The question: Which would be the better, or more fun, Pro-Am to play in as a regular joe – the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, which takes place in February, or the Alfred Dunhill Links, which is taking place this week on the DP World Tour.
A few things to keep in mind – with the Pebble Beach Pro-Am becoming a signature event last year and remaining one for 2025, they’ve removed Monterey Peninsula Country Club from the three-course rotation due to the shrinking of the field. For this debate, we decided to keep MPCC in it to make it a harder question to answer.
So for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, you’d get to play Pebble Beach twice, assuming you make the cut, plus Spyglass Hill and MPCC. Of course, the rounds are quite long, and, if you’ve noticed the past few years, weather at Pebble in February can be dicey.
As for the Alfred Dunhill Links, you’d get to tee it up on the Old Course at St. Andrews, twice if you make the cut, plus Carnoustie and Kingsbarns. It might be a bit chilly in Scotland, but that’s part of the deal playing over there no matter the month. Hanging around St. Andrews all week certainly wouldn’t suck, though the same could be said for hanging out in Carmel during Pebble week.
