Golfers Face Nature's Challenge at Pebble Beach

Golfers at the 2026 Pebble Beach Pro-Am are facing more than just competition. Heavy winds and rain are making the course challenging, just as they often do in February.

Weather Forecast: A Major Factor

The forecast for the final rounds is far from ideal:

• Friday and Saturday: No rain expected.
• Saturday Night: Possible rain.
• Sunday: An 80% chance of rain with winds gusting up to 30 mph.

If conditions worsen, the final round may be delayed to Monday or even canceled.

Historical Weather Challenges at Pebble Beach

Pebble Beach has a history of extreme weather disrupting play:

• 1962: Snow and sleet postponed the final round.
• 1998: Heavy rain delayed the tournament for over six months.
• 2025: The final round was canceled due to heavy rain and winds up to 60 mph.

Leaderboard Shake-Up

The competition is intense, with big changes on the leaderboard:

• Keegan Bradley started strong but dropped to 10th place.
• Akshay Bhatia and Ryo Hisatsune are now leading, with Bhatia as the favorite to win.
• Sam Burns and Rickie Fowler are just one stroke behind the leaders.

Conclusion

The tournament is far from over, and weather conditions could play a deciding role. It’s not just about skill—it’s about who can handle whatever nature throws at them.
