PGA Tour season began with a bang Thursday at the 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Playing his first round of the PGA Tour's second signature event on Spyglass Hill, the four-time major champion took the lid off the place when his tee shot on the par-3 15th found the bottom of the cup for a hole-in-one.

McIlroy aced the 15th hole at Spyglass Hill in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on Thursday. The world's third-ranked player rattled the flagstick from 119 yards out with a wedge, and the ball dropped into the cup. The hole-in-one helped McIlroy shoot a 6-under 66 in the first round.

Rory McIlroy has suggested that the PGA Tour could scale back the number of tournaments it stages each year in order to combat “fatigue” among golf’s fanbase.
