It would not be an exaggeration to say that the fans would be looking forward to watching the amateurs’ game more than the pros’ at the 2022 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. After all, most of the fan-favorite pro golfers are overseas, to play at the Saudi International event.
Although the PGA Tour tournament lacks many professionals, the event will be packed with many celebrities as amateurs. The previous winners, including Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson, will not be playing at the Pro-Am. However, last year’s winner Daniel Berger and fan-favorites Patrick Cantlay and Jordan Spieth would join the celebrities.

The new faces at the 2022 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am
The Asian league took most of the professionals. So the Pro-Am decided to upgrade the event by adding many new faces as amateurs.
The list of celebrities debuting at the AT&T event is massive in 2022. Mia Hamm, the two-time Olympic gold medalist, is a great add-on since she loves to win and would be competing with her all might. The game of Dodgers’ outfielder Mookie Betts and professional boxer Canelo Álvarez will be fun as well because of their competitive spirit and history of winning at their respective sports.
