The 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 PGA Tour, The American Express, players will tee off on Thursday across three different 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 different courses despite La Quinta having only around 40,000 inhabitants. During the tournament, play takes place on the Pete Dye Stadium Course, the La Quinta Country Club, and the Nicklaus Tournament Course.
Besides last year’s defending champion from Austria, Sepp Straka, two German players are competing in this tournament. Matti Schmid is starting his second tournament of the season after missing the cut last weekend in Hawaii. Stephan Jäger, on the other hand, will make his 2026 season debut in California. MagentaTV will broadcast the tournament live from Thursday to Sunday starting at 17:30 CET.
