The second signature event of the 2025 schedule is almost here. With top names participating in it, there is a special entry as well. Usually, players either in the top 50 of the FedExCup Standing or the top 30 in the OWGR get qualified for the event. However, Jordan Spieth, despite being away from the course due to injury, has qualified for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-AM.

Spieth, who played his last event in 2024 at the St. Jude Championship, took time off due to his left wrist surgery and recovery. The injury became a concern after his 2023 Wells Fargo Championship. However, if we consider the start of it, it goes back to 2017. Now with the 31-year-old returning to the course, fans are amazed with his qualification at the signature event.

Not surprisingly, there are ‌6 ways to earn a place at the signature event. As mentioned above, the top 50 in FedExCup standings and the Top 30 in OWGR are part of the six. The remaining four include AON Next 10, AON Swing 5, current-year tour winners, and sponsor exemptions.

The American professional found its way to the event through sponsor exemption. He has been the corporate sponsor for AT&T since 2014. Following this, the golfer before the full-field list was released confirmed his participation at the event 10 days ago. While he may have not had the best performances due to his recent injury, however, his exceptional career offers a definite entry. The former world no.1 has won 13 PGA Tour titles to date, still making him one of the best golfers out there.

However, even though the signature event has Spieth’s confirmed entry, many other top names will make it a tough comeback for the 31-year-old.
