What is the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and how can you help?

GARETH BALE has traded his football boots for some golf clubs instead as the Welsh icon has made his debut at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Bale, 33, shockingly announced to the world that he has called it quits on his illustrious footballing career.

But the Welsh hero wasted little time in fulfilling his admiration for golf by making his debut on the Californian golf course.

And Bale will be joined by the likes of American actor Bill Murray as well as NFL star Aaron Rodgers.

What is AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am?

The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is a professional golf tournament on the PGA tour.

It is held at Pebble Beach, California and the tournament usually takes place during the month of February.

And golfers play on three different courses – Pebble Beach Golf Links, Spyglass Hill Golf Course and Monterey Peninsula Country Club.

Pebble Beach Pro-Am was founded in 1937 and the first tournament was hosted by entertainer Bing Crosby and Larry Crosby in San Diego County.

Sam Snead won the first ever competition at just 18-holes and took home a jackpot of $500 (£408)

By 1958, Pebble Beach Pro-Am became a 74-hole tournament and has since had notable players take part such as Tom Brady, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods.

What is the format and how much can be won?

The starting field consists of 156 professionals and 156 amateurs.

Each professional is then paired with an amateur and then on the first three days, the two-man teams play a better ball format with one round on each of the three courses.

Pros also play an individual stroke play format and then on the final day, those who have made the cut will battle it out on the Pebble Beach Golf Links.

This year, the entire purse for the Pebble Beach Pro-Am is $9million (£7.3m) but the winner’s share a total of $1,620,000 (£1.3m).
