Morikawa Ends Drought With Pebble Beach Win as Peers See Major Surge

Analysts point to elite ball‑striking plus a calming caddie presence as the drivers of a measured resurgence.

Overview

  • Collin Morikawa won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, his first PGA Tour victory since October 2023.
  • He seized control with a 30-foot make on the 15th and a precise approach into 18, finishing one shot ahead of Min Woo Lee and Sepp Straka.
  • Evaluations praise his iron play while noting putting and short-game form remain the key variables to sustain results.
  • With new caddie Mark Urbanek on the bag, Johnson Wagner projects Morikawa to contend at multiple majors this season.
  • Scottie Scheffler and Tiger Woods offered public congratulations, and Morikawa shared that he and his wife are expecting their first child this year.
