So, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is in the books for 2026. And let me tell you, some guys walked away with pockets heavier than a Titleist Pro V1 after a rain shower, while others… well, let’s just say they’ll be eating ramen for a while. This year’s purse was a cool $20 million, which sounds like a lot, and it is, but when you’re splitting it amongst a whole field of pros, things get interesting.Collin Morikawa, man. He was apparently on the ledge, feeling the pressure after a rough start to his year. Missed cut at the Sony Open, winless drought stretching over two years. Sounds like a nightmare, right? But then his coach, Rick Sessinghaus, drops some truth bombs. “Go back to who you were.” “Focus on winning.” Not just on making cuts or getting top-20s. And boom. Mindset switch. He went into Saturday wanting to win the whole damn thing. And guess what? He’s got a shot. It’s a small adjustment, he said, but it made all the difference. This is why sports psychologists and coaches are worth their weight in gold, I guess. You can hit the ball all you want, but if your head’s not in the game, you’re screwed.
The Big Winners: Cashing in at Pebble Beach
This is where it gets juicy. The top dogs, the guys who showed up and absolutely crushed it. Collin Morikawa, as we know, took the lion’s share.
- 1. Collin Morikawa: A cool $3.6 million. That’s a nice way to end a winless drought, huh? He’s probably not thinking about missing cuts anymore.
Then you’ve got the guys right on his heels, splitting the next biggest chunks.
- T2. Min Woo Lee: $1.76 million
- T2. Sepp Straka: $1.76 million
It’s always a battle for those top spots. Imagine finishing tied for second and still walking away with almost two million bucks. That’s golf for you.And the guys just outside that? Still making bank.

- T4. Tommy Fleetwood: $877,500
- T6. Sam Burns: $690,000
- T6. Akshay Bhatia: $690,000
See a pattern here? Even finishing in the top 6 at a tournament like this means you’re set for a good long while. These are the guys who are consistently in the mix, the ones you expect to see on the leaderboard every week.
The Mid-Tier Grind: Solid Paydays for Solid Play
Now, we’re getting into the guys who had good weeks, maybe not spectacular wins, but definitely cashed checks that will make their accountants happy. This is where a lot of the tour pros live – not necessarily winning every week, but making a very good living by playing consistently well.
