A zero-handicap is playing. And two 18-handicaps.
There are also seven four-handicaps — one of whom is Fred Ridley, the Augusta National and Masters chairman. And there are three 15-handicaps — one of whom is Eric Church, a country singer.
Welcome to AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am week, where, despite losing some size and duration last year after the PGA Tour designated the tournament a “Signature Event,” it still ranks as arguably pro golf’s most recognizable pro-am event. Pro-am’s in the name even.
For two rounds — one each at Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill — the ams will play alongside a pro, before the latter goes off alone over the weekend. Last year, Rory McIlroy and amateur partner Jeff Rhodes won, though McIlroy finished the pro portion tied for 66th.
“Yeah, I got my name on the wall, just not the portion that I wanted,” McIlroy said Tuesday. “Yeah, Jeff and I had a good time over 36. He obviously did most of the heavy lifting in those two days.”
As for how all the amateurs’ handicaps stack up this year? You can check that out below. The information comes from the PGA Tour’s communications team.

When it comes to investing, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of a hot stock tip or the latest trend. But if you really want to succeed in the world of finance, it’s important to pay attention to the numbers that matter.
Amateurs often rely on gut feelings or the advice of friends when making investment decisions. They may be swayed by headlines or social media buzz, without taking the time to do their own research.
But seasoned investors know that the key to success lies in understanding the fundamentals. They pay attention to key financial metrics like earnings per share, price-to-earnings ratios, and debt levels. They analyze cash flow statements and balance sheets to get a true picture of a company’s financial health.
So before you jump on the next bandwagon, take the time to dig into the numbers. By doing your homework and making informed decisions, you’ll be better equipped to navigate the complex world of investing.
