The tee times for The American Express on the PGA Tour are set. Three DACH players start on three different courses.
For 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 in southern California, the “Golden State.” PGA West is a world-renowned golf and lifestyle resort known as “The Western Home of Golf in America,” hosting multiple 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 event. Matti Schmid is starting his second tournament this season after missing the cut last weekend in Hawaii. 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.
