For a third straight week, we have a PGA TOUR event played over two courses.
Here on the annual visit to the beautiful Monterey Peninsula in California, it actually used to be three.
But this year’s tournament is a leaner offering all around.
With it elevated to a Signature Event, the field is just 80 (there is no cut).
And those who want their fix of watching waves crash into the walls surrounding the iconic 18th hole will be pleased to know that Pebble Beach Golf Links stages three of the four rounds, including both weekend laps.
Spyglass Hill, which has fewer holes that run along the ocean, shares hosting duties for the first two days. Both courses are short par 72s.
Scottie Scheffler makes his much-anticipated first start of 2025 following a hand injury and is the clear favorite to open with a win.
Last year’s event was reduced to just 54 holes due to inclement weather but Mother Nature looks set to be kinder this week.
Amateurs are part of the deal too although they step aside and leave it the pros on the weekend.
Year | Champion, nationality, winning score and venue |
---|---|
2024 | Wyndham Clark (United States) -17 (54 holes) |
2023 | Justin Rose (England) -18 |
2022 | Tom Hoge (United States) -19 |
2021 | Daniel Berger (United States) -18 |
2020 | Nick Taylor (Canada) -19 |
Pebble Beach Golf Links is a par 72 that measures 6,972 yards
Spyglass Hill is a par 72 that measures 7,041 yards
Pebble’s Poa annua grass greens are the smallest on the PGA TOUR
Winds are set to be modest this year

He’s back! The start to Scheffler’s 2025 season has been delayed due to the most unlikely of circumstances: cutting his right hand while preparing Christmas dinner. Minor surgery was needed so it remains to be seen whether we’ll see the Scheffler who in 2024 won nine times, struck gold in the Olympics and captured The Masters. Sixth on his tournament debut here last year.

McIlroy kick-started his year with a fast-finishing fourth in the Dubai Desert Classic, ranking 5th Off The Tee and 4th Tee To Green. But on a Pebble Beach course that takes driver (his main strength) out of hands so often and relies on precise wedge play (not a strength), is this Rory’s course? He did finish ninth here at the 2019 US Open in firmer conditions but at this event his two finishes are missed cut (2018) and 66th (2024).

A local Californian, Morikawa is a big performer on his home patch. His last 11 starts in California show a win, a second, a third, a fourth, a sixth and three other top 20s. He was 14th in the rain-shortened edition of this event last year while his only appearance so far in 2025 resulted in second place at The Sentry (3rd SG: Approach, 6th SG: Putting).

After a sticky patch in his career, Justin Thomas is playing at an elite level again.
The signs were there at the end of 2024 when he finished runner-up in the ZOZO Championship and added solo third at the Hero World Challenge.
A 26th at The Sentry showed a little rust but he followed that immediately with second place in The American Express.
Now it’s time to take the final step and get an overdue ‘W’.
An improvement with the putter has played a big part in his resurgence and he’s ranked 14th (Sentry) and 10th (American Express) for Strokes Gained: Putting in his two events so far.
It may be seen as more light-hearted but Thomas’ putting was also the talk of the TGL indoor event when he helped his Atlanta team to a 4-0 win over New York.
JT has a great record in California with four top sixes in his last five events in the Golden State.
The sixth was in this event last year and Pebble is a course that really plays to his strengths given how often it requires approaches from 150 yards.
Back Thomas each-way at 14/1 (1/4, 5 places) with bet365.

Last week’s 72-hole match bet was frustrating as +150 Jason Day tied with Hideki Matsuyama after both birdied the last.
This week I’m going to focus on two Europeans and back Tommy Fleetwood to take down Ryder Cup teammate Viktor Hovland.
Fleetwood is an ideal man for match bets right now having reeled off 10 straight worldwide top 25 finishes, beginning with his second place at last summer’s Olympics in Paris.
He struck the ball extremely well (3rd for Approach) when 21st in the Dubai Desert Classic on his first start of the season.
But while Fleetwood is in a groove, Hovland is searching.
Coach changes highlight the problem and so far in 2025 he’s had to settle for a midfield finish at The Sentry followed by a missed cut in Dubai (75-73).
Fleetwood finished in front of Hovland here last year (31st to 58th) and looks a strong bet to do so again.
Back the Englishman at -143 with bet365.

Thomas Detry has made his mark early in 2025 with fifth place at The Sentry and 15th at Torrey Pines last week.
The Belgian is a strong performer by the coast and showed that with fourth place at Pebble Beach last year.
In a field of just 80, the +600 at Caesars Sportsbook for a top 10 makes plenty of appeal.
