Rory McIlroy played the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am for the third time in 2026 and went on to lift the trophy. This week, the Northern Irishman will be looking to defend his title.

Speaking of recent form, McIlroy had a T3 finish at the Dubai Invitational but had an underwhelming week at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, where he tied for third.


2) Scottie Scheffler

Scottie Scheffler has continued his ominous form in 2026 too, and displayed his clutch game in his first win of the year last month. Last week, he made a giant recovery after a difficult start to tie for third at the WM Phoenix Open.

Speaking of last year’s performances, the World No. 1 golfer has registered a top-ten finish in both of his starts.


3) Chris Gotterup

Chris Gotterup has set the PGA Tour season on fire and has already raked up two big wins. The 26-year-old golfer is making his tournament debut this week and will be hoping to continue the run.


4) Hideki Matsuyama

Hideki Matsuyama has started the season well, and a T13 is his worst performance in three starts. Last week, he could have clinched his first win if not for errors on the last hole.

The 33-year-old golfer has played at Pebble Beach only twice and had poor weeks in both editions. This time, the star golfer will be looking to put those bad results behind him.


5) Si Woo Kim

Although Si Woo Kim hasn’t claimed a win so far, he has been the most consistent player this season. The 30-year-old golfer hasn’t finished outside T11 in four starts and has recorded three top tens.

Speaking of past results, Kim has made four cuts in eight starts at AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and has registered three top tens.
