10 Memorable Pro-Am Moments

The pro-am in golf has been one of the long-standing traditions across all the professional tours. The whole idea is that it gives regular people the opportunity to play with their heroes inside the ropes at a professional tournament. Usually, these occur Wednesday before the official start of the event, however, some tour stops offer four full rounds and a trophy at the end of it. The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is a great example of this. 

While you would think it would be nerve-racking to play along side your idols, you’d be surprised how easy it is for them to bring the best out of you. From amazing putts, to hole-in-ones, to even challenging them at their own games, the pro-am has and will always be a fan-favorite. Here are 10 of the best moments we’ve seen from them over the years.

28-time Olympic medal winner Michael Phelps snaked in this absurd 159ft putt during the 2012 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. If you’re scoring at home, that’s 53 yards! That’s almost longer than we can swim!
