The tee times for The American Express on the PGA Tour are set. The three DACH players start on three different golf courses.
At the second tournament of the PGA Tour’s The American Express, players will tee off on Thursday across three different courses at PGA West in La Quinta, southern California, known as the ‘Golden State.’ PGA West is a world-famous golf and lifestyle resort nicknamed ‘The Western Home of Golf in America,’ featuring multiple clubhouses and nine courses, despite La Quinta’s population of around 40,000. The tournament will be played on the Pete Dye Stadium Course, La Quinta Country Club, and the Nicklaus Tournament Course.
Alongside last year’s defending champion from Austria, Sepp Straka, two German players are competing in this event. Matti Schmid is starting his second tournament of the season after missing the cut last weekend in Hawaii. Stephan Jäger makes his 2026 season debut in California. MagentaTV will broadcast the tournament live from Thursday to Sunday starting at 5:30 pm local time.
