Tiger Woods 2012 Debut Headlines AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am
In a field full of celebrities one name stands out at Pebble Beach this week, Tiger Woods (@TigerWoods). Tiger is making his 2012 PGA Tour debut and returning to this event for the first time since 2002 when he finished tied for 12th. The 2000 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am champion is looking for his first win on the PGA Tour since the BMW Championship in 2009.
Tiger will garner most of the attention but he joins a field with seven other winners of this event. D.A. Points (@DAPoints) earned his first career PGA Tour victory here last year although most of the attention went to his amateur playing partner, Bill Murray. Phil Mickelson (1998, 2005, 2007) is the only three time champion of this event in the field while Dustin Johnson (2009 & 2010) and Davis Love III (2001 & 2003) have both won here twice.
One of the most enjoyable aspects of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is the celebrity component. Bill Murray may be the defending champion but all eyes are on Tony Romo, who is paired with Tiger Woods. Romo joins other football notables including Nick Saban, Aaron Rodgers, Bill Belichick, and Jim Harbaugh. Comedians Ray Romano and George Lopez make their return to entertain the crowds.
