PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FLORIDA – The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am (Pebble Beach, California) was honored by the PGA TOUR at the TOUR’s Tournament Meetings on December 7. The 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, hosted at Pebble Beach Golf Links and Spyglass Hill Golf Course, was recognized for “Best Charitable Impact and Integration” and earned the inaugural “PGA TOUR Sustainability Award presented by WM Phoenix Open.
This is the first time since the 2018-19 season the PGA TOUR has presented a complete roster of tournament awards, due to challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
“On behalf of the PGA TOUR, I am thrilled to congratulate the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on being recognized with a ‘Best Of’ award for the 2022-23 PGA TOUR Season,” said PGA TOUR Chief Competitions Officer Tyler Dennis. “After several years of challenges related to the pandemic and its impacts on event operations, I’m pleased we are able to once again celebrate the incredible work all PGA TOUR tournaments have accomplished to elevate the experience for players and fans. Our award winners should be extremely proud to be recognized as top among their peers on TOUR.”

The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am was also recognized with the inaugural “PGA TOUR Sustainability Award presented by WM Phoenix Open.” In addition to the tournament receiving GEO Certification three years in a row for demonstrating environmental and social responsibility, both host courses (Pebble Beach Golf Links and Spyglass Hill Golf Course) have been certified by the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program.
