Quiz: Winners at Pebble Beach
By Matt Coles
Eight major championships and one of the longest-running events in PGA Tour history. How many winners at Pebble Beach can you name on our quiz?
With the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am taking place this week, we are seeing how many winners at the iconic venue you can name on our quiz!
Pebble Beach is one of three host courses for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, alongside Spyglass Hill and Monterrey Peninsula.
The tournament runs in a very similar fashion to the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship on the DP World Tour – played at Carnoustie, Kingsbarns and the Old Course at St Andrews.
Players and their pro-am partners will take to each of the three courses over the opening three days of event.
At the end of Saturday evening, there will be a cut in both the professional tournament and the pro-am competition. From there, those that make the cut will take to Pebble Beach again on Sunday.
Pebble Beach Golf Links has been in the spotlight on many more occasions than just its yearly viewing on the PGA Tour, though.
Six US Opens, the first back in 1972, have been held on the Californian coastline. Add to that a PGA Championship and the first US Women’s Open in 2023, and you have eight major championships that have been played at Pebble Beach.

Mention a European country, and Matt will tell you which resorts make the National Club Golfer Top 100s: European Resorts list. He might even throw in who designed the golf course and how many rooms the hotel has got at each one…
Matt got into the game of golf from a young age, following his old man to the local golf club. He fell for the sport, and now can’t seem to go a day without thinking about how to improve his game (Thanks Dad!). Matt has been a member of Howley Hall GC in Leeds since 2020, and is just about managing to maintain a single-figure handicap. He likes to remind people that he once broke 75, but won’t tell people that it was on a shortened course during the winter.
He moved to Leeds after graduating from the University of Central Lancashire with a First Class Honours degree in Sports Journalism. Matt joined NCG after almost five years travelling the world with the Professional Squash Association, working on events in all four corners of the globe.
Matt currently plays a Cobra King LTDx driver and RadSpeed 3-wood. TaylorMade monopolise the rest of his bag, with a SIM UDI, M5 irons and both Milled Grind and HI-TOE wedges, along with a Monza Redline putter. He uses a Vice Pro Plus golf ball, because he’s a bit different…
Away from golf, Matt is a Manchester United fan, and a keen runner, having ran the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon (his first and possibly last), in May 2023.
