2019 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Odds & Betting Preview

This weekend, the PGA Tour returns to California for the 2019 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. There are 156 pros (along with amateur partners), but unlike the CareerBuilder Desert Classic, which happened a few weeks ago, in this event the pros get to select their amateur partners, and those partners remain the same through each round. A lot of the amateurs who will appear this weekend are celebrities, adding some glamour to the event. All players will complete three rounds, with the top 60 and ties playing on Sunday. The tournament features three courses: Pebble Beach Golf Links, Monterey Peninsula Country Club (Shore Course), and Spyglass Hill Golf Club. Pebble Beach is short, but there are some tight holes, and the weather often plays a role as the course is right on the shore. However, the par-5 holes are very accessible for birdies and even eagles. Monterey Peninsula is the lone par-71 course among the three, but there are four par-5 holes and five par-3s. That combination is one reason why this is the easiest course of the three. Finally, Spyglass Hill is the hardest course but is the least vulnerable to weather events. Take a look at the golf betting odds for the tournament contenders as well as some of our suggestions for your wagering picks.

(and the defending champion, Ted Potter Jr, comes in at +12500) Jason Day has finished in the top 25 in seven straight tournaments, coming in at -10 or better in four of those events. He has only missed two cuts since he won the Wells Fargo Championship in May. At Pebble Beach, Day has never missed a cut, in nine appearances, and he has five finishes in the top 11 in his last six starts there, and he came in second a year ago. Dustin Johnson picked up a solid win at the Saudi International and has finished at -7 or better in seven of his last nine starts. In his last 10 tries at Pebble Beach, he has finished in the top five seven times. He won the whole thing here in 2009 and 2010. Despite the fact that Johnson and Day offer comparatively low value, their status as co-favorites makes them both solid picks, given their recent track records, across the Tour as well as at Pebble Beach. Brandt Snedeker did not finish well as the Phoenix Open or the Farmers Insurance Open, but he has still made every cut since last year’s British Open. He won at Pebble Beach in 2013 and 2015, and he also came in fourth here in 2017 and cracked the top 25 in 2018. Given the solid performances he has occasionally had in the last year and his track record at Pebble Beach, given the value he offers, he’s definitely a pick to consider. Phil Mickelson did not make the cut at the Phoenix Open. However, he has finished in the top 25 the next week in the cases of the last three times he has missed the cut. He has won Pebble Beach four times overall and came in second in two of the last three years, making this value relatively worthwhile. Tony Finau also missed the cut last week, but the last time he didn’t make the weekend, he finished in the top five at the U.S. Open the next week. He has also put together eight top-15 finishes in his last 11 tournaments. I expect him to show up hungry, and those odds offer solid value.
