Pebble Beach Pro-Am Betting Preview And Picks
I was traveling last week and it got tight with other commitments, so I missed posting and betting the Farmers Insurance Open. Good thing, as I had targeted Tony Finau as a player of interest and potential tournament match-up. Finau missed the cut, and we’ll head to beautiful Monterey for this week’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am played over three spectacular and scenic courses along the California coastline.
- Pebble Beach Golf Links – 6,972 yards, Par 72
- Spyglass Hill – 7,041 yards, Par 72
- Monterey Peninsula Country Club – 6,957 yards, Par 71
I add golf odds and betting information here, along with tournament picks and match-ups, which are 3-0 this year and follows last year’s 21-15 tournament match-up record through the FedExCup Playoffs and 17-5 from Jan. – May.
Additional chip-in winners in single round match-ups from The American Express, so follow along for other additions as research and time allows.

The California Swing
I chip-in additional Pebble Beach Pro-Am coverage for PlayUSA sites and regional coverage for weekly PGA Tour events. That includes the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and West Coast Swing through California. The American Express event was won by huge longshot Hudson Swafford (150/1), who was 225/1 at Circa Las Vegas, which often offers the best odds on golfers to win. Last week Luke List (83/1, Circa) won in a playoff over Will Zalatoris in the Farmers Insurance Open.
I add more AT&T Pebble Beach coverage for FanDuel with longshots and players to watch.
Chez Reavie has a better chance for a top-10 finish (+850) this week as a veteran longshot who hits it accurately. Reavie finished T2 in this event in 2018, T25 in 2020 and T16 last year following a poor opening round of 74. He also was the first round leader in 2016 after shooting 63 at Pebble Beach. With a tougher layout and conditions in the 2019 US Open at Pebble Beach, Reavie finished T3. Over his last 36 rounds, Reavie is top 5 in this field in Strokes Gained Approach, and top 15 in Ball Striking and Tee-to-Green. While his putting is a real weakness, he’s average on Tour putting on Poa annua which is on all three courses this week.
