AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am tips and predictions

The Punter's Preview: Straka chanced at Pebble Beach 

Steve Rawlings: I've had a small bet on the prolific Austrian, Sepp Straka, who won twice on the PGA Tour last year.

Straka has started 2026 slowly, missing the cut when defending his American Express title before finishing 18^th last week in Phoenix but that was as close to th elead as he was all week after a 71 in round one.

Straka, who finished second in the Open Championship in 2023, led this event by three at halfway and by a stroke with 18 to play last year before a 72 to on Sunday saw him slip to seventh but that was his first start after he'd won the American Express so it wasn't a surprise to see him run out of steam.

He'll need to putt better than he has in his first two outings but he's being a little dismissed by the market at odds in excess of 66/167.00.

Each-way Picks: Back Henley to hit heights again at 30/131.00

Dave Tindall: There still seems to be a debate over just how good Russell Henley is but he isn't No.6 in the world rankings for nothing. And yet his position in the odds always suggest he's not as good as that. In other words, he offers value and having cashed in on him at 40/1 when he won the Arnold Palmer Invitational last year - another Signature Event - I'll take him here at 30/1.

As a shorter hitter, two courses around 7,000 yards definitely aid his chances and having posted 16th here in the US Open way back in 2010, he produced his best finish in six AT&Ts when fifth last year. He was also 15th on his fourth start in the event.

Last year he really cashed in at Spyglass Hill with a 64 and should face similar, scoreable conditions this time. He later closed with a 5-under 67 at Pebble Beach... Perhaps the easiest way to sell Henley is that he very rarely has a bad event these days.

First Round Leader Tips: Back 30/131.00 birdie machine at Spyglass

Dave Tindall: I'll also have one bet at Spyglass Hill and, with scoring set to be low, let's get an absolute birdie machine on board.

Harry Hall ranked 1st for Birdie or Better Conversion Percentage last year as well as Putts Per round in Round 1. Also 3rd for Birdie Average and Par Breakers, Hall twice had a piece of the first-round lead in 2025.

This year he's already fired two 65s and two 66s in his three starts.

The Englishman, who grew up playing golf by the coast, has made both cuts in this event and opened with a 65 on debut in 2023, even though that was at Monterey Peninusla, a course no longer used in this event.

But the 65 did come in calm conditions to suggest he could perform a similar act on day one at Spyglass. Hall tees off at 10:29 from the 1st at Sypglass. 

Find Me a 100 Winner: Previous champ can go well at huge odds

Steve Rawlings: I was sorely tempted to put up the 2020 AT&T winner, Nick Taylor, who has now won in each of the last three years on the PGA Tour and five times in total.

The 37-year-old Canadian is prolific enough to chance at a triple-figure price, despite not putting brilliantly lately, but instead I've plumped for the 2022 winner, Tom Hoge, who's an even bigger price.

The 36-year-old American's victory here is his sole success on the PGA Tour to date but it wouldn't be as big a surprise as the market suggests if he was to double up here.

Hoge putts very nicely and his form figures at Pebble over the last five years now read 12-1-48-6-17.

As many as 13 players have won the event at least twice and Hoge is very fairly priced to become the 14^th to achieve the feat.

Place order to lay 8 Us @ 10.09/1 and 12 Us @ 2.01/1

Course and current form stats

Current Form Pick:

The Japanese star finished second last week, losing in a play-off, and was building on his 11th-placed finish at the Farmers at the previous week, with a 13th at the Sony the week before. On the flipside, he doesn't have a good record here - finishing 48th last year and 71st prior to that - but on current form he is one to consider.
