The PGA Tour stays in California for the third week in a row for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. It’s the Tour’s second Signature Event of the season and will mark a structural change to the usual Pebble Beach format: it will be an 80-player field, with no cut, and amateurs will play with the pros for only the first two rounds, rather than three.

The Players Championship will be March 13-16 at the Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass. It’s 43 days until the first round.
