The 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am field was announced Friday, and it’s one of the best in the event’s history.
Sure, Pebble Beach has seen its fair share of the world’s best players to walk along the Monterey Peninsula plenty over the last century. Numerous U.S. Opens have brought stars of the game to take the famed walk.
However, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is a PGA Tour signature event this year, which means most of the big names are in the field.
Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Viktor Hovland, Xander Schauffle and more are set to tee it up next week. All in all, 18 of the world’s top 20 are in the field, which will be fully set after the conclusion of the Farmers Insurance Open.
Nick Dunlap, who last week became the first amateur to win on the PGA Tour since Phil Mickelson in 1991, will make his professional debut at Pebble Beach. Also, players like Grayson Murray and Justin Thomas are expected to be added to the field.
Unlike in the past, amateurs will only be around for the first two rounds with 80 two-person teams. Monterey Peninsula won’t be in the rotation for play this year, either, with only Pebble Beach Golf Links and Spyglass Hill being used the first two days. There will be no cut, and the purse is $20 million with $3.6 million going to the winner.
Here’s a look at the full field for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am:
