Championships at Pebble Beach Golf Links
It all began with the Pebble Beach Un-official Opening Day Tournament on April 1, 1918, when Mike Brady from Boston finished with the best card in a tournament of high scores—the course was, after all, still in development. Since then, Pebble Beach Golf Links has been the site of golf’s most prestigious tournaments.
