The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is the first of this season's PGA Tour Signature Events with a stellar field teeing it up in California this weekend.

Rory McIlroy returns to Pebble Beach to defend his title after a two-stroke victory over Shane Lowry in 2025. 

These are our four selections that could win the title this weekend, which also features LIV Golf Adelaide.

Russell Henley 


Russell Henley has been in solid form on the PGA Tour in his last six tournaments, placing T17 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, T15 at the BMW Championship, T2 at the Tour Championship, T19 at the Procore Championship, T19 at the Sony Open in Hawaii and T8 at the recent American Express.

Other prominent performances achieved by Henley last season include a T10 at the Sony Open in Hawaii, a T5 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, a T6 at the Cognizant Classic, a victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, a T8 at the RBC Heritage, a T5 at the Memorial Tournament, a T10 at the U.S. Open, a T2 at the Travelers Championship, and a T10 at the Open Championship. 

The world's fifth-ranked player has featured six times at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, finishing T52 in 2014, MC in 2016, T15 in 2018, MC in 2019, T58 in 2024, and T5 in 2025. 

Henley has the game to beat the rest of the field and win the title in California.

Viktor Hovland


Viktor Hovland has been performing well on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour since mid-August, placing T7 at the BMW Championship, 12th at the Tour Championship, T5 at the BMW PGA Championship, T6 at the DP World India Championship, T23 at the Nedbank Golf Challenge, T14 at the Dubai Desert Classic and T10 at the WM Phoenix Open last weekend. 

Other notable results achieved by Hovland last season include a T22 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, a victory at the Valspar Championship, a T21 at the Masters, a T13 at the RBC Heritage, a T25 at the Memorial Tournament, a 3rd at the U.S. Open and a T11 at the Genesis Scottish Open. 

The seven-time PGA Tour winner has contested the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on four occasions, finishing T38 in 2020, T13 in 2023, T58 in 2024, and T22 in 2025. 

Hovland comes into this event in great shape and will fancy his chances to secure the title at Pebble Beach come Sunday. 

Si Woo Kim


Si Woo Kim has been in ultra-consistent form on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour in his last nine starts.

He has placed T5 at the BMW PGA Championship, T20 at the Baycurrent Classic, T21 at the Genesis Championship, T4 at the RSM Classic, 3rd at the Crown Australian Open, T11 at the Sony Open in Hawaii, T6 at the American Express, T2 at the Farmers Insurance Open and T3 at the WM Phoenix Open last weekend.

Other noteworthy results achieved by Si Woo Kim last season include a T24 at the Genesis Invitational, a T19 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, a T8 at the RBC Heritage, a T15 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, a T17 at the Truist Championship, a T8 at the PGA Championship, a T14 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship and a T19 at the BMW Championship.

The three-time PGA Tour winner has made eight appearances at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, with results of MC in 2013, T35 in 2016, MC in 2017, T4 in 2019, MC in 2020, MC in 2021, T14 in 2024 and 12th in 2025. 

Kim has been in fine fettle and can take home the winner's cheque in California this weekend.

Michael Thorbjornsen


Michael Thorbjornsen has been in decent nick on the PGA Tour since mid-October, placing 3rd at the Baycurrent Classic, T37 at the Bank of Utah Championship, T31 at the World Wide Technology Championship, T7 at the RSM Classic, T18 at the Farmers Insurance Open and T3 at the WM Phoenix Open last weekend. 

Additional highlights achieved by Thorbjornsen last season include a T4 at the Corales Puntacana Championship, a T4 at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, a T4 at the Rocket Classic, a T21 at the John Deere Classic, a T14 at the ISCO Championship, and a T13 at the Procore Championship.

The 24-year-old will make his debut at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am this weekend.

Thorbjornsen has the form to cause an upset victory on the greens at Pebble Beach this weekend.
