Pebble Beach Golf Links, one of the most iconic courses in the world, recently announced that it will reduce its Pro-Am field to 80 players across two courses in 2024. This move is part of a larger effort to improve the overall experience for the players, sponsors, and spectators.
The Pro-Am is a popular event that takes place at Pebble Beach each year. It features a field of professional and amateur golfers competing for a purse of $1.5 million. The event has traditionally been held on three courses: Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill, and Monterey Peninsula Country Club.
However, the new plan will reduce the number of courses to two and the field size to 80 players. This will allow for a more focused competition and a better overall experience for everyone involved. The tournament will still feature a full field of professional and amateur golfers, but the size of the field will be reduced to ensure that the competition is as competitive as possible.
The move is part of a larger effort by Pebble Beach to improve the overall experience for players, sponsors, and spectators. This includes improving the quality of the courses, providing better amenities, and creating a more welcoming atmosphere for all.
The move to reduce the Pro-Am field to 80 players across two courses is a positive step forward for Pebble Beach. It will create a more competitive tournament and provide a better overall experience for everyone involved. It is also a sign that Pebble Beach is committed to providing the best possible experience for its players, sponsors, and spectators.
