Breaking down three matchup bets for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am including Collin Morikawa to defeat Rory McIlroy.

LIV Golf announced it has signed Northern Ireland’s Tom McKibbin. McKibbin, 22, has been linked to the Saudi-backed league for months, and did not comment on the speculation when pressed earlier this month at the DP World Tour’s Team Cup.

After recovering from a freak injury suffered during the holidays, Scottie Scheffler is back on tour and ready to hopefully have a good showing this weekend. The world No. 1 might be a little rusty after so much time off, but whenever the big man is on the course, Scheffler is always a contender.

Rory McIlroy's drive to win The Masters in 2025, completing his career grand slam, is fueled by a difficult 2024.

Northern Ireland's Tom McKibbin has spurned the advice of mentor Rory McIlroy and is giving up a PGA Tour card to join Saudi-backed LIV Golf.

Twenty-two-year-old Tom McKibbin, who is currently 21st in the European Ryder Cup rankings, will join Rahm’s Legion XIII and play alongside him, Tyrrell Hatton, and Caleb Surratt. McKibbin hails from Northern Ireland and grew up playing at Holywood Golf Club, the same course Rory McIlroy played as a youth.

For a sport needing a jolt of energy, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is as good a test as any. Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy make their PGA Tour season debuts, while Jordan Spieth returns following wrist surgery last summer.

Most sports are speeding up to cater to the modern world, but golf is slowing down and it’s a problem that only has one solution.

The PGA Tour has done a comprehensive survey of fans, and the results are driving initiatives, including addressing slow play.
