The tee times for The American Express on the PGA Tour are set. Three DACH players start on three different courses.
At the second tournament of the PGA Tour during The American Express, players will tee off on Thursday across three different golf courses at PGA West in La Quinta, located in Southern California’s ‘Golden State’. PGA West is a globally 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 around 40,000 inhabitants. The tournament will be played 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 participate in this tournament. Matti Schmid is starting his second tournament of the season after missing the cut last weekend in Hawaii. Stephan Jäger, meanwhile, is making his 2026 season debut in California. MagentaTV will broadcast the tournament live from Thursday to Sunday, starting at 5:30 PM local time.
