The tee times for The American Express on the PGA Tour are set. Three DACH players will start on three different golf courses.
For the second tournament of the PGA Tour, 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-renowned golf and lifestyle resort nicknamed ‘The Western Home of Golf in America’, featuring various clubhouses and nine golf courses, despite La Quinta’s population of only about 40,000. The tournament rounds will be played on the Pete Dye Stadium Course, the La Quinta Country Club, and the Nicklaus Tournament Course.
Apart from last year’s defending champion from Austria, Sepp Straka, two German players are also competing in this tournament. Matti Schmid is participating in his second tournament this 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 at 5:30 PM local time.
