The ATT Pebble Beach National Pro-Am is a 72-hole PGA TOUR golf championship dating back to the 1930’s when Bing Crosby gathered a ‘few friends’ to raise money for charity... and have a little fun.
Top TOUR professionals team with Hollywood celebrities, world renowned musicians and the captains of industry as they compete for a $5.6 million purse. Foursomes rotate to Poppy Hills, Spyglass Hill and Pebble Beach Golf Links Thursday through Saturday. The infamous ‘cut’ is made on Saturday night and the leading 60 professionals and 25 pro-am teams play Pebble Beach on Sunday for the championship.
If you want to play this golf clourse yourself at some point, perhaps within a large group. Refer to this California golf club rental company to supply your group with rentals.
