Tag: 2024 American Express

One golf tournament had six of the easiest holes on the PGA Tour this year. Which one?

It can’t be a surprise that some of the tournament holes showed up among the easiest on the Tour

If a golfer played every event in the PGA Tour’s regular season, starting with The Sentry in Hawaii in January and ending with the Tour Championship in Atlanta In August, he would have played 828 different holes. Some of those holes would have been ridiculously tough, and others would have been mouth-wateringly easy.

Not surprisingly, some of those easy holes are in The American Express tournament in La Quinta, a tournament noted for its low scoring on all three of its courses. While some fans lament the low scoring at The American Express, saying the pros should be challenged more, the pros on the PGA Tour love coming to the desert to get their games in shape on smooth greens and wide fairways that promote low scoring.

Because of the traditional low scoring in the desert — 2024 winning Nick Dunlap shot 29-under par for 72 holes with a 12-under 60 in his third round — it can’t be a surprise that some of the tournament holes showed up among the easiest on the Tour. In fact, six holes in The American Express were among the 25 holes with the lowest scoring averages in 2024.

No. 3, 11th hole, Nicklaus Tournament Course, PGA West

This par-5 measures just 528 yards, and if a player hits the fairway and avoids large mounds to the left of the landing area, it’s a pretty simple shot into the green. The scoring average on the hole was 4.200, or more than three-quarters of a shot under par. Of all the short par-5s in The American Express, this one is the easiest for the pros.

No. 5, 11th hole, La Quinta Country Club

When people think of scoreable par-5s at La Quinta Country Club, they tend to think of the back-to-back fifth and sixth holes. In reality, this very straight 543-yard hole was the easiest on the course in 2024. Four bunkers surround the green, but the front of the green is open and inviting, with a 4.219 scoring average for 2024.

No. 12, sixth hole, La Quinta Country Club

The front nine at La Quinta is where players tend to score the lowest on the course, and this 527-yard par-5 is part of the reason. Not much longer than some par-4s on the PGA Tour, this hole is again typical of the course, with bunkers ringing the green. But most pros will be hitting mid-irons into the generous green, accounting for a 4.297 scoring average for the hole this year.

No. 14, 13th hole, La Quinta Country Club

This 547-yard par-5 has a few more teeth than some of the other par-5s on the course, with even a bit of a dogleg to the right. But the second shot, played into the backdrop of the Santa Rosa Mountains, is still wide open for the pros. Scoring average for the 2024 American Express was 4.333.

No. 21, seventh hole, Nicklaus Tournament Course, PGA West

Another par-5 under 530 yards, this hole has an interesting green complex with a putting surface that angles away from the player from front right to back left and with deep grassy areas protecting the back of the green. But the pros still handled the hole well with a 4.374 scoring average.

No. 25, fifth hole, La Quinta Country Club

The first of the back-to-back par-5s on the front nine at La Quinta, this hole’s 4.381 scoring average for 2024 is a bit higher than the sixth hole, but by less than two-tenths of a stroke. The fairway turns to the right, but at just 516 yards, it’s easy to see how pros can play the hole as a long-4 and be disappointed with a 5.

Not to be outdone, the Pete Dye Stadium Course at PGA West also had a relatively easy hole, with its par-5 eighth hole coming in 26th on the list at 4.386. The easiest hole on the PGA Tour in 2024 was the par-5 fifth hole at the Plantation Course at Kapalua, the home of The Sentry season-opening event. That hole played to a 4.106 scoring average. One hundred and thirty-three par-4s on the Tour this year played to a higher scoring average.

That doesn’t mean there aren’t tough holes in The American Express rotation as well. The 233-yard par-3 sixth hole at the Stadium Course at PGA West actually made the top 50 toughest holes on Tour with a 3.251 scoring average. Holes like the par-3 17th at the Nicklaus Tournament Course and the par-4 second at La Quinta Country Club played over their par as well.

But if anyone asks why the scoring is so low at The American Express, having six of the tournament’s par-5s among the lowest-scoring holes on the PGA Tour is certainly a good place to start.

Did Nick Dunlap make the right move in turning pro? The answer has become pretty clear

He is now the first player in PGA Tour history to win in the same calendar year as an amateur and a pro.

It was a logical question at the time, one that a lot of people were asking.

Should Nick Dunlap, fresh off of winning The American Express tournament last January to become the first amateur in 33 years to win a PGA Tour event, remain an amateur?

It was too late to take the money for The American Express, so maybe Dunlap should return to the University of Alabama for more seasoning as a top college golfer. Maybe he should try to defend his U.S. Amateur title, too.

Dunlap and his team decided that it was best to turn pro, take advantage of the playing opportunities in majors and PGA Tour signature events and get his seasoning under fire. The results were not overwhelming at first, so the question was asked again and again. Should Nick Dunlap have stayed an amateur?

