Tee times for The American Express on the PGA Tour are set. Three DACH players start on three different courses.
For the second event of the PGA Tour’s The American Express, players 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’ with several clubhouses and nine courses, despite La Quinta having only about 40,000 residents. The tournament is 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, while Stephan Jäger makes his 2026 season debut in California. MagentaTV will broadcast the tournament live from Thursday to Sunday starting at 5:30 p.m. local time.
