Who’s Playing at the 2026 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-AmEmpty heading

The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am returns February 12–15, 2026, as one of the most anticipated events on the PGA Tour calendar. Now designated a Signature Event, this annual tournament showcases elite golf on two of the Monterey Peninsula’s most legendary courses, Pebble Beach Golf Links and Spyglass Hill, and brings together top professionals and special guests for four days of world-class competition and unforgettable moments.

The impressive 80-player roster ensures the Pro-Am will host intense competitors over its breathtaking oceanfront holes. That, and the $20 million purse with no cut ensures every golfer plays through Sunday drawing many of the sport’s biggest names.

Here’s a look at who you can expect to see on the fairways and walking the iconic Pebble Beach shoreline this year.

Tommy Fleetwood, Patrick Cantlay, Sam Burns, J.T. Poston, Collin Morikawa, and Hideki Matsuyama – all among the notable names rounding out this strong field.

Special Guests & Celebrity AppearancesEmpty heading

The Pro-Am’s celebrity component has become more selective under the Signature Event format, and special guests still add excitement, particularly on Thursday and Friday when amateurs and invitees tee off before the pros take center stage. Travis Kelce, three-time Super Bowl champion with the Kansas City Chiefs, is confirmed as a special guest and will join the field on Thursday and Friday of Pro-Am week. Kelce’s participation brings added buzz, and while his pop-star partner has not announced attendance, many fans are watching social channels closely.

While the official 2026 amateur list is often finalized yet, based on recurring participants in the past the field could include sports figures like former NFL stars Steve Young, Larry Fitzgerald and Alex Smith, NBA champ Pau Gasol, former SF Giants catcher Buster Posey, soccer legend Mia Hamm and other celebrities such as Ryan Smith (Utah Jazz owner), country singer Eric Church, and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

The field has also included prominent business leaders in the past such as PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan, TaylorMade CEO David Abeles, former Nike CEO John Donahoe, McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski, Augusta National Chairman Fred Ridley, Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang, Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora, and venture capitalist Mary Meeker. 

The celebrity dynamics have shifted as the PGA Tour emphasizes elite competitive golf, but appearances by notable guests continue to add energy and appeal to fans during the early rounds of the tournament.