Sunday at the Barracuda Championship in Truckee, Dunlap had the final say in the debate. A huge Sunday under the modified Stableford scoring format pushed Dunlap to his second PGA Tour victory. He is now the first player in PGA Tour history to win in the same calendar year as an amateur and as a professional.

It is an astounding feat for Dunlap, still just 20, to have two PGA Tour victories so young. And it is a major boost for The American Express, who can now market their defending champion as more than just a one-hit wonder.

Sure, the critics might howl that the Barracuda Championship is an alternate event from the British Open, and that the best players in the world weren’t in Truckee to face Dunlap. But PGA Tour names such as Charley Hoffman, Patrick Rodgers and Taylor Pendrith were all in the top 10 of the Barracuda, and names such as Martin Laird, Michael Kim and J.J. Spaun were further down the leaderboard. Names like Brandt Snedeker, Bill Haas and Aaron Baddeley missed the cut.

Winning the money

The victory also comes with less prize money than many PGA Tour events, but remember, Dunlap won no money at The American Express. The $720,000 first-place check at the Barracuda thus becomes the largest check of his career, putting him at $2 million for the year. And because the Barracuda is a dual-sanctioned event with the DP World Tour, Dunlap is now exempt on that tour through 2026, just as he is on the PGA Tour.

Beyond all of that, imagine the golfers who would jump off a building to have a PGA Tour win, any PGA Tour win, alternate event or not. And remember, when Dunlap won The American Express, names such as Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay were in the field.

Dunlap becomes the fifth golfer with multiple wins on the PGA Tour this year, joining Rory McIlroy, Scheffler, Schauffele and Robert MacIntyre.

Oh, and there is a great chance that Dunlap just played his way into the FedEx Cup playoffs, a pretty strong feat for a rookie. He’s 63rd in the standings now, and only the top 70 advance to the playoffs.

Anyone paying attention could see the results starting to come together for Dunlap. An 11th-place finish at The Memorial the week before the U.S. Open was a sign Dunlap’s game was gaining strength after a spring of missed cuts and finishes well out of the top 50. Then came a tie for 10th at the Rocket Mortgage event. Now comes his second victory, which some pros will say is more important than the first win, since it verifies a player and his game as more than a fluke.

After the Barracuda title, Dunlap credited a change in coaching to Josh Gregory and a change in his approach to the tour for better results.

“I’m traveling with a fishing pole now, so I’ve been trying to go fishing every evening and it’s just that little reset that helps me not focus on golf all day long,” Dunlap said. “I can kind of reset, have some fun, come back out with a new mindset the next day.”

Sunday at the Barracuda Championship, Dunlap reeled in his second big catch of the year. Maybe fans will see him reeling in more and more big fish, maybe even a repeat at The American Express in January.

Nick Dunlap, very much in Rocket Mortgage contention, admits PGA Tour life is ‘a little lonely’

Despite a great showing in Detroit, the change has been difficult, Dunlap said.

Nick Dunlap is now in his 15th event as a professional golfer since shocking the world by winning The American Express in La Quinta as an amateur last January. And while he’s more comfortable now with the professional life, Dunlap admits the pro game can be frustrating.

“Honestly, the most frustrating thing is that I’ve had to realize that I can’t attack pins with sand wedges sometimes,” Dunlap said. “I think (recent tournaments were) pretty eye-opening for me in realizing that sometimes you’re not going to hit the green, even if you are on the fairway.

“It’s taken me a little while to realize how to play some of these golf courses,” Dunlap added. “Even par is a great score. Most of the time on the weekends it gets even harder.”

Dunlap, still just 20, has faced plenty of questions since deciding to turn pro after winning The American Express in La Quinta, making him the first amateur to win on the PGA Tour in 33 years. Should he have stayed at the University of Alabama? Was his game ready for the PGA Tour, even though he had just beaten a field that included world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and PGA Championship winner Xander Schauffele?

The questions have grown louder as Dunlap’s year has continued. While he’s surpassed $1 million in earnings in his 14 starts — he won no money at The American Express — he has missed five cuts and has been in the top 15 in an event just twice. He missed the cut in all three major championships he’s played this year, and he was 66th in the most recent event he played, the Travelers Championship. He was a strong 12th the week before the U.S. Open at The Memorial.

This week at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit, however, Dunlap is in contention at the midway point, building off an opening-round 67. He’s 8 under through 36 holes, just five strokes behind leader Akshay Bhatia.

For Dunlap, it is all part of a learning process.

“I always kind of thought coming out here that I had a lot to learn,” Dunlap said. “I thought that my game was good enough. But these guys are so good consistently week in and week out. I knew I needed to do a couple things to be able to maintain my game, compete week in and week out. I’m three, four months into it. Kind of starting to get a grasp on it.”

