Matt Fitzpatrick will be the favourite to win the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am when he tees off in the PGA Tour event. 
 
Currently placed 10th on the Official World Golf Rankings, the English star will be the highest ranked golfer among those competing in Pebble Beach.
 
Fitzpatrick has won eight professional tournaments including one the PGA event which is the 2022 US Open which remains his only major championship win.

The Sheffield-born sportsman won the US Open, with a one-shot victory at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts – the same venue where he won the US Amateur in 2013. 
 
As a result, Fitzpatrick joined Jack Nicklaus as the second male golfer to win a US Open and a US Amateur title at the same venue.
 
The Florida-based golfer then finished second at the 2022 DS Automobiles Italian Open when he lost to birdie on first extra hole with Robert MacIntyre winning the event in September.
 
Fitzpatrick is coming into this year's AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am having finished seventh at the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Hawaii three weeks ago.
 
“I spent a lot of time with [Jack Nicklaus]. Particularly January of last year,” Fitzpatrick said ahead of the Sentry Tournament of Champions.
 
“I had the whole of January off so I was practicing at the Bear’s Club. I ended up having lunch with him three or four occasions and we were just chatting about life and golf and stuff. 
 
For me growing up it’s a dream to be able to talk to someone like that, let alone one of the greatest if not the greatest to play the game.”
 
Mark O'Meara and Phil Mickelson are the most decorated golfers in the history of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am with five titles each.
