Having gone into Sunday with such high hopes, it was desperately disappointing that none of our picks could quite manage to get the job done.
From five picks, all of Fitzpatrick, McNealy and Knapp headed into the final round with realistic prospects of winning, while Theegala held a decent chance of making the top 5; at that point it seemed inconceivable that we could finish up with nothing to show for it. Unfortunately, despite two finishing in the top 10 and two more inside the top 20, we ended up drawing a blank. Even our fifth selection, JT Poston performed with credit in finishing just inside the top 40. Hopefully some of you also played the picks in the top 10/20/40 markets as well – we know some of our clients did so and managed to generate a decent return.
If the event was re-run tomorrow, we’d happily go in again with the same selections, so we know we’re on the right lines and hopefully it’s just a matter of being patient until the putts start to drop at the right time and we can convert a nice financial return.
The PGA Tour heads to the Monterey Peninsula from February 12–15, 2026, for one of the most iconic events in golf — the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro‑Am. Now elevated to Signature Event status, the tournament blends world‑class professionals, celebrity amateurs, and three of the most scenic courses on the planet.
Rory McIlroy returns as the defending champion after a dominant performance in 2025, where he shot 21‑under to win by three over Shane Lowry.
Headline pick: Jason Day (4 units win +4000, 4 units Top 5 +750)
