Golfers Face Nature's Challenge at Pebble Beach

Golfers at the 2026 Pebble Beach Pro-Am are up against more than just each other. The weather is throwing some serious curveballs. Heavy winds and rain are making things tough for the pros, just like they often do in February. The forecast isn't looking great for the final rounds. No rain is expected on Friday or Saturday, but Saturday night might see some. Sunday, however, is a different story. There's an 80% chance of rain, and winds could gust up to 30 mph. If the weather gets too wild, the final round might be pushed to Monday or even canceled.This isn't the first time Pebble Beach has seen bad weather. Over the years, rain, snow, sleet, and strong winds have messed with the course and the players. In 1962, snow and sleet postponed the final round. In 1998, heavy rain delayed it for over six months. Just last year, the final round was canceled due to heavy rain and winds up to 60 mph. But the weather isn't the only thing shaking up the tournament. The leaderboard has seen some big changes. Keegan Bradley started strong but dropped to 10th place. Akshay Bhatia and Ryo Hisatsune are now leading, with Bhatia being the favorite to win. Sam Burns and Rickie Fowler are also in the mix, just one stroke behind the leaders. The tournament is far from over, and the weather might just play a big role in who comes out on top. It's not just about skill; it's about who can handle whatever nature throws at them.
