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 The American Express, players will tee off on Thursday across three different golf courses at PGA West in La Quinta in Southern California’s “Golden State.” PGA West is a world-renowned golf and lifestyle resort, nicknamed “The Western Home of Golf in America,” featuring various clubhouses and a total of nine different golf courses, despite La Quinta having only around 40,000 inhabitants. The tournament will be played on the Pete Dye Stadium Course, the La Quinta Country Club, and the Nicklaus Tournament Course.
Besides last year’s defending champion from Austria Sepp Straka, two German players compete in this tournament. Matti Schmid is starting his second tournament this season after missing the cut in Hawaii last weekend. Stephan Jäger is making his 2026 season debut in California. MagentaTV broadcasts the tournament live from Thursday to Sunday starting at 5:30 p.m.
