About that title. Please forgive me Rene’, but it came to mind. Because there is no tournament more associated with the moniker “Pro-Am” than this one. Pebble Beach in February, the Crosby, the ol’ Clam Bake. And if you take the “Am” out, you’re just left with the “Pro”. Which might not be a bad thing.
In every other iteration of this tournament, each eligible pro golfer has an amateur partner for the week. The pros are playing not only for individual glory (titles, money, FedEx Cup points, exemptions, etc.), but they are playing with their amateur in a tourney within a tourney - the team title.
