Mark O’Meara has lived the life of a professional golfer for over four decades. Having bagged 34 professional wins, the World Golf hall of famer is now ready to retire at 67. And, he could not have chosen a better spot than Pebble Beach for his last professional tournament!
At the 1979 California State Amateur, he bagged his first (of six) Pebble Beach title. 20 years later, he beat the likes of Tiger Woods and David Duval for his 6th at the AT&T. Now, he will make one last appearance at the historic course for the 2024 Pure Insurance Championship, which is scheduled from September 20 to September 22. If you’re looking to catch all the action of the golf great’s final stand, here’s how you can do it!
The official PGA Tour Champions event at the Pebble Beach Golf Links usually pairs one junior—who is chosen based on his ability to play golf at different tees—with a PGA Tour Champions player and two amateurs. Who airs this? Golf Channel. They have been the official broadcasting partner of the championship for years now.

The Pebble Beach Golf Links is located on the west coast of the US in Pebble Beach, California. Rugged coastlines surrounded the public golf course, giving it a breathtaking view of Carmel Bay, which opens to the Pacific Ocean. The course was established in 1919 and has hosted several significant golf events, like the US Open, the PGA Championship, and the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
Designed by Jack Neville, and Douglas Grant, Pebble Beach was later on renovated by Arnold Palmer and Thad Layton in 2016. The par-72 course is not just rated as one of the most beautiful courses in the country, but is also one of the most extensive ones. If you do find yourself there, prepare for an exceptional weekend. After all, a golf great like Mark O’Meara on a gorgeous course like Pebble Beach, it doesn’t get much better than that!
