Pebble Beach scraps multi-day pro-am format because of virus concerns

More changes are coming to the PGA Tour’s West Coast Swing.

The Tour announced Thursday that the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am will not feature its traditional multi-day pro-am format because of “local COVID-19 circumstances in the Monterey Peninsula.” As a result, the Feb. 11-14 event will be contested on two courses instead of three: Pebble Beach Golf Links and Spyglass Hill.

“While we will truly miss watching the actors, musicians, athletes and other amateur participants that make this event so special, we are pleased to continue on with the professional competition,” said tournament director Steve John.

Thursday’s news comes after the tournament, which will celebrate its 75th anniversary this year, had already announced it would not permit spectators.
