AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Shortened to 54 Holes, Wyndham Clark Wins
The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am has officially been shortened to 54 holes due to extreme weather, making Wyndham Clark the winner of the PGA Tour’s second signature event of 2024.
A statement released by PGA Tour officials Sunday evening cited safety concerns and a “Shelter in Place” order for Monterey County as the reasons for the tournament’s early conclusion.
“The storm affecting the Monterey Peninsula throughout the day Sunday is forecast to continue into the early hours of Monday with very strong winds. Although conditions are forecast to improve through the morning Monday, after consultation with Monterey County emergency authorities, who have implemented a Shelter in Place order until early tomorrow morning for the greater Pebble Beach community, and out of an abundance of caution for the safety of all constituents, there will be no play on Monday. Therefore, in accordance with the PGA Tour Regulations the tournament results will be final through the conclusion of 54 holes,” the statement read.
Although one round shorter, the event marks Clark’s third victory on the PGA Tour. During the 2023 season, the Denver, Colo., native won the Wells Fargo Championship followed by his maiden major championship, the U.S. Open at LACC.

"This tournament is very special to me and my caddie, John, mainly because it's both of ours favorite place in the world," Clark said Sunday night in a call with media after being declared the winner. "My caddie grew up in San Jose ... he has always told me 'Wyndham, if there's one thing you do in your career, I don't care if you win a hundred times or one time, I just hope one of them is at Pebble Beach.'"
During Saturday’s round at the iconic oceanside venue, Clark shot a course-record 60 that included two eagles, one bogey and eight birdies. Although Clark knew a 54-hole finish was possible, he said he “wasn’t banking on it” and simply kept in the zone during his record-breaking tear.
“I really wasn't thinking much until you kind of get to that back nine where those last few holes, I was just, you know, see ball, hit ball, try to hit it where I wanted to. I really had a good feel on the greens. So in my mind I was like, all right, let's just get us to where we're putting because the hole seemed like a bucket today,” Clark said after turning in his 60.
Ludvig Aberg, the 24-year-old Swedish star rising in the pro ranks, finished in solo second place at 16 under par, with France’s Matthieu Pavon at 15 under in solo third.
Wind gusts reached 60 mph on Sunday, causing the entire final round to be initially postponed and then cancelled. The PGA Tour season continues next with the WM Phoenix Open, where Scottie Scheffler will look to three-peat.
