AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am - PGA DFS Overview
The Course: Pebble Beach Golf Links
Par 72 - 7,051 Yards, Greens: Poa Annua, Designed By: Jack Neville & Douglas Grant
Like the American Express event from a couple of weeks ago, we are once again dealing with three different golf courses this week. In addition to Pebble, which players will play once in the first three rounds and again in the final round, Spyglass Hill (6,953 yds/Par-72/Poa) and Monterey Peninsula's Shore Course (6,958 yds/Par-71/Poa) will also be in the rotation. All three are ruggedly beautiful, with the famous Pebble Beach being the crown jewel.
All three courses measure less than 7,000 yards, so distance isn't a necessity this week. Players will need to find fairways and greens, but that can be more difficult than it sounds in often unpredictable conditions. All three of these courses are smack-dab on the Monterrey Peninsula coast and huge changes in weather can, and often does, influence the outcome of this tournament.
So...we are forced to deal with a lot of unpredictable variables this week. The course a player draws for each different day and the amount of wind during their rounds on those different courses is something that is unfortunately out of our hands. This event is famously tough on first-timers, so I'm targeting players with plenty of AT&T experience that are sharp on approach shots.

Fantasy Golf Lineup Picks for FanDuel (PGA DFS)
We have tons of great weekly PGA articles, DFS analysis, tools and DFS advice. Be sure to read our other fantastic articles regarding this week's event including DFS lineup picks for DraftKings/FanDuel, betting advice and DFS prop picks.
High-Priced FanDuel DFS Plays
Patrick Cantlay ($12,300)
Whereas last week's Farmers Insurance Open featured a deep field of talented competitors, this AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am slate is more closely related to the American Express event of a few weeks ago. Translation: "elite" players are few and far between on this slate. For that reason, I believe a top-heavy "Stars & Scrubs" approach is a viable way to tackle roster construction, especially on FanDuel.
A great way to start those builds is Patrick Cantlay - the only player teeing it up this week that's ranked inside the OWGR top-10. After a superb stretch led to the 2021 FedEx Cup title for the Californian, his 2022 results indicate he's picked up right where he left off. Cantlay has logged a 4th (Sentry) and a T9 (AmEx) in his two starts this calendar year. He now heads to a Pebble Beach event in which he's historically thrived. Cantlay's made the cut in all five of his career AT&T starts and has amassed a tidy 69.65 career event scoring average. The UCLA alum notched a T3 in last year's AT&T and sticks out as one of the few truly elite players available to us on this slate.
Daniel Berger ($11,900)
Daniel Berger checks the same "elite player" box as the aforementioned Cantlay. He also happens to be the defending AT&T champion. Berger prevailed in last year's edition with a score of 18-under par for the week, and his Pebble Beach track record indicates it was no fluke, as he's now gone Win-T5-T10 over his three career starts in this event.
The FSU alum certainly isn't the flashiest player on the PGA Tour, but he's been one of the most consistent over the past two years. Over his last 40 starts, Berger has made 38 cuts. As he heads to Pebble Beach - and an event in which he's amassed a 68.33 career scoring average that stands as the best mark in this week's field - he's gained strokes T2G in 10 consecutive starts and has gained an average of 4.4 strokes T2G over his last 20.
Jason Day ($11,300)
If you're looking for a "Course Horse" this week, Jason Day might be your man. The Aussie has never actually won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am but has been dominant nonetheless in the Monterrey area event throughout his career. Day leads this week's AT&T Pebble Beach field in event SG: Total (+58.12) & stands second career scoring average (69.15). He's made 12 career AT&T starts with 12 made cuts that include EIGHT top-seven finishes among them.
In addition to the elite course history, Day comes in off his best outing in recent memory, an impressive T3 at the Farmers Insurance Open. His swing looked smooth and powerful at Torrey Pines, and he gained strokes in every major statistical category for the week.

Mid-Priced FanDuel DFS Plays
Maverick McNealy ($10,900)
If you read much of my content you probably know that Maverick McNealy is a player that I've been bullish on over the past year or so. A college superstar at Stanford, it's taken Mav a while to adjust to the professional game, but a 2021 season that included a pair of top-fives and was marked by consistency down the stretch, proved to be a true breakout year for him.
It appears as though he's carried that momentum into the new year with solid finishes in both the Sony Open (T27) and last week's Farmers (T30). His final result last week doesn't truly do justice to how well he played (he tumbled down the leaderboard due to a final-round 75) and he now heads to a Pebble Beach layout that he practically grew up on and that represents a much better fit for his game. His comfort level with this rotation of courses is reflected in his AT&T results that include a runner-up last year and a T5 in 2020.
Brandt Snedeker ($9,300)
Despite a disastrous outing last week at Torrey Pines - a spot where I was relatively high on him - I'm willing to stick with Brandt Snedeker this week in what I feel is a nice little bounceback spot. His recent AT&T results have been bad, but let's keep in mind that Sneds is a two-time winner of this event and remains one of the best Poa annua putters in the world (second in SG: Putting on Poa over long-term measurements).
Though he missed the cut at Torrey last week, he did gain a minimal amount of strokes on Approach. The vet had also looked solid in his two previous starts of 2022, a T14 at the AmEx and a T36 at the Sony. I'm not in love with the mid-range options on this particular FanDuel slate, so I'm willing to gamble a bit here with a player that has tons of Pebble Beach experience - and success - on his resume.
Low-Priced FanDuel DFS Players
Nick Taylor ($9,100)
Really excited to catch Nick Taylor at this price point, as he stands out as one of the best value plays on this week's FD slate for me. Dating back to the Swing Season, Taylor has quietly put together a really solid stretch of golf. He's made the cut in each of his last four starts, gaining strokes T2G in all of those outings.
The Canadian won the AT&T Pebble Beach in windswept conditions in 2020, but his track record in this event indicates it was no fluke, as he's made the cut in five of seven career starts at Pebble with a top-10 in 2017 and a career event scoring average that is the 10th-best among this week's entrants. When we add his solid recent form to his eye-opening course history, Taylor is one of the few value plays that I'll be rostering with confidence this week.
Pat Perez ($8,900)
This week's highlighted plays undoubtedly skew "veteran" and that's the case with our final option this week, 45-year-old Pat Perez. He's certainly something of a wild card and rostering him comes with a certain level of inherent volatility. With those risks noted, I'm interested in Perez due to both his strong outing at Torrey Pines last week and his extensive history at Pebble Beach.
He's a notoriously-streaky player, so there's a good chance that he can carry some positive momentum over from his T6 at the Farmers, an effort in which he gained an eye-opening 5.6 strokes on Approach. His track record in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is lengthy, as he's made an amazing 19 career starts in this event, making the cut in 15 of those appearances with three top-10 finishes on his AT&T resume.
