Excitement And Mayhem Persists At The AT & T Pebble Beach Pro-Am
Probably one of the most loved golf games in the world, the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am begins on February 10th to the delight of many golf fans. The greatness of the Pebble Beach AT&T Pro-Am and that fans from far and wide come to witness the tournament is the fun and humility displayed by the athletes. Although people are always concerned with their golf scores, this tournament has a care-free, easy going feeling that many note it as their favorite of the year.
Every year each pro golfer is coupled with an amateur player to play with in the tournament. Due to its close relation to Los Angeles, more than a few celebrities have confirmed for the event, which is the reason why it usually gets nationwide television coverage and many golf fans view it as one of the best tournament games of the year. After three days of fun and mayhem with the celebrities, the professionals who make the 54 hole cut go on the main competition which has a purse of over a million dollars.
A few celebrities that always drew a following were Ray Romano or Bill Murray, who, in previous years, has had a tendency of dancing with the spectators and lounging in the bunkers. While this keeps both the golfers and the audience on their toes, it shows the fun nature of the sport and how easy it is to get wrapped up in the excitement.
This year more than a few A list celebrities have already confirmed including boxing legend Oscar de la Hoya, Ray Romano, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, Kurt Russell, Kevin Costner and, of course, Bill Murray. They will be paired with high class golfers such as Phil Mickelson, Justin Leonard and Davis Love III, who recently made golf news by becoming Ryder Cup 2012 Captain. The golfers will try to give good golf advice to the celebs while the celebs remind the pros about the fun of the game.
Each year the tournament is filled with funny incidents and a lot of great competition. For the past two years American Dustin Johnson has come out on top winning the million dollar prize. While nobody knows who’ll win, there’s certain to be a great deal of excitement and fun during the tournament.
