PGA Tour Tee Times: Straka, Schmid and Jäger at The American Express 2026

The tee times for The American Express PGA Tour event are set. Three DACH players will start on three different courses.

At the second tournament of the PGA Tour at The American Express, players will tee off on Thursday across three different golf courses at PGA West in La Quinta, located in the southern part of the ‘Golden State’ California. PGA West is a world-renowned golf and lifestyle resort nicknamed ‘The Western Home of Golf in America’, featuring multiple clubhouses and a total of nine different golf courses, despite La Quinta having only about 40,000 inhabitants. During the tournament, play will take place on the Pete Dye Stadium Course, the La Quinta Country Club, and the Nicklaus Tournament Course.

Alongside last year’s defending champion from Austria Sepp Straka, two German players will also compete in this tournament. Matti Schmid embarks on 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.
