The Sleeper Report: Fantasy Golf Sleepers, Long Shots, and Undervalued Picks for the 2015 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am

Event Preview

The California swing of the PGA season is in full effect as players nowhead to beautiful Pebble Beach this week to play in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am tournament. Spectators who make their way to one of the three courses played throughout the event will be there to see some of the great celebrities, which include Bill Murray, Wayne Gretzky, Don Cheadle, Andy Garcia, Buster Posey and Ray Romano, on top of the great golf that is sure to ensue.

Typically this leg of the season features fields which are fairly weak and allows some fresh faces to adorn the winners circle, and this week there will be nine of the top-25 golfers from the OWGR among the field, with No. 4 Jason Day being the best of the bunch as he comes off a playoff win in the Farmers Insurance Open. Another top golfer, No. 6 Jim Furyk, will be making his season debut when he tees off on Thursday as he looks to build on a phenomenal 2014 campaign where he failed to earn a victory but had four impressive runner-up finishes.

Last year it was Jimmy Walker that hoisted the trophy on Sunday here in what was his third win in just eight events to start the year as he began to make a name for himself. He also nearly gave this one away, firing a 74 on Sunday after shooting a 69 or better in each of the first three days. Walker was just able to fend off the likes of Dustin Johnson and Jim Renner by a single stroke. If Johnson had won it would have been his third career win at this tournament after taking it in back-to-back years in 2009 and 2010. DJ will be in attendance this week for just his second start of the year after a six-month personal hiatus from the game. He failed to make the cut last week at the Farmers Insurance Open but should be able to play better at a course which has been good to him over the years. Dustin will be joined by Davis Love III as the only two golfers who have multiple victories in this event while Jimmy Walker, Brandt Snedeker, D.A. Points, and Vijay Singh have all also won here in the past.

With this time of the year being all about fresh, young players making a name for themselves and journeymen returning to their former glory, let’s check out a few who have a chance to bring home the bacon come Sunday afternoon.
