Green and third in scoring average.
Maverick McNealy (20/1)
Mav McNealy has played a lot of good golf since the new season began late last year. Since missing the cut at the Fortinet Championship, the 27-year-old has finished T-10, T-12, T-18, T-10, T-27, T-7, and T-31 (Farmers) in seven official events.
McNealy didn’t have his best stuff at Pebble last year finishing T-33, however, in 2021 he grabbed solo second behind Daniel Berger and T-5 in 2020.
Keith Mitchell (40/1)
Keith Mitchell had a solid showing in the desert a few weeks ago, tying for 22nd at The American Express. Last season, the Georgia Bulldog tied for 12th at Pebble.
Jordan Spieth (12/1)
You might be wary about putting Jordan Spieth on your card this week after he missed the cut in his last start at the Sony Open. However, Spieth missed the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open last year before finishing second at Pebble the following week.
His success at this event spans most of his career: T-3 (2021), T-9 (2020), T-20 (2018), 1st (2017), T-7 (2015) and T-4 (2014).
