Lackluster fields, slow play and zero buzz have been the Tour's story so far in 2025, but the ingredients are in place this week to change the narrative.

Viktor Hovland is one of the top players in golf, a former FedEx Cup champion, and he still marvels at his 2018 victory in the U.S. Amateur at Pebble Beach. “One of my favorites courses in the world, places in the world,” he said.

After recovering from a freak injury suffered during the holidays, Scottie Scheffler is back on tour and ready to hopefully have a good showing this weekend. The world No. 1 might be a little rusty after so much time off, but whenever the big man is on the course, Scheffler is always a contender.

Rory McIlroy has suggested that the PGA Tour could scale back the number of tournaments it stages each year in order to combat “fatigue” among golf’s fanbase.

Rory McIlroy said Tuesday he understands how the golf consumer might be fatigued with all the different forms of the game that now exist and even suggested lessening the number of events on the PGA Tour could help.

McIlroy makes his season debut on the U.S.-based circuit this week at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, one of the tour’s $20 million signature events. It’s a big week—or at least it’s supposed to be, with a limited field of 80 players that includes 45 of the top 50 in the world playing one of the most iconic courses on the planet.

Rory McIlroy said there’s space for different golf products but expressed concern for the game becoming overexposed.
