This week’s 2026 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am will see Rory McIlroy, in his season debut, taking on World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. But it will also feature a full field of amateur golfers sporting much higher handicaps than the Tour pros.
Golf-obsessed celebrities, star athletes, politicians and business executives will compete in a concurrent pro-am tournament alongside the pros. Fortunately, the PGA Tour has provided handicaps for all amateur participants, giving us an insight into just how good these stars are at golf.
Here’s what you need to know.
Notable celeb handicaps at Pebble Beach Pro-Am
While there are no true hackers in the Pebble Pro-Am field this week, handicaps run the gamut from 0 to 18. There are a whopping 11 amateurs with an 11-handicap.
But first, let’s start with the scratch players. Three amateurs are sporting 0-handicaps at Pebble Beach this week: Brian Ferris, Johno Harris and Chris Solomon.
There’s only one entrant holding a 1-handicap, country music star Jake Owen, but he carries more star power than the trio of scratch golfers.
Prominent business executives dominate the best handicaps at the pro-am, so we have to jump further down the list for our next celebrity. That would be former NFL quarterback Alex Smith, who will play with a 7-handicap this week.
NFL star Travis Kelce is also in the field, and he’s rocking a 10-handicap, the same as former NBA star Pau Gasol. NFL Hall of Famer Steve Young will play to a 13.
Two major politicians are also in the field. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a 10-handicap, is playing this week, as is former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Rice, a 13-handicap, is a member of Augusta National.
