The tee times for The American Express on the PGA Tour are set, with three DACH players starting on three different courses.
At the second event of The American Express PGA Tour, players will tee off on Thursday across three different golf courses at PGA West in La Quinta, southern California, 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 courses, despite La Quinta having only about 40,000 residents. The tournament will be played across the Pete Dye Stadium Course, La Quinta Country Club, and the Nicklaus Tournament Course.
Alongside last year’s defending champion from Austria, Sepp Straka, two German players are competing in this tournament. Matti Schmid is starting his second event of the 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 17:30 local time.
