Which PGA Tour pro-am is famous for being played at Pebble Beach?

The story behind the answer

The PGA Tour pro-am famous for being played at Pebble Beach is the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

The tournament is staged on California’s Monterey Peninsula, traditionally using Pebble Beach Golf Links along with Spyglass Hill Golf Course and, in many editions, Monterey Peninsula Country Club. Its pro-am format pairs PGA Tour professionals with amateur partners, including celebrities, business leaders and other public figures.

The event began in 1937 as the Bing Crosby National Pro-Am, created by entertainer Bing Crosby. It became associated with Pebble Beach after moving there in 1947 and later passed through several sponsor names, including the Crosby Clambake and the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. The modern title reflects AT&T’s long-running sponsorship.

The tournament is not the same as the Farmers Insurance Open, played at Torrey Pines near San Diego, or the Genesis Invitational, traditionally held at Riviera Country Club. Pebble Beach is also famous for its exposed coastal holes, Pacific Ocean views and the iconic par-three seventh hole.
