AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am Winners and Records | PGA Tour

In 1937, Bing Crosby hosted the first National Pro-Am Golf Championship in Southern California at Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe. Sam Snead won the first tournament, then just 18 holes, with a winner’s share of $500. A second round was added in 1938 and was played through 1942. After the war, it resumed in 1947 as a 54-hole event, up the coast on golf courses near Monterey, where it has been played ever since. Beginning that year, it was played at Pebble Beach Golf Links, Cypress Point Club, and Monterey Peninsula Country Club until 1966, which still today are some of the nicest courses in all of golf.  In 1958 the tournament became a 72-hole event.

In 1967, Spyglass Hill replaced Monterey Peninsula CC as the third course (with the exception of 1977, when it returned to MPCC). In 1991, the private Cypress Point Club was dropped by the PGA Tour because it would not admit an African-American member, and was replaced as a tournament venue by Poppy Hills, which hosted through 2009. Poppy Hills was not well received by the players, primarily due to poor drainage, and Monterey Peninsula CC returned to the rotation in 2010.

Fun Fact: Gene Littler holds a unique record in this event. When he won the 1975 event, it marked the only time that a player had won this particular event as a professional after having previously won the pro-amateur portion, which Littler did as a 23-year-old amateur in 1954.

Format:

Conducted as a planned 72-hole event, 1958–present. Exceptions are as follows:

  • 18 holes: 1937
  • 36 holes – planned: 1938 to 1942
  • 36 holes – due to bad weather: 1952
  • 54 holes – planned: 1947 to 1951, 1953 to 1957
  • 54 holes – due to bad weather: 1974, 1981, 1986, 1998, 1999 and 2009
    • In 1996, the first 36 holes were played as scheduled on Thursday and Friday. Rain on Saturday and Sunday prevented the completion of the tournament and it was canceled (54 holes required to be official due to three course setup).
    • In 1998, weather conditions prevented the tournament from being finished on schedule (9 holes were played Thursday, 9 on Friday, 18 on Saturday, rain Sunday and Monday). The third round was delayed until August to prevent cancellation similar to 1996. 43 of 168 players withdrew rather than return for the final round.
