Collin Morikawa is back in the winner’s circle … and he did it in style on one of golf’s grandest stages.
At the 2026 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Morikawa rolled in a clutch birdie on the 72nd hole to reach 22-under-par and edge Min Woo Lee and Sepp Straka by a single shot. The victory marks Morikawa’s first PGA Tour win since the 2023 Zozo Championship and his first triumph on U.S. soil since 2021. It is also his first career win in a signature event, pushing his career total to seven PGA Tour titles and adding a $3.6 million payday.

The final round at Pebble Beach Golf Links was nothing short of electric.
Akshay Bhatia began Sunday with the lead, but the leaderboard quickly turned into a traffic jam. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler made an early charge, playing his first seven holes in 7-under-par to rocket into contention. Scheffler would ultimately post a 9-under 63, highlighted by three eagles and more than 150 feet of putts made — a career best in a single round — finishing at 20 under.
Morikawa, meanwhile, stayed patient. He caught fire on the back nine, draining a 30-foot birdie putt on the 15th and following it with another birdie on 16 to grab control. But the drama wasn’t finished.
After a bogey on the par-3 17th dropped him into a tie with Min Woo Lee at 21 under, Morikawa faced a must-birdie situation on the iconic 18th. Following a tense delay on the fairway, he struck a brilliant approach that set up a simple up-and-down. The birdie sealed the win and ended a three-year drought.
Lee’s closing surge, including birdies on his final two holes, briefly grabbed the clubhouse lead. Sepp Straka also factored into the mix, but neither could match Morikawa’s finishing touch.

Elsewhere, Rory McIlroy fired a bogey-free 64 to climb to 17 under, though earlier double and triple bogeys kept him out of serious contention. Jordan Spieth showed flashes of brilliance but faded late, finishing at 13 under. Viktor Hovland struggled to gain momentum, ending at 6 under in a week better known for viral moments than scoring highlights.
For Morikawa, the victory in his home state of California feels like a reset. With major championships looming and his confidence restored, the two-time major champion once again looks like a force atop the PGA Tour leaderboard.
