The tee times for The American Express on the PGA Tour are set. Three DACH players will start on three different 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’s “Golden State.” PGA West is a world-renowned golf and lifestyle resort nicknamed “The Western Home of Golf in America,” featuring various clubhouses and a total of nine different golf courses, even though La Quinta has only around 40,000 inhabitants. During the tournament, players will compete at the Pete Dye Stadium Course, La Quinta Country Club, and Nicklaus Tournament Course.
Alongside last year’s defending champion from Austria, Sepp Straka, two German players are competing in this tournament. Matti Schmid is playing his second tournament this season after missing the cut last weekend in Hawaii. Stephan Jäger will make his 2026 season debut in California. MagentaTV will broadcast the tournament live from Thursday to Sunday, starting at 5:30 pm local time.
