With three world-class courses in the rotation and 180 players in the field, anything can -- and likely will -- happen at this week's AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

Anything, that is, except for a repeat champion. Arron Oberholser, who earned his first career PGA Tour victory at last year's AT&T, will forgo this week's event because of a lingering back injury.

So, who will take the title this time around? Our experts give their predictions for Pebble Beach.

AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am experts' predictions

Horse for the Course	Singh There are three courses in the Pebble Beach rotation, and they all are quite different. Holding your own on the two that have just one round -- Poppy Hills and Spyglass -- is imperative. That said, Vijay Singh has played well here, with six top-10s, including a victory, in his last eight appearances.	Singh Really, can't Vijay Singh be considered a horse for any course? The '04 AT&T champ looked as if he was getting back into the groove during the weekend at the FBR. Expect him to put together four solid rounds this week.	Singh Vijay Singh has won here and finished second a couple of times. Plus, his amateur partner is close friend Ted Forstmann.	Weir Little lefty Mike Weir has six top-10s in nine starts at the AT&T, including a T-3 finish in 2006.
Birdie Buster	Mickelson Phil Mickelson is off to a slow start, but it's not because he doesn't make enough birdies. It has more to do with his numerous bogeys, which have led to three very lackluster performances in '07. Still, Mickelson shot 62 at Spyglass just two years ago.	Warren Who is Charles Warren? He just happens to be the PGA Tour's leading putter right now, after finishing 148th a year ago. He also hits it a long way off the tee, which should equal plenty of birdies.	Baddeley Aaron Baddeley is on a roll and will go low a couple of times, still riding the wave from his victory in Phoenix.	Watson No sophomore slump for Bubba Watson. Aside from finishing in the top 10 in each of his past two events, long-hitting Watson, who will have to hit it straighter this week, is third on tour in total birdies.
Super Sleeper	Gogel Matt Gogel captured his only PGA Tour title at Pebble Beach in 2002 but is retiring after this year's event. It would only be fitting if he went out a winner -- and yet, if he wins, would he change his mind?	Watney Nick Watney won the offseason Callaway Golf Pebble Beach Invitational in '05, so he'll have good memories of returning to the three-course rotation this time around.	Watson Stanford kid Tom Watson comes back to the Bay Area and sets hearts a-fluttering for a few days.	Bowden Craig Bowden has made just one cut so far this year, but is accurate off the tee and a former Nationwide standout, and this is probably the best week to be someone from Indiana.
Winner	Watson Long-hitting lefty Bubba Watson has had a couple of solid weeks, with a tie for fourth at the Buick Invitational and a tie for eighth at the FBR Open. Pebble is not necessarily the place for a first-time winner, but his game suggests perhaps he is ready to break through.	Van Pelt It's about time for one of the tour's top players without a win to finally see the winner's circle. Brett Quigley? Daniel Chopra? Maybe, but the pick here is Bo Van Pelt.	Love Davis Love III is another past champion here and a guy who is going to win somewhere this year. Might as well be at the AT&T.	Donald Winning at the various courses at Pebble Beach takes an all-around game ... and a lot of patience with pro-am rounds creeping toward six hours. Luke Donald has both, along with strong past results here with three finishes in the top 20.
