Brandt Snedeker comes to the 2016 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am as a record-setting returning champion, and still probably wouldn't crack the top-10 most talked about player heading into the week at one of the PGA Tour's truly iconic settings.
Snedeker shot 22-under in 2015 to break a tournament record he'd set just two years before, which has to make Snedeker, who already has a win this season at Torrey Pines, one of the favorites.
But in a field with Jordan Spieth, Phil Mickelson, and Jason Day, not to mention celebrity stars like Bill Murray, Wayne Gretzky and others, it's easy to see why the returing champion may not be grabbing the headlines.

Rex Hoggard
Group 1: Dustin Johnson: The guy's record at Pebble Beach, where he's won twice and has six top-10 finishes, is all you really need to know.
Group 2: Jimmy Walker: Another player with a solid record on the Monterey Peninsula who has been playing well lately, with top-10 finishes in three of his last four starts.
Group 3: Greg Owen: One of the game's best ball-strikers struggles from time to time with the putter but that will be mitigated at Pebble Beach, which has some of the PGA Tour's smallest greens.
Group 4: Aaron Baddeley: The Australian's work with swing coach Scott Hamilton continues to pay off, with top-10 finishes in two of his last six starts.
Will Gray
Group 1: Dustin Johnson: It's hard to pass up on guys like Jordan Spieth and Jason Day, but I'll take my chances with a player who has finished T-8 or better in seven of his nine trips to Pebble Beach since 2008, including the 2010 U.S. Open.
Group 2: Jimmy Walker: Last year's T-21 finish broke his run of four straight top-10 finishes here, but his 68.85 event stroke average since 2011 is still plenty strong for a player coming off a near-miss at Torrey Pines.
Group 3: Bryce Molder: Molder contended deep into the final round in Phoenix before finishing T-6, and his record at this event includes a T-12 finish or better in four of his last six starts.
Group 4: Alex Prugh: Prugh tends to play some of his best golf in California, with a T-10 finish last year at Pebble and a T-7 finish two weeks ago in difficult conditions at Torrey Pines.
Randall Mell
Group 1: Dustin Johnson: Pebble Beach usually brings out the best in Johnson. In his last eight starts at the AT&T, he has six finishes of T-7 or better, including two victories.
Group 2: Phil Mickelson: Showing some promising form starting the year, Mickelson should be motivated for a return to Pebble Beach after skipping it last year. He has won the AT&T four times.
Group 3: Freddie Jacobson: Showed some good form at Torrey Pines in last start (T-3 at Farmers Insurance), was T-7 just a few years back at Pebble Beach.
Group 4: D.A. Points: Going with a guy who has won before at Pebble Beach in this category. Points won there in 2011.
