2026 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am predictions: PGA odds, picks, preview, best bets
Most sports fans look at the week after the Super Bowl as an opportunity to take a deep breath.The PGA Tour schedule suggests otherwise.The 2026 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, the first “Signature Event” of the campaign, comes our way this week, and we will finally get our first truly star-studded field of the season.Scottie Scheffler is in his usual perch atop the betting odds, but for the first time this year, he’ll have to contend with Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood.Scheffler is +320 to win the event, putting him well ahead of defending champion McIlroy (13/1), Fleetwood (24/1), Justin Rose (27/1), and Si Woo Kim (27/1).New Jersey native Chris Gotterup, who already has two wins this season after taking home last week’s Waste Management, is 32/1 at bet365 Sportsbook.This field is loaded with star power, but Pebble Beach does have a track record of producing some long-shot winners.
Wyndham Clark (2024), Tom Hoge (2022), Nick Taylor (2020), and Ted Potter Jr.(2018) all cashed at big prices when they lifted the trophy.We’ll see if we can find the next long-shot winner at this iconic course.
