The PGA Tour returns to its regular schedule this week when the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am tees off Thursday on California's Monterey Peninsula. The first tee times come at 11:30 a.m. ET. It will be another multiple-course exam, with each golfer facing Spyglass Hill and Monterey Peninsula once apiece. Pebble Beach will host two rounds, including Sunday's finale. Three-time major winner Jordan Spieth and reigning U.S. Open Matt Fitzpatrick champion lead a 156-player field that will be joined by an equal number of amateurs. Tom Hoge is back to defend his only PGA Tour title, which he won last year after surging past Spieth over the final three holes and beating him by two strokes.

The latest 2023 Pebble Beach Pro-Am odds from Caesars Sportsbook have Spieth (9-1), Fitzpatrick (10-1) and Hovland (10-1) leading seven golfers priced shorter than 30-1. Hoge is listed at 17-1, just behind Maverick McNealy (16-1) and ahead of Seamus Power (19-1) and Justin Rose (24-1), in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am 2023 field.

McDonald is up more than 33 units this season, for a profit of more than $3,300 for $100 bettors. He also has been on the money on his matchup plays and cashed in huge on Brendan Steele (80-1) as the first-round leader at the Zozo Championship. The expert finished the 2021-22 season up 42 units on his outrights, including a monster 250-1 payout on Hudson Swafford at The American Express.

Top 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am expert picks

One stunning prediction from McDonald: Spieth's impressive run at Pebble Beach comes to an end. The 29-year-old won the 2017 Pebble Beach Pro-Am and has five other top-10 finishes in 10 appearances, including the past three. Still, McDonald says Spieth is "an easy pass" at these odds. Spieth's inconsistency was summed up well in his last outing, when he opened the Sony with a 64 and the lead, then shot 75 and had to pack up early. He hasn't finished in the top 10 in his first three events of this season and is 147th in scoring average.

Meanwhile, Hovland has been a model of consistency, which is why the 25-year-old is among the favorites. The young Norwegian capped 2022 with a second Hero World Challenge victory in December. In his four official events in 2022-23, he has two top-10's and hasn't finished lower than 21st. Hovland has played Pebble Beach twice and tied for 12th in the 2019 U.S. Open. In the 2020 Pro-Am, he entered the final round in the top 15 but shot 77 on Sunday to tie for 38th. Now he comes in 20th on tour in scoring average and seventh in birdie average (5.06 per round). You can see who he is backing this week at SportsLine.
