Collin Morikawa won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am with a final score of -22, birdieing the iconic 18th hole to edge out Min Woo Lee and Sepp Straka by a single stroke.
He’s earned his 7th PGA TOUR title, completely altering the trajectory of his 2026 campaign.
Surviving the Crowded Leaderboard
Signature events bring the world’s best into the mix. Morikawa said it himself after his victory, “Don’t get me wrong, I saw the leaderboard… I saw those names. But I was willing to take on the challenge and go out and execute, and not get ahead of myself.”
The names he saw? Scottie Scheffler, Tommy Fleetwood, Sam Burns, Min Woo Lee, Sepp Straka, Akshay Bhatia — All PGA TOUR winners, all within a stroke or two down the stretch. Not to mention the slew of other capable winners just a few strokes back.
The weather was only getting worse, and the scoring holes started to look less predictable. Someone was going to prevail, and by the looks of the leaderboard, it could’ve been anyone. Collin Morikawa birdied three of his last four holes, which was just too much for the others, considering his position after Saturday’s masterclass.
Among the list of greats, Morikawa prevailed.
Saturday’s Career Round
Morikawa shot 10-under 62 on Saturday, hitting 18/18 greens in regulation in what was the best statistical ball-striking performance of his career. He gained 6.472 strokes on the field in approach shots, the best SG: Approach number of his career, the best in AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am history, and the second best in the Shotlink era dating to 2004.
In short, many have never seen anyone approach the green better than Collin Morikawa did on Saturday at Pebble Beach. Sepp Straka admitted that Morikawa is one of the best iron players of this generation of golfers, and it was on full display.
He earned his way into the final group on Sunday. He was brilliant again in round four, battling both the game’s best and the harsh weather en route to his first PGA TOUR victory in 847 days.
Final Round Chaos
There were countless storylines to follow on Sunday. Scottie Scheffler shot a final-round 63 to jump into contention, posting three eagles on the day, including the 18th. Jacob Bridgeman had the solo lead heading into his back 9. Echavarria holed out on 11 to get within a stroke of the lead.
Min Woo Lee birdied the 18th to reach 21-under, -7 on the day, and Sepp Straka eagled the final hole to tie Lee at 21-under (Straka went -4 in his final three holes).
But none of it was enough to outlast Morikawa, who was just too good all weekend long.
Morikawa birdied the 15th and 16th to reach 22-under, then bogeyed the 17th to fall back into a tie, perhaps just for the sake of drama. In the fairway on 18 with 235 yards to the green, Morikawa had to wait 20 minutes for Jacob Bridgeman to get a ruling, take a drop, and finish 18 in a war against the wind.
His most anticipated shot in years, and he just had to keep on anticipating…
Finally his turn, Morikawa landed his second shot just short of the green, barely in the rough. He trusted his putter out of it, knocking it to 16 inches. A tap-in for the Signature victory made it all worth it.
Tommy Fleetwood is Still Tommy Fleetwood
In his 2026 debut, Tommy Fleetwood finished T-4.
By the end of last year, you could argue Tommy was playing as well as anyone in the world. His first start this year only showed us the same.
2026 will be a big one for Tommy.
What Comes Next?
Morikawa looks to continue this momentum into his hometown of Los Angeles, where he’ll compete in The Genesis Invitational alongside LAGC teammates Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, and Sahith Theegala.
While the season has only just begun, Rose and Morikawa have wins, Tommy just notched a T-4 finish, and Theegala has played his way into the FedExCup top-20.
These guys are on an incredible run, and we look for that to continue next week at The Genesis Invitational.
