Tom Hoge surged past Jordan Spieth and win the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am for his first PGA Tour title. The 32-year-old Hoge grew up in North Dakota and played college golf at TCU. He started out on the Canadian tour, where he won in 2011, and has been on the PGA Tour since 2015.
Hoge had been runner-up twice in his previous 202 starts on the PGA Tour, most recently at The American Express two weeks ago. He earned his first trip to Augusta National for the Masters, along with getting a two-year exemption. Until this year, his best season on the PGA Tour was in 2020 when he was 50th in the FedEx Cup and won just over $1.8 million.
“I’m almost a little in shock,” Hoge said. “It’s been so long since I won anything that I forgot how to celebrate.” Hoge, who finished at 19-under 268, earned $1,566,000.
