Tom Hoge will be determined to become the seventh golfer to successfully defend the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am title.
 
Dustin Johnson, Tom Watson, Cary Middlecoff, Jack Nicklaus, Sam Snead and Mark O'Meara are the six players who have won back-to-back titles. 
 
Hoge clinched his first PGA Tour event at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am after 203 PGA Tour starts as he made a breakthrough in his professional career.

The American golfer, who played college golf at Texas Christian University, shot a final round 68 to win by two strokes over Jordan Spieth.
 
Hoge is currently placed 29th on the Official World Golf Rankings and he came close to winning his second PGA Tour event at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions.
 
The North Carolina-born golfer finished third behind Collin Morikawa and Jon Rahm who won the tournament by two shots three weeks ago.
 
Hoge then took part in the 2023 American Express where he finished 32nd and he is now set to start his defence of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am title.

“When I first went to Pebble Beach, I didn’t play particularly well there,” said Hoge when reflecting on the 2022 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
 
“I felt like it wasn’t a golf course that really suited me well. “But the more I look at the course, I think, ‘I really should play well here.’ 
 
"I had played well before (two career seconds, two career thirds) on the PGA Tour. But what I put stock in at that AT&T is that I played well for four days.”
 
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.
