The PGA Tour heads to the Monterey Peninsula in northern California this week for the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Pebble Beach Golf Links headlines a three-course rotation, while a 156-professional field plays their tournament concurrently with a pro-am competition.
Jordan Spieth and Jason Day headline the field, while Brandt Snedeker defends this title for the second time in three years.
Here are our top five players for this week:
1. Jordan Spieth — He’s the best on the planet and great in this event. He’s been T-4 and T-7 here the last two years, and his scoring average is best among players with at least 30 rounds in this event.
2. Brandt Snedeker — Two-time champion here, defending champion and a winner at Torrey Pines. Started the year T3-P2-1. Not bad.
3. Dustin Johnson — Two-time winner here, although one came in 54-hole fashion. Been in the top 10 the last two years here and off to a pretty solid start overall.
4. Phil Mickelson — Four-time champion here and all-time money winner. T-3 at CareerBuilder to start the year and T-11 at Phoenix. Skip over the Torrey Pines MC, he was still angry about not getting the North Course redesign gig.
5. Jimmy Walker — Walker has been in the top 15 here in four of the last five years, and he was the winner here in 2014. He hasn’t finished outside of the top 13 in three starts this year. Had a chance to win at Torrey.
