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 golf courses at PGA West in La Quinta, located in Southern California’s Golden State. PGA West is a world-renowned golf and lifestyle resort known as ‘The Western Home of Golf in America’, featuring various clubhouses and nine golf courses, despite La Quinta having just about 40,000 residents. The tournament will be played across the Pete Dye Stadium Course, La Quinta Country Club, and the Nicklaus Tournament Course.
Besides last year’s defending champion from Austria, Sepp Straka, two German players will also participate in this tournament. Matti Schmid is playing his second tournament of the season after missing the cut last weekend in Hawaii. Stephan Jäger will be making his 2026 season debut in California. MagentaTV will provide live coverage of the tournament Thursday through Sunday starting at 5:30 pm.
