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 tee off on Thursday across three different golf courses at PGA West in La Quinta, southern California, also known as the Golden State. PGA West is a world-renowned golf and lifestyle resort nicknamed ‘The Western Home of Golf in America,’ featuring multiple clubhouses and nine golf courses, despite La Quinta having only around 40,000 inhabitants. Throughout the tournament, play will take place on the Pete Dye Stadium Course, the La Quinta Country Club, and the Nicklaus Tournament Course.
Besides last year’s title defender from Austria, Sepp Straka, two German players are participating in this tournament. Matti Schmid is starting 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 starting at 5:30 PM.