One reason for Dunlap to turn pro was that his The American Express win makes him exemption for PGA Tour events through 2026, so he doesn’t have to worry about piecing together a schedule like a regular rookie. In addition, Dunlap was exempt in 2024 for all eight of the PGA Tour’s signature events, most of which do not have a cut and therefore provide a guaranteed paycheck for a player.

Lots of learning

But the change has been difficult, Dunlap said, with thoughts of his University of Alabama teammates during college golf season.

Despite being comfortable with the decision to turn pro after The American Express win, a one-shot victory over Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Dunlap said he still kept an eye on his Alabama teammates and their trip through the NCAA championships, a trip that ended well short of an NCAA title.

“I still in a way feel bad. I feel like I left them hanging,” Dunlap said. “I would have loved to be with them at regionals, NCAAs the week after.”

What Dunlap has found, though, is new supporters on the PGA Tour.

“Honestly, a lot of the guys out here have been very, very nice to me, always offering up support and help in anything they do,” Dunlap said. “It was a little bit of an odd situation, but I’m 20, and there’s not a whole lot of my peers out here currently.

“It can be a little lonely at times. Feel like you’re on an island a little bit,” he added. “A lot of the guys have been very gracious and reaching out, making sure that I don’t feel that way.”

Dunlap also recently had plenty of television time, not for his current play but for The American Express win. American Express is a major partner of the United States Golf Association and used some of its commercial time during the recent U.S. Open to replay highlights of Dunlap’s win in La Quinta.

For now, Dunlap is 93rd on the FedEx Cup playoffs points list, well short of the 70th-place finish he’ll need at the end of the regular season to make the FedEx St. Jude Classic, the first of the three playoff tournaments. That means Dunlap has just five events left on the regular schedule to reach the playoffs, starting with this week’s Rocket Mortgage.

Should amateur golfers collect the purse if they win? PGA Tour rookie Nick Dunlap’s answer might surprise you

Dunlap must be in favor of a system that would have allowed him to collect the massive payday, right?

PINEHURST, N.C. — At the end of the annual USGA press conference before the U.S. Open with CEO Mike Whan, president Fred Perpall and chief championships officer John Bodenhamer, a reporter asked whether amateurs should now be paid their share of any winnings at the organization’s events.

Noting the changes to college athletics like NIL (name, image, likeness), Whan said the USGA has tried to stay on the front edge of the debate, even though it’s one that seems to be constantly changing.

“We’ve tried to evolve NIL and amateur status, as the game has, we as the USGA kind of created an NIL and amateur status angle before the NCAA did, so golf was kind of ahead of that time,” Whan said in advance of this week’s tournament at Pinehurst No. 2. “I’m not sure. You may be right. We may be heading to that path sooner rather than later.”

Interestingly enough, the next group press conference scheduled for Wednesday was Nick Dunlap, the last amateur to win a PGA Tour event when he did so at the American Express in January.

The 20-year-old Dunlap, then a sophomore at the University of Alabama, did not receive a dime after winning the title as amateur players are not allowed to collect any prize money, and there is no avenue for him to retroactively declare himself a pro to collect the $1,512,000 first-place check.

Certainly, Dunlap must be in favor of a system that would have allowed him to collect the massive payday, right?

His answer might surprise you.

“I honestly don’t think so,” Dunlap said on Wednesday. “I think there should be maybe some kind of end of the week to help out with some of the expenses maybe. Weeks like this are expensive, especially at Augusta.

“It does kind of suck that you can’t make any money, so you’re kind of out of whether it’s five, 10, 15, 20 grand, whatever it is. Some kind of help at the end of the week would be nice.”

Dunlap became the first amateur to win a PGA Tour event since Phil Mickelson in 1991 by winning at PGA West Stadium Course, setting a tournament record by finishing 29 under.

“I think teeing it up with an ‘A’ next to your name, you know you’re not going to be paid, which is a little bit unfortunate,” Dunlap said. “I wish we could, now saying that after AmEx. Like I said, you know you can’t get paid. Like I said, end of the week would be nice to get something back.”

While Dunlap missed out on a big check in January, he’s done just fine for himself after turning pro soon after the victory. With his T-12 at the Memorial last weekend, Dunlap now has amassed over $1 million for the season. He also sits 93rd in FedEx Cup points, meaning he’s within striking distance for the PGA Tour ‘s playoffs later this year. The top 70 players will qualify for the FedEx St. Jude Championship. And he’s had success at Pinehurst before, winning the North and South Amateur on the famed course last July just before he captured the U.S. Amateur.

So even without the cushy check he could have collected in the Coachella Valley, life as Nick Dunlap is pretty good these days.

