Collin Morikawa delivered one of the great final-hole shots in recent Pebble Beach history — a 4-iron from 235 yards, started out over the ocean wall and carried back by the coastal wind onto the 18th green — to set up a winning birdie and claim the 2026 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am by a single stroke. The victory, his seventh on the PGA Tour, ended a title drought and showcased exactly the kind of clutch iron play that has defined Morikawa's career.
Tournament Overview
The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, held February 12-15 at Pebble Beach Golf Links on the Monterey Peninsula, is one of the most visually spectacular events on the PGA Tour calendar. The tournament rotates players across Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill, and Monterey Peninsula Country Club during the pro-am rounds before the professionals complete the final round at Pebble Beach — one of the most iconic finishing stretches in the sport, with the closing holes running directly along the Pacific coastline.
The 2026 edition carried a $20 million purse as a Signature Event and delivered an ending worthy of its stage.

How It Unfolded
The final round at Pebble Beach was a moving leaderboard throughout, and the drama peaked at the par-5 18th. Sepp Straka holed out for eagle on the closing hole to vault to 21-under and share the lead with Min Woo Lee, turning what had been Morikawa's advantage into a sudden three-way battle with the final group still on the course.
Morikawa answered with the shot of the tournament. Needing birdie on 18 to win outright, he stood 235 yards from the flag with the Pacific Ocean lurking to the left. He flushed a 4-iron, starting the ball out over the ocean wall and trusting the coastal wind to bring it back — a shot that requires precision, nerve, and a complete understanding of the conditions. The ball landed on the green and set up a makeable birdie putt. He converted, signed for a 67, and walked off Pebble Beach as the champion at 22-under, one clear of Straka and Lee.
Scottie Scheffler's closing 63 was the low round of the day and vaulted him into a share of fourth, but he had too much ground to make up on the leaders.
Key Storylines
Morikawa's Return to the Winner's Circle
The Pebble Beach title was Morikawa's seventh on the PGA Tour and his first since 2023. Known as one of the purest ball-strikers in the game, Morikawa had been knocking on the door without quite breaking through in recent months. The 18th hole shot — one of the hardest iron shots in professional golf when the coastal wind is in play — was a reminder of just how elite his ball-striking remains. When that part of his game is on, few players in the world are more dangerous.
Straka's Eagle Wasn't Enough
Sepp Straka's eagle on the 72nd hole was a moment that should have won — or at least forced a playoff. In any other week, holing out for eagle on 18 at Pebble Beach to take the lead in the final moments would be the story everyone was talking about. Instead, Morikawa's response made it a footnote. Straka finished tied for second alongside Min Woo Lee, another strong result for the Austrian that keeps him in the conversation as one of the more consistent performers on Tour.
Scheffler's 63 Arrives Too Late
A final-round 63 from Scottie Scheffler was the kind of round that wins most tournaments. At Pebble Beach this week, it wasn't enough. Scheffler moved up the board in spectacular fashion but finished two shots short in a share of fourth. It was a reminder that even when the world's No. 1 is at his best on Sunday, the competition in 2026 is good enough to match him.
Final Thoughts
Pebble Beach has hosted some of the most memorable moments in professional golf, and the 2026 AT&T Pro-Am added another one to the list. Morikawa's 4-iron over the ocean on 18, Straka's eagle that briefly seemed to steal the show, and a closing leaderboard that kept everyone guessing until the final putt — it was exactly the kind of week that the Monterey Peninsula delivers when the conditions and the competition line up. Morikawa collected his seventh Tour title with the shot of a champion, and left no doubt about who the best player at Pebble Beach was in February 2026.
