AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am: 2026 PGA Tour Betting Odds

Of course, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is favoured on the Pebble Beach Pro-Am golf odds.

In some past recent years, top guys would skip this event because rounds take forever with the Pro-Am portion (the amateurs compete with the pros for only the first two rounds), but that largely changed two years ago when the PGA Tour elevated this to a limited-field (80), big-money Signature Event – it’s the first of 2026. There is no cut.  A handful of leading Europeans led by world No. 2 Rory McIlroy are playing in the USA for the first time this year.

Any event at fabulous Pebble Beach (par 72 at 6,972 yards), which has hosted a handful of majors over the years, should be treated differently, although Spyglass Hill (par 72 at 7,041 yards) also is utilized. Golfers play one course each the first two rounds and then only Pebble on the weekend. As you can see, neither is very long but the winds off the Pacific Ocean provide some defence. And you generally don’t need to be a big hitter to win the event.

McIlroy won last year at 21-under 267 and two up on good friend Shane Lowry. McIlroy fired a final-round 6-under 66 on a day when six players had at least a share of the lead. It was Rory’s first win in this event, with the last repeat champion being current LIV golfer Dustin Johnson in  2010. Sepp Straka, who started the ’25 final round with a one-shot lead, had a 72 to slip down the board. I liked American Patrick Cantlay, and he was in the mix after Round 1 but faded to a T33.

It’s nearly a major-qualify field with 18 of the world’s Top 20; the two missing are the injured No. 12 Justin Thomas and No. 17 Patrick Reed. He left LIV and has been dominating in Europe on the DP World Tour but won’t get to play non-major PGA Tour events until 2027. McIlroy is one of seven past champions in the field.

AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Odds

Scottie Scheffler is the clear +300 favourite like usual, and it’s almost news at this point when he hasn’t won a tournament in which he has competed multiple times. It’s his third time in the event with a T9 last year and T6 in 2024. Scheffler has an amazing 17 straight Top-10 finishes on the Tour overall. No one had done that since Billy Casper in 1965.

Rory McIlroy is +1400 to repeat. It’s his fourth career start tournament in the tournament, and he didn’t play that well in the first two.  His victory last year marked his third career in his season debut on the PGA Tour as this is. Si Woo Kim (+2200), Tommy Fleetwood (+2500) and Viktor Hovland (+2500) round out the favourites.

England’s Fleetwood also makes his USA debut in 2026 and won last year’s FedExCup title on it. He captured the playoff-concluding Tour Championship, earning his first PGA Tour title in his 164th start. But Fleetwood hasn’t been better than T22 in three starts in this event.

Kim is off to a great start with four Top-11 finishes, one of just two players so far this year on Tour to have finished no worse than T20 in the first four of the year. He has been Top 15 here the past two years. Hovland made his 2026 Tour debut  last week at the WM Phoenix Open  and was T10. American Chris Gotterup won that in a one-hole playoff to become the first player on the Tour this year with multiple wins. He’s +3300 to go back-to-back in his tourney debut.

Canadian golfers have had success at this event with a few runners-up and Nick Taylor’s win in 2020. Taylor Pendrith was the top finisher last year at T9, while Nick Taylor was T33, Mackenzie Hughes T40, Corey Conners T65 and Adam Hadwin T65. Pendrith is +6600 this week (and +200 favourite at top Canadian), with Taylor +8000, Conners +10000 and Hughes +20000.

AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Predictions

Per usual I like the field against Scheffler, but that’s very pricy at -400. We’ll take England’s Justin Rose at +2800. He comes off a dominant Tour win two weeks ago and won here in 2023 with a third last year.
