Social Spotlight: Pebble Beach Pro-Am
It’s the PGA Tour’s answer to the Dunhill Links – except it’s bigger and sexier and the celebrities are household names around the world.
But which Hollywood icons, platinum-selling artists, and superstars from other sports will tee up on Pebble Beach’s luscious links for the annual National Pro-Am?
NCG runs down some people to look out for this weekend…
The players, including Mark Wahlberg, were out earlier in the week to get some practise in. But, as you can see from various tweets, the weather was pretty grim…

Tony Finau had to show off his skills taking a 7 iron (SEVEN!) on the famous par 3 7th which was recorded at 106 yards. Yep, you read that right…
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was also snapped taking on the elements. Crazy, right?
Before J.B. Holmes decided it was his turn to take on the 7th on his own…

Justin Timberlake must have been pretty miffed off on Wednesday. It’s not often you grab a birdie at Pebble Beach, but that’s just what the musician did only to be upstaged in the grandest of styles…
Willy Mac @Mavandnash just aced the 226yd par 3 7th at Monterrey! Oh, and the four ball played the hole in 8! Nice 2 @jtimberlake btw ? pic.twitter.com/BzRetAnAAq
