 Trying to figure out, just how many AT&Ts golf tournaments there are? It's not easy separating the AT&T sponsored pro golf tournaments these days. There's the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, which won by Dustin Johnson back in February. There's the AT&T Classic, formerly called the BellSouth Classic, And then there's "Tiger's Tournament," known formally as the AT&T National, which will be played on Fourth of July weekend.
The AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am is a 72-hole PGA TOUR golf championship dating back to the 1930s when Bing Crosby gathered a 'few friends' to raise money for charity. The event was originally known as the Bing Crosby National Pro-Amateur, or just the Crosby Clambake, and the golf tournament has been held every year at Pebble Beach, California, in the United States. The tournament is typically held during the month of February on three different courses, Pebble Beach Golf Links, Monterrey Peninsula Country Club and Spyglass Hill Golf Course. Designed by Jack Neville and Douglas Grant, the course hugs the rugged coastline, providing wide-open vistas, cliffside fairways and sloping greens. It is a delightful challenge for all players.
Challenging Spyglass Hill offers the true test of courage in a player's heart with its narrow fairways, treacherous greens and high risk / high reward opportunities. Under-rated and often overlooked Monterey Peninsula has been the catalyst and killer to many potential champions of the National Pro-Am in the past.

AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-AM History
Pebble Beach Golf Links has been the site of some of the greatest tournaments ever. The main course has played host to the US Open and it's fabled 18th fairway has seen the thrill of victory & agony of defeat and many times. The AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-AM was first held in 1937 and hosted by Bing Crosby at Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe, California, the event's location prior to World War II. Sam Snead won the first tournament, in which the first place check was for $500.
After the war, the event resumed play in 1947 on golf courses in Pebble Beach, where it has been played ever since. Beginning that year, it was played at Pebble Beach Golf Links, Cypress Point Club and Monterey Peninsula Country Club until 1966. In 1967 Spyglass Hill replaced Monterey Peninsula Country Club as the third course (with the exception of 1977, when it returned to MPCC). In 1991, Cypress Point Club was dropped by the PGA Tour because it would not admit women, and was replaced as a tournament venue by Poppy Hills Golf Course, a move that finalized the current roster of tournament venues.
The AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-AM tournament continues to be a success every year despite the rain fall that typically slows down play, especially in 1996, 1998 and 1999. There is an equivalant celebrity pro-am event on the European PGA Tour, called the Dunhill Links Championship.
The starting field consists of 180 professionals and 180 amateurs. One professional is paired with one amateur. Each day, 60 2-man teams will play on one of the three courses. Then on the final day, those professionals and pro-amateur teams making the 54-hole cut will play on the Pebble Beach Golf Links. Only professionals may compete in the individual competition part of the tournament. Amateurs are restricted to playing only in the pro-amateur team competition.
The local Pebble Beach tournament officials handle pairing of professionals with amateurs, while the PGA Tour's weekly tournament officials handle the assignment of tee times.
2011 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am Results
 Sunday at Pebble Beach turned out to be a real Cinderella story. D.A. Points captured his first PGA Tour victory and dragged along his amateur, Bill Murray of Caddyshack fame, to the pro-am title. One shot behind as he played the second-toughest hole on the course, Points holed out for eagle from 100 yards on the 14th hole and followed that with a bending 30-foot birdie putt. He closed with a 5-under 67 for a two-shot victory in the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.Points became only the fourth player in the last 20 years to make Pebble Beach is first PGA Tour victory.
It was a rare occasion when the winner wasn't even the biggest star.
Murray, famous for his role as assistant greenskeeper Carl Spackler in "Caddyshack," has become a staple at this celebrity-rich tournament over the last two decades and once even tossed an elderly woman into the bunker.
He now gets his name on a plaque in the wall of pro-am champions below the first tee at Pebble Beach.
"Pebble Beach may be the most iconic place in America to play golf, and to win here, it's just a dream come true," said Points, who finished at 15-under 271 and earned his first trip to the Masters.
2010 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am Results
 On a picture-perfect Sunday on the Monterey Peninsula, where the waves crashed into the cliffs of Pebble Beach and a bright sun drenched the fairways, the golf in the final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am was, at times, unsightly. Four players made a quadruple-bogey 9 at the par-5 14th hole. Only seven players broke 70. And Paul Goydos, who began the day tied for the lead at 18 under par, was one of the players to take a nine on the 14th and shot 78 to fall into a tie for fifth. Dustin Johnson wasn't immune from the wreckage, with three bogeys and a double-bogey 6 when he three-putted the ninth from 15 feet. But in the end, Johnson, who began the day tied with Goydos, played the 543-yard, par-5 finishing hole beautifully to end victorious. After a perfect drive and a 3-iron approach into a greenside bunker, Johnson blasted to 3 feet and knocked in the tournament-winning birdie to become the first player to win back-to-back at Pebble Beach in 20 years.
