As the PGA Tour returns to action, so do the one-and-done pools for golf contest players.
For those unfamiliar, OAD pools closely mirror an NFL survivor contest. Players select a golfer each week and earn their prize money at the conclusion of the event.
The catch? Contestants can only use a player once. Additionally, not all prize pools are created equally, which further adds to the game theory.
Below, I’ve outlined three players worth a look for OAD pools this week at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
Golf odds are reflective at the time of writing and are subject to movement.
3 Best Golf One-and-Done Picks for Pebble Beach
Option #1: Justin Rose (+2800)
If you subscribe to the “Rose’s price is too high” betting theory, he still offers upside on one-and-done pools.
Rose finished no worse than T-11th in his last three visits to Pebble Beach. That sample includes a win here in 2023 and a T-3rd in last year’s signature event.
He enters a familiar setup after a win at the Farmers Insurance Open, where he gained 2.2 strokes per round on approach.
Plus, he won a PGA playoff event at TPC Southwind in August. There, he placed 10th or better in both SG: APP and SG: Putting for the week in a strong field.
By historical metrics, Poa greens provide Rose with his best putting surface. Over his last 11 California events with Poa greens, he gained strokes putting nine times.
Pair that record with his recent iron play, and I predict he offers a high floor in this event.
Option #2: Si Woo Kim (+2200)
Each week I worry Kim will regress due solely to the amount of golf he’s playing. Then the tournament ends with the South Korean once again contending.
Kim has played all four events to start the season, making Pebble Beach his fifth straight tournament. He finished sixth or better in three straight and 11th or better in all four.
Elite iron play is driving those performances. Kim leads the field in SG: APP over his last 20 measured rounds, spiking to +2.65 per round at Torrey Pines.
In his last two visits to Pebble Beach, he finished T-12th and T-14th. Before this tournament became a signature event, he finished T-4th in 2019.
A potential cause for concern? Poa putting has given Kim problems of late.
He lost strokes putting in five of his last seven on California Poa greens. In somewhat good news, he gained in two of his last three, including last year at Pebble.
If he can replicate that putting performance from 2025, Kim could contend due to his iron play.
Option #3: Russell Henley (+2800)
If there’s any player who benefited from the tournament playing more rounds at Pebble Beach, I’d suggest it’s Henley.
Before 2025, he played this tournament four times. He finished outside the top 50 three times and never finished better than T-15th. .
Last year, he finished T-5th while ranking seventh in SG: APP and first in SG: Putting. He enters this tournament ranked sixth in SG: APP over his last 50 rounds.
Take the driver out of Henley’s hands and he generally excels. Over his last 50 rounds on “less than driver” setups, he leads the field in driving accuracy.
Henley played five events in 2025 where drivers took a back seat off the tee. He finished 10th or better in all five of those events, including two top-five finishes.
The performances hold up over a larger sample, too. Over the last five years, the Georgia alum played 30 qualifying events, finishing 20th or better in 20 and 10th or better in 12.
