PGA DFS: Top Cash Game Picks for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am

For the second of eight Signature Events this season, the PGA TOUR is hosting the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am this week. This is a limited field of 80 golfers, and there will be no cut. Each player will play one round at Pebble Beach Golf Links (par 72, 6,972 yards, POA annua greens) and one at Spyglass Hill (par 72, 7,041 yards, POA annua greens). Then, the final two rounds will be held at Pebble Beach Golf Links, making this venue the host course. Wyndham Clark (-17) is the defending champion of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am after edging out Ludvig Aberg by a shot a year ago.

The PGA DFS Breakdown offers data-driven analysis for each week’s slate, using the FantasyLabs Tools and metrics to highlight notable golfers.

I’ll be highlighting the best cash game/single-entry plays on the DraftKings main slate, but these players are often great options in any contest.

My analysis will frequently reference Strokes Gained, a set of proprietary metrics generated by the PGA TOUR using millions of data points to calculate how many shots, on average, it takes a player to get the ball in the hole from every distance and situation.

Strokes Gained is now available in the FantasyLabs PGA Models.

There are a variety of Strokes Gained-related metrics, but the six main categories you need to know include:

  • Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee (SG: Off-the-Tee)
  • Strokes Gained: Approach (SG: Approach)
  • Strokes Gained: Around-the-Green (SG: Around-the-Green)
  • Strokes Gained: Putting (SG: Putting)
  • Strokes Gained: Ball-Striking (SG: Ball-Striking), which is SG: Off-the-Tee + SG: Approach
  • Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green (SG: Tee-to-Green), which is SG: Ball-Striking + SG: Around-the-Green

Don’t forget to check out two key metrics in our models — Perfect% and SimLeverage. You can find an explainer on those metrics here.

The cliff notes version is that you can use SimLeverage to quickly find leverage plays in tournaments, while Perfect% is great for finding the best price-considered plays for cash games.

And don’t forget to utilize our various PGA DFS tools like our Lineup OptimizerLineup Builder, PGA Correlation Dashboard, and our Trends tool.

The following players listed are based on DraftKings scoring and pricing.

DraftKings $10,000+ Range

Collin Morikawa ($10,200)

With Scottie Scheffler coming off a hand injury and Rory McIlroy owning a subpar resume at Pebble Beach, taking the savings and building around Morikawa is the right move for cash games this week. The two-time major champion began his 2025 campaign with a runner-up finish at the Sentry earlier this month, marking Morikawa’s second runner-up finish in his last three starts. Morikawa finished the Sentry top-six in both SG: Approach and SG: Putting, and he carded an 11-under 62 during the third round, which was one stroke away from tying his career low. Morikawa finished T14th at last year’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and should have an even better finish this time around, considering his incredible form.

DraftKings $9,000 Range

Justin Thomas ($9,800)

Thomas finished T6th at last year’s edition of this event and now returns to Pebble Beach 12 spots higher in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR). Thomas has been playing sensational golf, finishing T2nd, third, T26th and second in his last four starts. He’s gained strokes across the board during his runner-up at the American Express his last time out and he has shot under par in 21 straight rounds. Thomas has a long history of thriving in the early stages of the season — eight of his 15 wins on the PGA TOUR have come from October-to-February — and he should once again be in the mix for a win this weekend.

Sungjae Im ($9,000)

Disregard that Im finished T66th at last year’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and roster him confidently at this price tag. Coming off a missed cut, Im was in questionable form heading into last year’s edition of this tournament. Now, he returns to Pebble Beach 12 spots higher in the OWGR, with his last six finishes being a T11, T6, T13, T3, MC and T4, in that order. During this timeframe, Im has only shot over par once and has shot under par in 21 of his 24 rounds. Im ranks fourth in the field in total strokes gained over the last 50 rounds, but he is only the 11th-most expensive golfer on the slate.

DraftKings $8,000 Range

Keegan Bradley ($8,500)

Bradley is playing outstanding golf this season and needs to be rostered at this reasonable salary. For his first three starts of 2025, Bradley has finished T15th, T6th and T15th. Outside of losing strokes with his putter last week at the Farmers Insurance Open, which was excusable given the tough conditions at Torrey Pines, Bradley has gained strokes in every major category in all three of his starts this season. Plus, he has shot under par in 10 of his 12 rounds, including a pair of 64s. Including a T11 last season, Bradley has produced two top-15 finishes in three starts at Pebble Beach, and another top-15 is likely for the veteran this week.

