Tee times for The American Express on the PGA Tour are set. Three DACH players tee off on three different courses.
At the second tournament of The American Express on the PGA Tour, players will start on Thursday at three different golf courses of 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 multiple clubhouses and nine different golf courses, despite La Quinta having only around 40,000 residents. The tournament courses include the Pete Dye Stadium Course, the La Quinta Country Club, and the Nicklaus Tournament Course.
Apart from last year’s champion from Austria, Sepp Straka, two German players are participating in this tournament. Matti Schmid is starting his second tournament 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 17:30.
