2019 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am field: How to qualify, earn exemptions

FOLLOW: iHEART | TUNEIN


The 2019 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am field is one of the most popular events on the PGA Tour. With professionals teamed up with amateurs of various celebrity status, as well business elites, this is a great week to make new friends and connections.

The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am exemption criteria tend to use the PGA Tour's existing priority order to determine the 156-player field.

While the field has some exemptions, this is typically a straightforward entry. However, the PGA Tour doesn't set the pro-am teams for the event. The event hosts do that, while the PGA Tour sets up the tee times each day.

AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am qualifying and exemption categories

  1. Winners of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am before 2000 and winners of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in the last five years
  2. Winners of the four majors and The Players before 2000 and winners of the four majors and The Players in the last five years
  3. Remaining players are certainly drawn from the PGA Tour current priority order the Friday before the tournament
