After missing the first four tour tournaments due to a freak injury at home wrestling with ravioli and a glass causing a puncture wound and embedded fragments in his right hand requiring surgery, World number 1 Scottie Scheffler will make his 2025 debut at Pebble Beach this weekend.
Also making his 2025 debut will be Jordan Spieth coming off wrist surgery to repair a tendon that apparently has been hampering him for years. The 80 player field will include 17 of the top 20 players in the world.
No 8 ranked Tyrrell Hatton and No. 12 Bryson DeChambeau, the two-time major winner are banned because the play on the LIV Tour. No. 2 Xander Schauffele is recovering from a rib injury.

CS, will they be able to play this weekend because of the wildfires and mudslides? I am not familiar with the location of the course to the wildfires.

Booth, I have not heard of any problems so far. Pebble Beach is over 300 miles north of Los Angeles. I would think they would be in the clear.

LIV tournaments aren't figured into the world golf rankings, which helps the PGA Tour create the image that almost all the top players are on board when that isn't the case. I'm glad as LIV is nothing more than a way for some players to show how greedy they are when they were already making a fantastic living. No loyalty, no interest in history, just a pure materialistic outlook, which unfortunately has become too often the American Way.

Hope to see Spieth bounce back in a big way this year and Scottie continue his dominance by winning at least one major, hopefully not The Masters again but one of the others, or better yet The Masters and at least one other.
 
Rory McIlroy wins the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am by two strokes. It was a very strong field as Pebble Beach is one of the "cathedrals" of U.S. golf courses as Rory put it after winning. He was on his A game, which is always enjoyable to watch. It was Rory's 27th PGA Tour win. He finished at -21, two shots ahead of fellow Irishman Shane Lowry and three shots ahead of Justin Rose and Lucas Glover. Jordan Spieth finished at even par in his first tournament since having wrist surgery.

McIlroy is still a great player, just behind Scottie Scheffler, but has developed a kind of mental block when it comes to the majors. I'd love to see Rory and Scottie both win at least one this year.
 
The opening round of the Waste Mangement Phoenix Open has some familiar names on the front page of the leaderboard!
Justin Thomas has finished his first round with 66 and is tied for first currently. Jordan Spieth had a good opening round 68 and is ina tie for 5th at -3 along with JT Poston -3 local guy from North Carolina.

T-1. J. Thomas -5
T-5 J. Spieth -3
T-5 JT Poston -3 through 15
About 75% of the players have begun their round and world number 1 Scottie Scheffler just bogeyed number 1.
 
Emiliano Grillo aces the famed number 16 hole! The ball didn't roll in. Grillo slam dunked it straight in the hole for a 1!
I've never had a hole in one, but I've holed out from the fairway 3 times for a 2 on a par 4.
 
Spieth finishes the second round in a T-4, -9. A couple of missed puts from being in the lead.
T4. J. Spieth -9
T6. J Thomas -8
T11. Scheffler -7
 
I watched part of the third round today, Spieth is one of four players tied for second at -13, five shots behind the leader Thomas Detry, who has never won a PGA event.

This tournament is always fun to watch. It has to be the most attended golf tournament in the world, with upwards of 200,000 fans on the course just on Saturdays for the third round. The par 3 16th is always set up stadium style, with some 20,000 DWFs whooping it up big time.

Here's how the crowd at 16 reacted in 2022 when Sam Ryder aced it:

​
 
Belgian Thomas Detry still leading through 8. Spieth and Scheffler making some noise.
1. Detry -19
2. Spieth -15
T3. Scheffler
 
Belgian Thomas Detry wins The WM Phoenix Open in convincing fashion at -24. Jordan Spieth made his best showing since wrist surgery at -16. Finishing in a tie for fourth. Justin Thomas T-6 -15
World number 1 Scottie Scheffler finished T-25 at -9. He got so frustrated at one point he slammed his iron into his golf bag. I've never seen him lose his temper before.
We'll be hearing mostly about Tiger Woods this week as he's in The Genesis Open field at Torry Pines-CA
This is what the PGA is calling a "Signature Event." It's a limited field of 72 and increased purses and Fedex Cup points. Not sure how Tiger got in as he is not in the top 50 world rankings, currently 1,195th, or has won anything in years? By contrast, Spieth who finished in the top 80 in Fedex Cup standings last year and is one of the most popular golfers on tour would be heavy draw in any tournament had to qualify to get in. By finishing in the top 5 last week, he qualified.

This just in! Tiger WILL NOT be competing in The Genesis Open due to still mourning his mother Kultida's death. May she rest in peace.
 
I thought Jim Nantz was going to burst out sobbing as he read a rather long tribute to Tiger's mother during the final round of the Phoenix Open. Of course it's sad and it's very, very tough to lose a parent one was close to, but with everything when it comes to Tiger it was overdone several times over. At least viewers got to see again that Tiger is half-Asian as his mother was Thai.
