Saturday’s weather forecast at Pebble Beach calls for plenty of wind, rain, and chilly temperatures — less-than-ideal conditions for the third round of the 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
Gusts will reach 30 miles per hour throughout the day, and given Pebble Beach’s proximity to the Pacific Ocean, anything can happen. That means Sepp Straka’s three-shot lead is nowhere near safe, despite the Austrian posting a pair of 7-under 65s over the first 36 holes.
“You’ve just got to keep trying to execute, keep trying to hit golf shots,” Straka said, explaining how he will try to navigate the weather over the weekend.
“When you have chances to make birdies, you still have to be pretty aggressive. Yeah, you’ve just got to take what the course gives.”
Given that the temperature on Saturday will not even break 60 degrees, the golf ball will not travel far at all. It’s going to be an absolute grind for the players, although it will likely entertain everyone watching from home.
“Oh, man, try to be positive,” Russell Henley added.
“Everybody’s going to deal with it. So I’m just going to try to commit to my shots, make some good decisions, and hopefully that works out.”
Last year, severe weather impacted the final round of the tournament, as TV towers, hospitality tents, and other temporary structures fell over due to the driving wind and rain. Officials had no choice but to declare Wyndham Clark the winner after 54 holes. During the third round, Clark fired a 12-under 60, setting the Pebble Beach course record in the process. He did not know it at the time, but it ended up giving him the victory.
Although this year’s weather does not look as severe, it will undoubtedly impact the entire field on Saturday. Get ready to see plenty of rain gear, hoodies, winter hats, and gloves as the players battle Mother Nature in one of the most picturesque locales on the planet.
