The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am kicks off this week at Pebble Beach Golf Links in California. Phil Mickelson is the defending champion, coming off a strong finish last week in Saudi Arabia. Mickelson has fallen outside the top 50 in the world, and is looking to get his game back into form in time for The Masters in April.
Mickelson has won at Pebble Beach five times in his career. His victory over Paul Casey last year was one of the few bright spots in a disappointing 2019 for him. Phil’s 2020 hasn’t gotten off to the best start, but after a missed cut at Torrey Pines, he tied for third in Saudi Arabia. His game is trending in the right direction, and the stars could be in line for him to successfully defend this week.
Dustin Johnson is a two-time winner, and like Phil, he is also making the trip from Saudi Arabia. Johnson has picked up an additional five top-five finishes at Pebble Beach since his last win here in 2010. He’s listed as the betting favourite, at 13/2 odds.
