After a quick swing to Arizona for last week, the PGA Tour is back in the Golden State for back-to-back Signature Events to close out the West Coast swing. This week’s tournament uses two separate courses for the first two rounds as the 80 professionals play alongside 80 amateurs. The amateurs wrap up after Round 2, with all 80 professionals finishing the final two rounds at Pebble Beach Golf Links, which is known for its sweeping Pacific vistas, volatile weather conditions and very small greens. Last year, Rory McIlroy claimed the first of his three 2025 PGA TOUR victories at this Signature Event, holding on to win by two strokes over Shane Lowry in an action-packed Final Round.
Below, I have featured my three favorite bets for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Big Guns (Scheffler/McIlroy/Fleetwood/S.W. Kim/Schauffele/Hovland/Gotterup/Young) (+105) vs. the Field
If you’re looking for an even-money play that has a great chance to hit this week, you can back the “Big Guns” against the field. Not only do you get World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and defending champion Rory McIlroy, you also get reigning FedExCup Champion Tommy Fleetwood, the red-hot Si Woo Kim, and two-time winner in 2025 Chris Gotterup. Xander Schauffele, Viktor Hovland and Cameron Young are also included on the “Big Guns” side of things, leaving the field led by Justin Rose, Maverick McNealy, Russell Henley and Ben Griffin.
The 72-player “field” side of things is still slightly favored, but with Scheffler looking so dominant lately and the other top players trying to chase him down, I think one of the big guns gets the win this week. The course layout is so demanding, especially if the weather kicks up, that the top golfers in the world typically rise to the top.
The event has had some “surprise” winners in the past, but that was due to the weaker field before the format change. In 2024, Wyndham Clark won the weather-abbreviated 2024, but last year, the top 10 was packed with the Big Guns at the time. While it’s not a lock, I’d definitely back this top group over the rest of the field this week.
Group F Winner – Shane Lowry (+325)
Lowry is in Group F this week with Pierceson Coody (+310), Rickie Fowler (+310), Min Woo Lee (+330) and Keegan Bradley (+370). Lowry is making his first PGA Tour start of the year, but I think he has a good shot of a high finish at Pebble Beach.
The 38-year-old from Ireland finished solo runner-up to Rory last year, when he was playing the tournament for the first time in six years. Before missing the cut in 2019 (back when there was one), he made the cut in his previous four trips to Pebble Beach, including two top-25 finishes.
While he hasn’t teed it up on the PGA TOUR since the TOUR Championship and the Ryder Cup, he played four events on the DP World Tour last fall, with three top-15 finishes, including a T3 at the DP World India Championship. He also started 2026 with a pair of strong finishes, finishing with a T3 at the Dubai Invitational and T26 at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic. His game fits the links-ish, windy, coastal conditions expectedt his week, and I think he’ll edn up ahead of the rest of this group.
Here’s a quick rundown of the rest of the group: Coody is red hot but is making his tournament debut. Fowler has two top-25 finishes this season, but he hasn’t finished in the top-25 in five trips to Pebble Beach, including two missed cuts. Min Woo Lee is an interesting sleeper but missed two cuts at this event. before a T17 last year. He’s finished outside the top 25 in his first two events even though he made the cut in his first two PGA TOUR events this season.
Jason Day Top-10 finish including ties (+305)
Day has an absolutely amazing course history at Pebble Beach with many close calls but never an actual victory. Counting the 2019 U.S. Open, Day has played 16 events at Pebble Beach, and he’s posted 14 top-25 finishes. He has nine top-10 finished during his career at this tournament, and he comes back to the track this year with some good form after a strong start to 2026.
He started 2026 with a T2 behind Scheffler at The American Express, and over the last 12 rounds, the 38-year-old ranks in the top 15 in this strong field in Strokes Gained: Approach, Total Strokes Gained, and Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green. Day may not quite have what it takes to beat out all the Big Guns at the top of this post, but he definitely can contend on this track he knows so well, and his recent form is enough for me to back him for a top-10 finish at just over 3:1.
