Predictions for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am

Winner Prediction

Patrick Cantlay
Cantlay thrives on shorter, precision-focused courses, and his impeccable iron play and putting make him a perfect fit for Pebble Beach. With his ability to navigate challenging conditions, he’s poised to lift the trophy in this Elevated Event.

Top 10 Finishers

  1. Tom Kim
    Kim has the consistency and short-game prowess to perform well across all three courses. Expect him to be a leaderboard fixture.

  2. Max Homa
    Despite his WD at the Farmers, Homa’s skill set matches Pebble’s challenges. If healthy, he’s a lock for a top 10 finish.

  3. Jordan Spieth
    A previous Pebble Beach champion, Spieth’s creativity and experience on these courses give him a strong chance to contend once again.

Top 20 Finishers

  1. Seamus Power
    Power has proven his ability to perform on coastal layouts. His well-rounded game should place him comfortably within the top 20.

  2. Matt Fitzpatrick
    The Englishman’s tactical approach and ability to thrive in tough conditions set him up for a strong showing.

Round 1 Leader Prediction

Maverick McNealy
A Stanford graduate and a California native, McNealy’s familiarity with the area and fast starts in tournaments make him a strong pick to lead after Round 1.

 Missed Cut Predictions

  1. Rickie Fowler
    Despite showing signs of resurgence, Fowler’s inconsistency could make it tough for him to keep up in this stacked Elevated Event field.

  2. Taylor Montgomery
    Montgomery’s raw talent is undeniable, but the precision required at Pebble Beach could expose weaknesses in his short game.

What to Watch For

  • Weather: Pebble Beach is known for unpredictable weather. Wind and rain could play a major role in scoring this week.
  • Amateur Performances: The celebrity element adds an extra layer of entertainment, but it also impacts pace of play and conditions.
  • Elevated Stakes: With the increased purse, expect the top players to bring their A-game in pursuit of crucial FedEx Cup points.
