The PGA Tour’s California swing continues this week on the Monterrey Peninsula, headlined by the breathtaking Pebble Beach Golf Links for the Tour’s second “Signature Event” of the season. The changes to the 2024 event were all positive, in my opinion, and they’re all in place again for 2025. Once again, one of the world’s most iconic golf venues will be on display, with the Tour’s top players competing for the elevated purse. The field is maxed at 80 participants, and the 54-hole cut has been removed. Thirty-six holes will be played between Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill on Thursday and Friday, removing the Monterey Peninsula course altogether. The final two rounds will be played without the amateurs and solely at Pebble Beach Golf Links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s encouraging to hear that Shotlink data will now be available for Spyglass Hill rounds moving forward, but for now, we’ll focus on Pebble Beach since three of the four rounds will be played on what’s commonly referred to as the “greatest meeting of land and sea in American golf.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re looking at a par-72 track that measures only 6,972 yards, the second shortest course on Tour. Driving distance is neutered here, with golfers clubbing down off the tee at one of the highest rates we’ll see and an average drive distance well below the Tour average. Approach shots into these postage stamp Poa greens will mostly come from 150 yards and in. Sidehill lies, elevation changes, and unpredictable wind gusts off the Pacific Ocean and Carmel Bay roll into the Monterey Peninsula, acting as the course’s main defense from target practice from the world’s best golfers. There are a lot of bunkers to navigate as well, and these unique bumpy and sloped Poa green putting surfaces lead to one of the lowest made putt percentages on Tour from inside 15 feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
