The lineup for the 2026 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is finalized following the closure of the PGA Tour entry deadline. This event will take place at Pebble Beach Golf Links in Pebble Beach, California, from February 12 to 15, 2026, featuring some of the top players as part of the FedEx Cup schedule.
The tournament will showcase an 80-player field led by prominent golfers including Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, the reigning champion, and Xander Schauffele. This is the fifth event on the 2026 PGA Tour calendar and marks the season’s first Signature event offering 700 FedEx Cup points to the winner.
Confirmed Participants and Qualification Details
The competition will run from Thursday through Sunday without Monday qualifiers. Instead, players who earn entry through the Aon Swing 5 will be determined by their performance at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Currently, Pierceson Coody, Ryo Hisatsune, Matt McCarty, Andrew Putnam, and Patrick Rodgers have secured spots via this route.
The Aon Next 10 category includes those finishing 51st to 60th in last season’s FedEx Cup Fall rankings. Additionally, one place is reserved for the Phoenix Open winner if they have not yet qualified. The alternate list to replace any withdrawals begins with Alex Smalley followed by Vince Whaley.
