The AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, a 72-hole PGA Tour golf championship, was originally called the Bing Crosby National Pro-Amateur or simply the Crosby Clambake in the 1930s. Originally, Crosby played with a “few friends” to raise money for charity and have some fun. It is held annually at Pebble Beach, CA usually in February on 3 different courses: Pebble Beach Golf Links, Poppy Hills Golf Course and Spyglass Hill Golf Course.
