Previously, the likes of Tom Brady, Bill Murray and Gareth Bale have teed it up in the event and, for 2025, many recognizable names feature along with the best of the PGA Tour.
Last year, Rory McIlroy and his partner Jeff Rhodes won the pro-am competition, whilst Wyndham Clark fired a third round 60 to claim the individual tournament, which was forced to finish after 54-holes due to horrendous weather on Sunday.
Below, we have listed just some of the big names who are in the field for the 2025 Pebble Beach Pro-Am, as well as some household names to look out for.
Larry Fitzgerald
The former wide receiver has teed it up multiple times at Pebble Beach, with the 41-year-old winning the event in California twice in 2018 and 2020 alongside Kevin Streelman.
For 2025, Fitzgerald plays alongside Doug Ghim, and describes the week as "the highlight of the year." Speaking back in 2024, the former Arizona Cardinal stated: "I looked forward to it even when I was playing football. Every time you get that invitation that comes in the mail, you open it up like a kid in the candy store. It's the invitation that you always want when you see it come in the mail. My kids even know now, like, 'Dad, it came in the mail!' Like yes, yes, yes."
