Bhatia, Theegala Eye Big Gains at Pebble Beach; Rory, Scottie Favorites

• Indian-American golfers Akshay Bhatia and Sahith Theegala are set for the first USD 20 million Signature event of 2026 at AT&T Pebble Beach.
• Bhatia, fresh off a T-3 finish at WM Phoenix Open, could be a dark horse in windy conditions, suiting his shot-shaping skills.
• Theegala received a sponsor's exemption after narrowly missing the Aon Swing 5 rankings; a strong finish is crucial for his season.
• The 2026 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is a no-cut Signature Event with an 80-player field, a USD 20 million purse, and 700 FedEx Cup points.
• Defending champion Rory McIlroy and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler are top favorites, with Scheffler seeking his first win at Pebble Beach.
