The AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-AM was first held in 1937 and hosted by Bing Crosby at Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe, California, the event's location prior to World War II. Sam Snead won the first tournament, in which the first place check was for $500. After the war, the event resumed play in 1947 on golf courses in Pebble Beach, where it has been played ever since. Beginning that year, it was played at Pebble Beach Golf Links, Cypress Point Club and Monterey Peninsula Country Club until 1966. In 1967 Spyglass Hill replaced Monterey Peninsula Country Club as the third course (with the exception of 1977, when it returned to MPCC). In 1991, Cypress Point Club was dropped by the PGA Tour because it would not admit women, and was replaced as a tournament venue by Poppy Hills Golf Course, a move that finalized the current roster of tournament venues.
The AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-AM tournament continues to be a success every year despite the rain fall that typically slows down play, especially in 1996, 1998 and 1999. There is an equivalant celebrity pro-am event on the European PGA Tour, called the Dunhill Links Championship.
The starting field consists of 180 professionals and 180 amateurs. One professional is paired with one amateur. Each day, 60 2-man teams will play on one of the three courses. Then on the final day, those professionals and pro-amateur teams making the 54-hole cut will play on the Pebble Beach Golf Links. Only professionals may compete in the individual competition part of the tournament. Amateurs are restricted to playing only in the pro-amateur team competition. The local Pebble Beach tournament officials handle pairing of professionals with amateurs, while the PGA Tour's weekly tournament officials handle the assignment of tee times.
