World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler looked much like the world No. 1 Thursday at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am as he effectively navigated his way through Spyglass Hill en route to a 5-under 67 in his first round of the 2025 PGA Tour season.

Scheffler went from the hill right of the 10th fairway at Spyglass to a front bunker, blasted out some 20 feet and missed his par putt. That was his only bogey, though he was 1 over until lacing the fairway metal to 30 feet for two-putt birdie on the par-5 14th, just as McIlroy on the hole next to him plucked his ball from the cup.

Twenty-seven players in the world top 30 will play for the $3.6 million winner’s check (from a $20 million purse), with the only players missing being world No. 2 Xander Schauffele ( rib injury) and LIV golfers Tyrrell Hatton and Bryson DeChambeau.
