The tee times for The American Express on the PGA Tour are set. Three DACH players start on three different golf courses.
At the second tournament of the PGA Tour The American Express, players will start on Thursday across three different golf courses at PGA West in La Quinta, Southern California’s ‘Golden State’. PGA West is a world-renowned golf and lifestyle resort, nicknamed ‘The Western Home of Golf in America’, offering multiple clubhouses and a total of nine golf courses, even though La Quinta has a population of only around 40,000 inhabitants. During the tournament, play will take place on the Pete Dye Stadium Course, the La Quinta Country Club, and the 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 last weekend in Hawaii. Stephan Jäger makes his 2026 season debut in California. MagentaTV will provide live coverage of the tournament from Thursday to Sunday starting at 5:30 pm local time.
