When it first began in 1937, "the tournament now known as the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am started out in Rancho Sante Fe, California when Bing Crosby invited some friends to play golf, enjoy a clambake and a raise a little money for charity." [Source: AT&T Pro-Am].

In addition to being a tourist-draw and revenue-generator for the entire area of the Monterey Peninsula, the AT&T National Pro-Am Golf Tournament acts as a charitable fundraiser for numerous non-profit organizations. "Hosted by Monterey Peninsula Foundation, Birdies For Charity is a fundraising program that has helped Northern California charities raise over $1,200,000 in the program’s five year history."
