AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am will not allow spectators in 2021
Unfortunately, much of what has made 2020 so difficult will carry into 2021.
The 2021 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, held Feb. 11-14, will not allow spectators due to the ongoing threat of the coronavirus pandemic, the tournament announced Friday.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Thursday the state’s strictest measures since the beginning of the pandemic in an effort to temper the surge of new cases and resulting deaths. In the past week, the state has recorded 114,748 new cases, up 21 percent from the previous week. The daily new case total every day this week has consistently reached new records for the state.
“Unfortunately our 2021 event will be unlike any of the previous editions of the tournament since Monterey County remains in a tier that will not permit live audiences at professional events in California,” said Steve John, CEO of the Monterey Peninsula Foundation in a statement. “Our top priority is the safety and well-being of our guests, partners, vendors, volunteers, PGA Tour professionals, caddies, their families, and our community. We continue to work closely with the PGA Tour, as well as local officials, to determine what our event will look like in February.”
While the tournament will not be able to have fans in attendance for the February tournament, Monterey Peninsula Foundation and the PGA Tour still plans to support its charitable partners has it has done through the event since 1947.
The 2021 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am will be televised by the Golf Channel and CBS.
