The football season is finished following Super Bowl LX and more winning picks and props in the Seattle Seahawks victory. Now it's time take a swing and shoot for more fairways and green$ with golf betting providing more ways to win. I'll add some Major Championship coverage along with select Signature Events here at Off Shore Gaming Association and it begins with the first of eight 2026 Signature Events at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in California along the cliffs of the Monterey Peninsula.
The big money Signature Events have a $20 million purse with the winners adding $3.5 to $4 million to their golf bag and bank account.
Golf Courses
Pebble Beach Golf Links – 6,989 yards, Par 72 (3 rounds)
Spyglass Hill Golf Course – 7,071 yards, Par 72 (1 round)
Take a hole-by-hole descriptive look at picturesque Pebble Beach Golf Links along with an aerial view of the iconic course.
Both courses feature smaller Poa annua greens with ryegrass fairways and rough. Pebble Beach is the shortest Par 72 course on the PGA Tour with the tiniest greens (ave. 3,500 square feet) and 116 sand bunkers. Spyglass Hill greens average 5,000 square feet and are still below Tour average (6,000).
More than half the players Approach shots are from inside 150 yards at Pebble Beach, which yields the lowest Greens in Regulation percentages on Tour. That makes SG: Around the Green another key stat for this week. Driver is less frequent with the Tour average for driver usage at 69% last year, but at this event and Pebble Beach, it was 55 percent.
The weather could be a factor again at the 2026 Pebble Beach event with advance Sunday forecast calling for rain. Changing weather conditions are in play with Justin Rose indicating such following Tuesday’s abbreviated practice round with only a wedge and putter.
“It was actually a lovely morning and you’re sort of thinking to yourself, ‘Oh, they’ve got the weather forecast completely wrong, blue sky, it was calm,'” Rose said. “Then literally it was like a switch, like 30-mile-an-hour winds. The ocean started looking angry. The clouds started rolling in.”
In this 85th edition of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am and third as a Signature Event, 80 PGA pros play alongside amateurs and celebrities the first two days at Pebble Beach Golf Links and Spyglass Hill. World No. 2 Rory McIlroy makes his 2026 PGA Tour debut as the defending champion after emerging victorious last year on a Sunday that saw six players with at least a share of the lead in the final round.

Jason Day finished T13 and T6 in this event the last two years including shooting 63 on Saturday in the shortened 2024 tournament. The 38-year-old also finished top 5 in this event five straight years starting in 2017. Day started 2026 with a T2 place finish at The American Express and top 40 at the Farmers event where long driving is needed more. That's not the case this week at Pebble Beach or Spyglass. Day ranks sixth on Tour this year in SG: Approach and top 15 in Greens in Regulation. His short game and putting have been a strength for years, and through two starts this year Day ranks top 15 in SG: Putting and top 10 total putting. Jason Day offers more value and a better fit with proven performances at Pebble Beach.
