The PGA Tour heads north from San Diego to California’s Monterey Peninsula for the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am this week. Welcoming some of the biggest names not only in the game of golf but also in the world of entertainment, competitors will be partnered with celebrities such as Jake Owen, Gareth Bale, Josh Allen, Aaron Rodgers and more.
With that much foot traffic expected, three golf courses will be used. Pebble Beach Golf Links, Spyglass Hills and the Shore Course at Monterey Peninsula Country Club will host, with Pebble Beach featured twice, including during the final round after the 54-hole cut.
Leading the action is world number 16 Jordan Spieth, who has dominated Pebble Beach throughout his career. Winning in 2017, the Texan may be best remembered for hitting an iron just feet from the rocks on the eighth hole at that tournament a season ago. Ultimately falling short with Tom Hoge, Spieth will be looking for exact revenge and continue his strong play at Pebble Beach.
Spieth and Hoge are joined by Europeans Matt Fitzpatrick, Victor Hovland and Seamus Power. Hovland has his own history at Pebble Beach, taking a US Amateur win at the venue in 2018. He’ll be hoping the good vibes continue; despite a trove of wins around the world, Hovland remains winless on the PGA Tour since November 2021.

2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Field Odds
Odds provided by Caesars Sportsbook
- Matt Fitzpatrick (10-1)
- Jordan Spieth (11-1): The last time we saw Spie, he was busy going from first place to missing out on the Sony Open. He returns to action in a comfortable location, having played in Pebble Beach every season since 2013. In that span, not only does he have a win to his name, but he’s never missed the cut and boasts five top-10 finishes, including a runner-up finish in 2022 and a T3 in 2021. Spieth remains an enigma and could just as well easy to win however much he misses the cut, but given his history in this spot, you have to imagine a former could be on the cards this week.
- Victor Hovland (12-1): This will be just Hovland’s second professional appearance at Pebble Beach (he finished T38 in his only start in 2020). Returning to the site of his greatest amateur victory, the Norwegian has quietly been playing very consistent golf. After The Open, where he played in the final group during the final round alongside Rory McIlroy, Hovland made it 12 times, finishing no worse than T34 with four top-10 finishes and a Hero World Challenge win.
- The Power of Sheamus (16-1)
- Maverick McNeely (18-1): Growing up playing Pebble Beach, McNeely is always noteworthy in his backyard. Among the PGA Tour’s top handful of players still winless, the Stanford product’s call came here in 2021 when he finished solo second to Daniel Berger. Although he can struggle from tee to green, McNeely more than makes up for it on the greens. Over the past six months, he ranks first in putouts, second in scrambles and third in birdies or better among those in the field.
- Tom Hoge (20-1): The defending champion limped to the finish line in 2021-22 but looks like his normal self in 2023. In nine starts this season, Hoge has five top-15 finishes, including an impressive T3 in his Tour of Champions debut. On the outskirts of the Ryder Cup, a successful defense of that title would go a long way toward securing a surprise spot on Team USA for Rome. Hoge ranks first in putts gained, second in 100-125 yards and fifth in birdies or better over the past six months, so it’s certainly not out of the realm of possibility.
- Andrew Putnam (20-1)
- Keith Mitchell (28-1)
- Justin Rose (35-1): It’s been a quietly encouraging start to 2023 for the former world No.1. Capturing a T26 finish at The American Express, Rose backed it up at Torrey Pines with a T18 effort. Looking to extend that quality in California, the Englishman returns to Pebble Beach for the fifth time in his career. He finished T6 in the 2016 edition of this tournament and T3 at the 2019 US Open, demonstrating a level of comfort few have in such an intimate property.
