EVENT: AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am (Thur-Sun)
WHY WE’LL WATCH: The champion will be crowned on the first no-football Sunday ☹️ since September on a postcard course with crashing waves.
COURSE INFO: All 154 players and pro-am partners will play at Pebble Beach, Spyglass and Monterey Peninsula. They’re all relatively short and the cool climate reduces ball flight. The Top 60 and ties play Pebble again on Sunday. The greens are tiny, but the region has received 20 inches of rain ☔ this year, so crisply struck irons will hold.
FAVES: With only five of the world’s top 30 in the field, Matt Fitzpatrick (+1100), Viktor Hovland (+1200) and Jordan Spieth (+1200) lead the charge.
BET TO CONSIDER: Spieth Top 10 (+150): He has six top-10 finishes in 10 tries and had the guts to try that cliffside approach on No. 8 last year.
