Hey everyone, so I’ve been digging into the PGA golf scene lately, specifically the ATT Pebble Beach Pro-Am. You know, the one where they mix it up with pros and amateurs? It’s a pretty cool concept. Today, I spent the day tracking the leaderboard and, let me tell you, it was a bit of a wild ride.
First, I tried to get a feel for the tournament’s format. Apparently, they’ve got 80 pros and 80 amateurs. Each pro gets paired with an amateur, and they play a Better Ball format for the first two days. They switch between Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill. I stumbled upon that the tournament used to be a part of the PGA of America but then it became its own thing in 1968. Interesting stuff, right?
Next, I started searching for places to check the live scores. I looked at sites like ESPN, and then some other sites named Flashscore. They had real-time updates and player scorecards and stuff. So, I kept refreshing those pages throughout the day.
Man, the leaderboard was all over the place. There was one player, Tommy Fleetwood, who apparently has the highest career earnings without ever winning a tournament. Can you believe that? $23,957 just for showing up! Or something like that. I’m not really sure.
Another name that popped up was Scheffler. I read that he was doing pretty well at the Hero World Challenge, whatever that is. He’s one of the big names, I guess.
By the end of the day, I had a decent idea of who was at the top and who was struggling. I saw that they published full results from last year’s tournament, including how much money everyone made. I guess it is not bad.
It was a fun little project, trying to follow the ATT Pebble Beach Pro-Am leaderboard. Definitely gave me a new appreciation for how dynamic these tournaments can be. You never really know what’s going to happen next.
