Jordan Spieth‘s first appearance of the 2026 season is confirmed. He will play in the Sony Open in Hawaii next week. However, the three-time major winner previously committed to another event this year. And it was assumed that he was not qualified to play in it after his 54th-place FedEx Cup finish last season.

As per Spieth Tracker, he has been confirmed for the first $20 million event of the season. The account tweeted that he is “Committed to the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Lets go.”
This might come as a surprise to many, as Spieth didn’t take the traditional route to qualify for the event. His 54th-place in the FedEx Cup last season got him a ticket to The PLAYERS Championship. His wins in the 2015 Masters Tournament and the 2017 Open Championship make him eligible for both the majors until he’s 60.
However, the 32-year-old is not qualified for all the Signature events in 2026. Spieth could have qualified for them in the fall of last year if he had made it within the AON Next 10. However, he didn’t make any appearances in the FedEx Cup Fall season, dropping him to the 61st spot on the leaderboard. That pushed him out of a spot for most Signature events.

So how did the 13-time PGA Tour champion make the field for the first Signature event of the season? Well, Spieth has been signed with AT&T since 2014, a year after he received his PGA Tour membership. They have endorsed him even during his career slump from 2018 to 2021.
But was that the route he took to make the field at Pebble Beach? He had already received one too many exemptions in 2025, and Spieth wasn’t too happy with the backlash he faced from the fans. However, this time around, he didn’t need to take the path.
Since he was within the AON Next 10 bubble during the FedEx Cup season, he earned the right to play in the first two Signature events. That means, not only can he participate in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, but also in the 2026 Genesis Invitational.
That said, how is Spieth expected to perform at Pebble Beach this year? Let’s look at his past performances.

Will Jordan Spieth be able to take advantage of the great opportunity?
Jordan Spieth will be making his 14th appearance in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am this year. And he would hope that it would be a fruitful outing.
Spieth holds a great record in the event already. He has finished in the top 10 six times so far. He also won it once in 2017 and finished as a runner-up in 2022. Unfortunately, that was the last time he delivered a great performance in the tournament.
Since 2023, the 3-time major winner has struggled to bag even a top-25 finish. His worst performance came in 2025, when he managed a T69 after ending the tournament on even par. But his form improved drastically throughout the season as he got four top-10s.
Assuming that the Sony Open is the only event he would have played before visiting Pebble Beach, it will be interesting to see if Jordan Spieth is still in form or if he’s starting from zero again.
