The West Coast Swing’s second Pro-Am is here as we head to the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in sunny Pebble Beach, California. This golf paradise is a favorite each season, as we get to see some of the most beautiful golf courses in the United States. 

Previously a three-course event, recent iterations will be taking place at Pebble Beach Golf Links and Spyglass Hill Golf Course. Our last multi-course event of the year is also a signature event with just an 80 man field and no-cut. As always, when looking at your lineups, make sure to take advantage of our PGA DFS Projections, PGA DFS Ownership, and PGA DFS Lineup Optimizer to get every advantage you can.

Let's dive in!

 

 

AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am 2026: Daily Fantasy Golf Picks & Projections

Being a signature event and a Pro-Am, this will present yet another interesting challenge. This 80-man field will compete for a $20,000,000 purse and 700 FedEx cup points. 

Historically, the winning score at this event almost always comes within a couple of strokes of 20 under par with even the weather shortened year of 2024 coming in at -17. This event used to be skipped by many players, due to the pro-am format and long rounds limiting excitement of the players. The switch to this being a signature event means that this is one of the strongest events of the beginning of the season. 

 

 

Pebble Beach Golf Links and Spyglass Hills Golf Course: Course Breakdown This Week

Let’s start with Spyglass Hills this week. Spyglass Hills will be playing at just over 7,000 yards and playing at a Par of 72. While we do not have any ShotLink data for Spyglass Hills, we can still glean some insights from the course. 

Spyglass will give us 4 Par 3’s, 10 Par 4’s, and 4 Par 5’s. The longest of the Par 3’s plays just over 200 yards and the shortest will be playing at only 130 yards. Each of the Par 5’s plays essentially 550 yards or more and all but 1 Par 4 will play at 400 or more yards. 

Pebble Beach Golf Links will play just under 7,000 yards and a par of 72. While we do see a similar breakdown in terms of the number of holes at the specific pars, we do see a clear difference in terms of the consistency of yardage. 

The longest par 3 at each course is roughly the same, but the 106-yard par 3 7th hole at Pebble Beach plays nearly 25 yards shorter than the shortest Par 3 at Spyglass. Pebble also features the longest Par 4 of the event, but also the shortest par 4’s. 

Pebble’s calling card is its greens, where we see some of the smallest greens on tour as they average nearly 3,500 square feet. Given the small greens, Strokes Gained: Around-The-Green will play a very large part in our breakdown. Additionally, given the layout here, this course often sees one of the shortest average driving distance numbers on tour by nearly 20 yards.

As with most coastal courses, the wind will heavily come into play. Interestingly, even though Spyglass Hill has fewer holes on the water and more holes with tree cover, high winds often make this the harder of the two courses. 

The scoring average on both courses is just over par, but as we see given the winning scores, it’s still very possible to go low here. At the time of writing, the weather is projected to be rather mild with temps in the mid 50's. While we shouldn’t see much fluctuation in terms of temperature, rain is currently projected on both Saturday and Sunday and wind will be a factor all week. 

With this all in mind, we will be focusing on some different statistics than usual. Course history remains important given the unique event and the correlation we’ve seen to success historically. Many of the traditional driving statistics are less of a factor given the propensity to lay up off the tee here. 

As a result, Good Drives Gained will likely play a large role given the approach shots are factored into this as well. We will be focusing on approach shots shorter than 150 yards, as the distance and layout lead these to play a larger factor given that the 2024 iteration of the event saw over 40 percent of approach shots fall into this bucket. 

Strokes Gained: Approach was the only major statistic that had a larger-than-average correlation to Total Strokes Gained in the last two seasons, with Strokes Gained: Putting being the only statistic that saw a similar to average correlation. Lastly, Par 4 scoring on holes between 350-450 will see larger importance as well, given that 40 percent of holes fall into this bucket between the two courses. Given the distance of the course, the 100-150 yard bucket will play a major factor, as will scoring in windy conditions on short courses.

 

 

Pebble Beach Pro-Am 2026 Field: Golf DFS

Given the 80-man field, this event sees a strong field in terms of talent. Eight of the top ten players in the Official World Golf Rank will appear in this event, with Scottie Scheffler and 2025 Champion Rory McIlroy. 

