The second of the PGA Tour’s signature events takes place with the Pebble Beach Pro-Am as Justin Rose defends his title.
Like the first tournament of the year, The Sentry, players will be competing for a huge $20m purse, with the winner in line for a $3.6m windfall.
The tournament is one of the Tour’s controversial no-cut, limited-field events, meaning only 80 players will be participating. The player who emerges as runner-up from the field will claim $2.18m, while there’s another seven-figure sum, $1.38m, available to the player who finishes third.
Even with the bumper prize money payout for the action at two courses, Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill, it still falls $5m short of the fund available at another men’s tournament taking place at the same time, LIV Golf Mayakoba at El Camaleon Golf Club. However, it is significantly more than the $2.5m on the table at the DP World Tour’s inaugural Bahrain Championship.
Thanks to some changes to the Official World Golf ranking that were announced in December, the winner also stands to earn around 77 world ranking points, with only the four Majors and The Players Championship offering more. As well as that, there are also 700 FedEx Cup points on offer.
Below is the prize money payout for the 2024 Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
