AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Golf Tournament

The PGA Tour's AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am was originally founded by entertainer Bing Crosby in the late 1930s, and up until the mid-1980s had Crosby's name attached. It is the most popular pro-am involving celebrities in the tour's history. The tournament is played over three courses in Pebble Beach, Calif., with the final round always at Pebble Beach Golf Links.

The tournament takes place early in the year as part of the PGA Tour's "California swing," typically in February. Amateurs in the field play the first three rounds, then the amateur field is cut to just the top 20 pro-am teams. So 20 amateurs are still playing with their pros even in the final round.

2020 Tournament
Third-round leader Nick Taylor scored a 70 in the final round, which was good enough to pull away for a four-stroke victory. Phil Mickelson entered the final round in second place and going for a record sixth win in this event, but shot 74 and finished third. The runner-up, Kevin Streelman, finished at 272, the champion Taylor at 268.

2019 Tournament

Phil Mickelson won this tournament for the fifth time, tying Mark O'Meara's tournament record. Mickelson's previous wins were in 1998, 2005, 2007 and 2012. Mickelson entered the final round trailing leader Paul Casey, but shot 65 to Casey's 71. Mickelson finished at 19-under 268, three better than runner-up Casey.

2018 Tournament
A 62 in the third round provided the cushion Ted Potter Jr. needed to hold on for the win. Potter shot 69 in Round 4 and finished at 17-under 270, three strokes better than runners-up Phil Mickelson, Chez reavie, Jason Day and Dustin Johnson.

AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Trivia and Notes

• Entertainer Bing Crosby founded this tournament in 1937, almost as much a friendly gathering as a tournament. Over the years, the tournament was nicknamed "the Crosby Clambake."
• The first tournament was only one round in duration; it went to two rounds from 1938-1942; then to three rounds in 1947; and four rounds in 1958.
• Bing Crosby's name was always part of the tournament's name until 1985. Crosby died in 1977, and his name was dropped from the title when AT&T became the title sponsor in 1986.
• Sam Snead won the first two playings of the tournament, and won twice more. His win in 1937 was over one round; in 1938 and 1941 over two rounds; and in 1950, over three rounds, he tied for the win with Jack Burke Jr., Smiley Quick and Dave Douglas (there was no playoff).
• Mark O'Meara won the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am a record five times (1985, 1989-90, 1992, 1997). With his fifth win in 2019, Phil Mickelson tied O'Meara's record.
• Back-to-back champions are Sam Snead (1937-38), Cary Middlecoff (1955-56), Jack Nicklaus (1972-73), Tom Watson (1977-78), Mark O'Meara (1989-90) and Dustin Johnson (2009-10).
• Johnny Miller's final PGA Tour victory came in this event in 1994.
• From 2002-2005, the defending champion missed the cut each year - Davis Love III in 2002 and 2004; Matt Gogel in 2003; Vijay Singh in 2005.
• The record-low score by a pro-am team is 43-under par. The pro was Paul Stankowski and the amateur was actor Andy Garcia. They set the record in 1997.
