PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth have won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am attacking in very different styles, and that makes their pairing together must-see golf in the first three rounds.
Rory McIlroy is playing the event for the first time this week, and he’ll have a guy who knows how to win it as his tour guide. McIlroy is paired with Phil Mickelson, a four-time AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am winner.
Johnson and Spieth will go off together Thursday at 11:22 a.m. ET at Spyglass Hill, Friday at 1:01 p.m. ET at Monterey Peninsula Country Club and Saturday at 12:21 p.m. ET at Pebble Beach.
Johnson’s pro-am partner will again be NHL great Wayne Gretzky. Spieth’s will be country music star Jake Owen.
