AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am 2026 - Contenders based on current form
The world number one went close to making it two wins from two appearances in 2026 last week but had to settle for third. He will be raring to go at a venue where he previously finished ninth and, prior to that, sixth.
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.
One man who has won two tournaments already this year is Chris Gotterup who took last week's Phoenix Open title just three weeks after triumphing at the Sony Open. Winning back to back is notoriously difficult but in this kind of form, can we afford to ignore the American?
AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am 2026 - Contenders based on course form
The Masters champion returns to PGA Tour action as defending champion this week and would love to register his first tournament win of 2026. Prior to his victory by two shots here 12 months ago, he finished 66th in 2024 and six years earlier he missed the cut, so he'll be hoping to produce something more akin to his 2025 game in '26.
One man whose record leaves us in no doubt about his affinity for Pebble Beach is Justin Rose who was third last year and 11th prior to that when defending the title he won in 2023. He arrives with the added bonus of current form after winning the Farmers two weeks ago.
The combination of a big price and consistent course form leads us to the Australian. He was 13th last year, six before that and between 2018 and 2020 was in the top five hree years on the trot. What's more, he was a runner-up at the American Express last month.
