The tee times for The American Express on the PGA Tour are set. Three DACH players start on three different courses.
At the second tournament of the PGA Tour at The American Express, 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-famous golf and lifestyle resort nicknamed ‘The Western Home of Golf in America,’ featuring various clubhouses and nine golf courses, despite La Quinta having only around 40,000 residents. The tournament will be played 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 are competing in this tournament. Matti Schmid is starting his second tournament this season after missing the cut in Hawaii last weekend. Stephan Jäger makes his 2026 season debut in California. MagentaTV will broadcast the tournament live from Thursday to Sunday starting at 5:30 pm local time.
