The PGA Tour season gets deeper into the West Coast Swing, with the 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am starting on Thursday with the two-course rotation at Pebble Beach Golf Links and Spyglass Hill in Pebble Beach, California.

My PGA Tour field ranking for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am looks at the top 10 players in this 80-player field that brings together the PGA Tour's top 50 from last season, current-year winners, the world top 30 and solid recent performers.

The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is a unique event in that there's a two-course rotation for the first 36 holes, which has a pro-am component. Then Pebble Beach hosts the weekend.

This tournament is always kind of tough to predict because of weather more than anything else. The targets are small, especially the greens, and bad putters are saved by poa greens that can get quite bumpy.

Just a reminder that I make my expert picks looking at all fantasy leagues and formats. Whether you're playing in a fantasy golf leagues, betting on golf, or competing in a DFS (DraftKings, FanDuel) event, our picks highlight the top PGA Tour golfers to watch this week from our 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am rankings.

2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am expert picks and rankings

1. Rory McIlroy: McIlroy finished T-4 in Dubai to start his year, and that's good enough with Scheffler coming back off injury and Xander out. But, TGL?

2. Scottie Scheffler: Scheffler makes his debut this week after his glass incident around Christmas. Who knows what we get, but it's probably pretty good.

3. Hideki Matsuyama: Hideki is already a winner this year, and Pebble is a ballstriker's course, so should be a good match.

4. Patrick Cantlay: Cantlay is the horse-for-course play this week, as he's been brilliant here in both forms of this event.

5. Collin Morikawa: Morikawa hasn't played since finishing second at The Sentry, but he should fare well this week.

6. Ludvig Aberg: Ludvig started great at Torrey, and then he caught a bug, and well, that went downhill. If he recovers, I like his chances.

7. Justin Thomas: JT had a good run at the AmEx, and there's reason to believe he's on the come this year.

8. Nick Taylor: Taylor should be on your list this week as a past winner and a current winner in 2025.

9. Jason Day: Day was T-3 at the AmEx and was in good shape at Torrey Pines until a rough final round. Great record here.

10. Maverick McNealy: McNealy has stepped up his game, and also got a good record at what he considers a home game.
