PGA Tour Brunch | AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am
First Round Preview of this week's PGA Tour event at Pebble Beach Golf Links
By TERRY LYONS
PEBBLE BEACH - AT&T brand ambassador and 2017 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am champion Jordan Spieth has six Top-10s at this event since making his debut in 2013. That is second-best of any player during that span - with the other being Jason Day with seven Top 10s.
In the last two years, Spieth has a runner-up (2022) and a T-3 (2021), and has finished outside the Top 25 only once in 10 prior starts (T-45/2019).
The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is one of four events outside of the major championships and the FedEx Cup Playoffs that Spieth has played every year it’s been contested since the start of the 2013 season.
The last two PGA Tour titles were won by players who had already won the 2022-23 PGA Tour season, with Jon Rahm winning The American Express (after a win at the Sentry Tournament of Champions) and Max Homa winning the Farmers Insurance Open after the Fortinet Championship.
2022 Butterfield Bermuda Championship winner Seamus Power is the only player in the field that has won so far this season. Power is No. 5 in the FedEx Cup standings, the highest of any player in the field, and is making his sixth start at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Most recently, Power set the opening 36-hole tournament scoring record (128) and went on to finish T9 in 2022. Through seven events this season, Power has three top-five finishes, including his win at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship.
Stanford University alum Maverick McNealy has four Top-Fives on the Tour, with two coming at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am (T-5/2020, 2nd/2021). McNealy has three Top-10s in eight starts this season, one shy of his career-high for a season on Tour (4/2021-22).
