Scottie Scheffler is preparing himself for a crazy final round at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on Sunday.
The PGA Tour have moved tee times forward due to the threat of high winds and heavy rain on Sunday at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
As a result, Scheffler will be teeing off at 8:28 am local time – more than 75 minutes before the leaders head out.
How many times do you think Scottie Scheffler will win in 2026?
Over or under 4.5…
Scheffler fired a third-round 67 at Pebble Beach on Saturday, but he clearly still wasn’t anywhere near his best.
The fact that Scheffler is even inside the top-25 this week is hard to believe, considering how poor his approach play has been.
Scheffler has struggled terribly with his irons during the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, but he still has a chance to finish inside the top-10 on the PGA Tour for the 18th consecutive time.
Could the American be setting his sights even higher, though?
Scottie Scheffler says ‘crazy things can happen’ at Pebble Beach
Despite the fact that he hasn’t been anywhere near his best this week, Scheffler still heads into the final round with an extremely slight outside chance of winning.
Scheffler was asked by one reporter whether he believes he can still win at Pebble Beach on Sunday.
“I mean, I don’t want to rule anything out for myself,“ Scheffler said.
“You never want to limit yourself. I’d obviously like to be in a better position on the leaderboard. But yeah, with crazy weather, crazy things can happen and we’ll see what I can do tomorrow.“
Akshay Bhatia and those tucked in just behind him should be seriously concerned by Scheffler’s remarks.
If the world number one comes out of the blocks quickly and manages to get to around four-under after six holes, the leaders will notice his name on the leaderboard instantly.
Added to that, Scheffler will be teeing off around 75 minutes before the leaders, so he won’t have to deal with the crazy weather at Pebble Beach for as long as the likes of Bhatia will.
Scheffler coming back to win at Pebble Beach is still a long shot. However, one thing’s for sure – Bhatia will be keeping a close eye on how the 29-year-old from Dallas starts his final round…
Is consecutive top-10 record something that drives Scottie Scheffler?
Scheffler has the third most consecutive top-10s in PGA Tour history right now, with 17.
He’s behind only Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson on the all-time list.
After his third round at Pebble Beach, the 29-year-old was asked how much his top-10 streak means to him, and he responded in Scheffler fashion.
Do you think Scottie Scheffler will beat Tiger Woods’ consecutive cuts record?
He's not even halfway there right now…
“I mean, I think 17 straight top-10s is a good result from a lot of consistent play,“ he said.
“Outside of that, I could not care any less.“
That answer proves how Scheffler is only out there to win.
When he’s on the golf course, he grinds and battles harder than anyone else to try and finish as high up the leaderboard as he can.
However, when he’s finished, a top-10 finish is meaningless to him.
Scheffler is only interested in winning and if he is to do that at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am this week, he will need to go low, regardless of whether or not the leaders stall during the wind and rain.
