Coloradan David Duval hasn’t played in a PGA Tour event for six months, but that drought will end this week as he’s entered in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am that starts Thursday on the Monterey Peninsula in California.
While the former world No. 1 now plays just sporadically on the Tour — where he notched all 13 of his victories between 1997 and 2001 — he’s been a fixture at the AT&T Pebble Beach, having missed the event just three times since 1994.
And Duval has not only competed there, he’s excelled, which is no doubt why he continues to land a spot in the field. He’s been runner-up in the tournament three times (1995, ’97 and 2010), with his 2010 showing being the last top-five finish he’s posted in an official PGA Tour event.
In addition, Duval finished eighth at the 2000 U.S. Open that Pebble Beach hosted.
“I’ve always loved coming here,” he said.
This week will mark Duval’s debut in the 2015-16 wraparound season. He made two cuts in six events last season.
(Feb. 13 Update: Duval ended up missing the cut, posting rounds of 71-75-72 for a 3-over-par 218 total.)
