The tee times for The American Express on the PGA Tour are set. Three DACH players will start on three different golf courses.
In the second tournament of the PGA Tour, The American Express, players will start 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 various clubhouses and a total of nine golf courses, despite La Quinta having only around 40,000 inhabitants. The tournament will be played across the Pete Dye Stadium Course, La Quinta Country Club, and Nicklaus Tournament Course.
Besides last year’s defending champion from Austria, Sepp Straka, two German players are competing in this tournament. Matti Schmid is starting his second tournament of the season after missing the cut last weekend in Hawaii. Stephan Jäger is making his 2026 season debut in California. MagentaTV will broadcast the tournament live from Thursday to Sunday starting at 17:30 CET each day.