Taylor Pendrith ($8,300)

Pendrith finished T7th at the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and he brings even better upside this time week. Sitting at a career-high No. 42 in the OWGR, Pendrith heads to Pebble Beach 72 spots higher than his ranking heading into the 2023 edition of this event. The Canadian finished T7th at the Farmers Insurance Open last week, which is his sixth top-15 finish in his last eight starts. Pendrith ranks 15th in SG: Approach over his last 24 rounds, and he’s third in the field in strokes gained per round over the last 50 rounds at no-cut events (via the Rabbit Hole). Pendrith checks all the boxes this week and is a very safe option.

DraftKings $7,000 Range

Beau Hossler ($7,600)

While Hossler lacks name value in this star-studded field, he is one of the best plays on the board at this cheap price tag. The veteran has finished 3rd, T11th and T14th at the last three AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Ams and has carded a top-25 finish in seven of his last nine starts. Most recently, Hossler finished T15th at the Farmers Insurance Open and was notably one of only 10 players to gain strokes in every major category at Torrey Pines. Hossler has gained strokes with his putter in five straight starts and ranks 11th in 400-450-yard par four efficiency over his last 24 rounds, which is great news with Pebble Beach Golf Links up next, where five of the 10 par fours land in this range. Of the last three AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am champions, two finished the event top-10 in 400-450-yard par four efficiency.

Nick Taylor ($7,200)

Taylor provides an elite combination of compelling course history and current form. The Canadian has carded a top-20 finish in four of his last eight starts at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, most notably with a five-shot victory in 2020. As for his current form, Taylor won the Sony Open earlier this month and then kept his foot on the gas in his next start, carding a T12 at the American Express. Taylor gained strokes on approach and with his flat stick at both these events, and he shot under par in seven of these eight rounds. Taylor is criminally underpriced at only $7,200 and is a cash game staple this week.

Harry Hall ($7,300)

Hall posted a solid T34 in his lone start at an AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am two years ago, but it is safe to expect a far better result from him this week. Hall is playing the best golf of his career right now, with six straight finishes of T21 or better. The veteran has shot under par in 22 of his last 24 rounds, and he ranks first in par four efficiency and third in SG: Putting when we analyze this field’s past 24 rounds. Hall secured his first PGA TOUR at the ISCO Championship this past July, and he brings tremendous upside relative to his low salary.

DraftKings $6,000 and Below Range

Gary Woodland ($6,500)

Woodland has supplied a top-20 finish in three of his last five starts, and his ball striking has remained elite, with the veteran ranking third in SG: Tee-to-Green and sixth in SG: Approach over his last 24 rounds. On top of this encouraging form, Woodland loves teeing it up at Pebble Beach. The veteran won the 2019 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach Golf Links by a convincing three shots, and he finished T5th in his AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am debut in 2017. Of all the players in this week’s field who have competed at Pebble Beach more than once, Woodland ranks second in strokes gained per round. The 40-year-old warranted a price tag near $8K this week and is a must-play at only $6,500.

Nico Echavarria ($6,500)

Echavarria is far too cheap for his talent. The Columbian won the ZOZO Championship in October and has contended for multiple wins since, with two runner-up finishes in his last four starts, most recently at the Sony Open earlier this month. Echavarria missed the cut in his only start at an AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in 2023, but this is totally irrelevant. The 30-year-old now sits 340 spots higher in the OWGR and has the elite putting skills to contend at Pebble Beach. Echavarria ranks fourth in the field in SG: Putting over the last 24 rounds, and three of the past five winners of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am have finished the tournament top-three in SG: Putting, including Clark last season, who led his field in the metric.

For the second of eight Signature Events this season, the PGA TOUR is hosting the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am this week. This is a limited field of 80 golfers, and there will be no cut. Each player will play one round at Pebble Beach Golf Links (par 72, 6,972 yards, POA annua greens) and one at Spyglass Hill (par 72, 7,041 yards, POA annua greens).
