The tee times for The American Express on the PGA Tour are set. Three DACH players start on three different golf courses.
At the second tournament of the PGA Tour The American Express, players will tee off 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 different courses, despite La Quinta having only around 40,000 inhabitants. The tournament will be played on the Pete Dye Stadium Course, 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 competing in this tournament. Matti Schmid is competing in his second tournament this season, having missed 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 5:30 pm local time.
