The tee times for The American Express PGA Tour event are set. Three DACH players will start on three different courses.
At the second event of The American Express on the PGA Tour, players will tee off on Thursday across three different courses at PGA West in La Quinta, southern California. PGA West is a world-renowned golf and lifestyle resort known as ‘The Western Home of Golf in America’, offering multiple clubhouses and nine courses despite La Quinta’s population of about 40,000. The tournament will be played on 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 will also compete. Matti Schmid is starting his second tournament of the season after missing the cut last weekend in Hawaii. Stephan Jäger makes his 2026 season debut in California. MagentaTV will broadcast the tournament live each day from Thursday to Sunday starting at 5:30 PM.