All but 10 players in the field are ranked inside the top 100 in the OWGR as well, so this field projects to be very competitive. The only top 20 player who is absent is Justin Thomas, who is dealing with an injury.

Each of our winners in the 2026 season will be here as well as previous AT&T Pro-Am winners Wyndham Clark, Justin Rose, Tome Hoge, Nick Taylor, and Jordan Spieth. We do see a handful of players making their debut here as well. Even in a short field, we should see some unique lineups in play.

GOLF DFS PICKS THIS WEEK: Top Tier

Rory McIlroy ($12,300 FanDuel/$11,500 DraftKings)

The 2025 Champion highlights my favorites in the field, in what should be a shocker to no one. Rory had an amazing 2025, with 4 wins, including his Masters win that locked up the career grand slam, but he ended the year strong as well. He's started 2026 off solid, with a T3 in his debut in Dubai. He clearly knows how to play at Pebble, and his strong all around game makes him a no-brainer at a discount from Scottie.

Tommy Fleetwood ($11,600 FanDuel/$10,200 DraftKings)

Shockingly, Fleetwood ended up finishing 2nd in my model this week. I was fully expecting Rory (4th in my model), but Tommy ranks top 10 in the field in most key metrics, and even his “worst” stat is still in the top 3rd of the field. He's making his PGA Tour debut here, but has played solid here in the past, and should the weather forecast stay, he's got a ton of experience in these conditions.

Russell Henley ($11,300 FanDuel/$9,200 DraftKings)

Henley is another top finisher in my model, coming in 3rd. Henley doesn't need much explanation. He's a “boring” golfer. He keeps it in play, hits it close, and putts well. That has lead to top 5 bogey avoidance numbers and top 20 scoring numbers. In an event like this, at a venue that suits his game, he has to be in contention at the top of your builds this week.

 

 

GOLF DFS PICKS THIS WEEK: MID-TIER

Jason Day ($10,600 FanDuel/$8,500 DraftKings)

Day is one of those player who statistically may not line up perfectly for an event, but when he plays as well as he does as Pebble, you throw that out the window and pick him anyway. He's made 15 starts here, never missed the cut, and has 9 top 10 finishes, 3 top 15 finishes, and just 2 finishes outside the top 25. Not to mention he's started the season strong in 2026 as well.

Robert MacIntyre ($10,000 FanDuel/$8,200 DraftKings)

As a noted MacIntyre fader, it should be notable that he found his way into an article. MacIntyre is another player who shines in poor weather, and if the forecast stays, he's going to be hard to compete with. His approach game is his biggest weakness, but remains in the top half of this field in my identified stats. His scoring and bogey avoidance numbers being strong as well means I'm actually in on him this week.

J.J. Spaun ($9,500 FanDuel/$7,800 DraftKings)

Spaun is no worse than 24th in any identified metric, plays well on short courses, and his disappointing start to 2026 should make his rostership much lower than expected. All of these culminate into me being in on him as a piece to watch this week. If his game comes back together, we've got legit winner upside at projected sub 15 percent rostership.

 

 

GOLF DFS PICKS THIS WEEK: VALUE TIER

Pierceson Coody ($8,600 FanDuel/$7,600 DraftKings)

I've been huge on Coody since the season started, and that's not stopping any time soon at this rate. Sure, he's got his warts. He's in the bottom 20 of the field off the tee and on approach and that's the calling card of this event. That being said, over the last 36 round, he's been the single best scorer and avoider of bogeys in the field. When the top 10 players in the world are in the field, that feels notable.

Keegan Bradley ($8,300 FanDuel/$7,500 DraftKings)

Captain America being this cheap feels mean. His only issue is his putting on Poa, but all other aspects of his game shine to the level that if his putting on Poa is roughly average in this field, he jumps to 4th in my model (he's still at 10th). I'm all over him at this discounted price.

Ryo Hisatsune ($7,800 FanDuel/$6,800 DraftKings)

Every time I've thrown Hisatsune in my lineup, he's made me money this year. He's remarkably average on paper, but in a good way. He has no major warts, and is top 3 in bogey avoidance over the last 36 rounds. At this price? Sign me up.
