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 distinct golf courses at PGA West in La Quinta, in southern California’s Golden State. PGA West is a world-renowned golf and lifestyle resort nicknamed ‘The Western Home of Golf in America’, featuring multiple clubhouses and nine different courses despite La Quinta being a town of just around 40,000 residents. Throughout the tournament, play takes place 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 compete in this tournament. Matti Schmid is participating in his second tournament this season after missing the cut last weekend in Hawaii. Meanwhile, Stephan Jäger is making his 2026 season debut in California. MagentaTV will broadcast the tournament live from Thursday to Sunday starting at 17:30 local time each day.
