Jason Day will be hoping to clinch his first
AT & T Pebble Beach Pro-Am title when he participates in this year's competition.
The Australian superstar is a former number one in the World Golf Ranking, having first achieved the ranking in September 2015.
Day first broke into the world's top ten in June 2011, rising to world number nine after his runner-up finish at the U.S Open.
The Queensland-born golfer won his first WGC title, the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship and would win it for the second time in 2016.

With his 2016 win, Day joined Tiger Woods and Geoff Ogilvy as the only multiple winners of the WGC Match Play.
Day went on to win his first major tournament at the 2015 PGA Championship, scoring a record 20 strokes under par and rising to number three in the world rankings.
The 33-year-old has battled with chronic back pain during his career and the last time he won a trophy was in 2018.
Day clinched the 2018 Farmers Insurance Open, at Torrey Pines for a second time and he then won the Wells Fargo Championship.

Day recently confirmed that he has started working with a new golf coach in Chris Como, a man who once worked with Tiger Woods between 2014 and 2017.
"I feel like things are progressing nicely with my swing, but I just really have to be very patient with the technical aspect of it," said Day.
"We're trying to get better hip movement, we're going to get a little bit deeper on the backswing in regard to the hip motion, and I'm trying to get a little bit more turn in the upper body. Last year was kind of coming over the top of it just to kind of alleviate some of the back pain.
"Right now, if I do it correctly, it doesn't hurt my back, which is tremendous. For the longest time, I was swaying a little bit, getting a little bit too much tilt in my upper body, and that was forcing my right hip to sway out and then I'd get too lateral going forward," he added.
"Then I would crunch down to try and lift the ball up, and crunch down my back and I just did it over time and over and over again, and then sooner or later it would just kind of flare up and go out."
