The tee times for The American Express on the PGA Tour are set. Three DACH players start on three different golf courses.
For 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, 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 several clubhouses and nine distinct golf courses, despite La Quinta’s small population of about 40,000. The tournament rounds are played on the Pete Dye Stadium Course, the La Quinta Country Club, and the Nicklaus Tournament Course.
Apart from last year’s defending champion from Austria, Sepp Straka, two German players are also participating in this tournament. Matti Schmid is competing in his second event 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.