“It was really, really cool for me to see everything that I kind of worked for come true. Playing out on the PGA Tour, making that putt at AmEx, it’s kind of what I always dreamed of as a kid. Like every putt was to win something. For me to have that putt was really cool,” he said. “I always kind of thought coming out here that I would have to learn a lot. I thought that my good was good enough. But these guys are so good consistently week in and week out. I knew I needed to do a couple things to be able to maintain my game, compete week in and week out.

“I’m three, four months into it. Kind of starting to get a grasp on it.”

Nick Dunlap makes it official, announces he’ll accept PGA Tour membership, starting at Pebble Beach

The first amateur to win on the PGA Tour since 1991 has decided to take his game to the next level full-time.

The first amateur to win on the PGA Tour since Phil Mickelson in 1991 has decided to take his game to the next level full-time.

Nick Dunlap, who won the American Express by holing a putt on the 72nd hole, announced on Thursday that he’s officially becoming a member of the PGA Tour.

The University of Alabama star is exempt on the Tour through the 2026 season, and exempt into the remaining seven signature events this season, several of which are limited-field, no-cut events with purses of at least $20 million.

“If you had told me that I had the opportunity to live out my dream as a 20-year-old, it’s pretty surreal. But it’s also scary. There’s a lot of changes and (Alabama) coach (Jay) Seawell has been gracious enough and I’m gonna continue to live here and hang out with the guys and, and at least live out some of my college life the rest of this year.

“It’s an incredible opportunity and you know, very grateful for it.”

Dunlap, who dropped out of the field at this week’s Farmers Insurance Open after receiving a sponsor exemption, said he’ll start his career at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, which runs from Feb. 1-4.

Nick Dunlap withdraws from Farmers Insurance Open a day after winning PGA Tour event as an amateur

Less than 24 hours after winning a PGA Tour event, Dunlap needs a breather.

Less than 24 hours after winning the American Express, Nick Dunlap needs a breather.

It was a whirlwind 72 holes in La Quinta, California, for the 20-year-old sophomore in his second season of college golf at Alabama. It was a most intense final round as he made two clutch pars on the final two holes to win by a shot, beating a field of professionals to become the first amateur in 33 years to win on the PGA Tour.

Not only did he win, but he did so in record fashion, posting a 29-under total, the lowest since the event was reduced from a 90-hole tournament to 72.

Dunlap was eligible for the $1.5 million prize due to his amateur status but golf fans won’t soon forget the historical achievement.

On Monday, Dunlap, through the PGA Tour communications office, announced that he will not compete in this week’s Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego.

He was in the field previously as a sponsor exemption. His AmEx win removed that status from him but as was then in the field as a PGA Tour winner, moving Harrison Endycott in as a sponsor exemption.

A further unrelated sequence of events happened when Justin Thomas withdrew. That got Endycott in the field and opened up a sponsor exemption for Hayden Springer.

Nonetheless, Dunlap is stepping back for the week. He is still pondering whether to accept the PGA Tour card and turn pro or stay in school and try to help Alabama win an NCAA title.

“I’ve always wanted to win a ring with Alabama,” he said Sunday. “But no, everything kind of moving forward, and as far as me turning professional, that’s something that it doesn’t just affect me, it affects a lot of people, and that being my teammates and my coach, you know, they, obviously, probably didn’t think that I would ever consider turning pro after this week.”

From No. 4129 to 68: Nick Dunlap makes gigantic jump in Official World Golf Ranking

So what can a PGA Tour win do for your world ranking? A lot, as it turns out.

Nick Dunlap was ranked 4,121st in the Official World Golf Ranking at the end of 2023.

He slipped to 4,129 last week before pulling off the seemingly impossible, winning the American Express as an amateur, the first am to do that in 33 years.

So what can a PGA Tour win do to your world ranking?

Dunlap, winner of a PGA Tour event as a 20-year-old college kid, rocketed to No. 68 in the latest OWGR, which was updated Sunday night.

He’s now ranked ahead of Keith Mitchell (70), Billy Horschel (71), Erik van Rooyen (84), Taylor Pendrith (94) and Sam Ryder (108), just to name a few.

It’s reportedly the biggest jump in the history of the OWGR, which debuted in 1986.

Dunlap is just the eighth amateur to win a PGA Tour event. He’s also the 12th to win as a sponsor invitation. 

The next highest-ranked amateur in the OWGR, you ask? That’d be Standard senior Michael Thorbjornsen at No. 463.

As far as the most recent World Amateur Golf Ranking, which was Jan. 17, 2024, Dunlap is No. 3 behind Gordon Sargent and Christo Lamprecht.

An amateur won a PGA Tour event; what happens with FedEx Cup points, exemptions, money, etc.?

Dunlap’s win has fans asking so many questions. We have answers.

An amateur won on the PGA Tour for the first time in 33 years on Sunday.

In other words, Scottie Scheffler and Jon Rahm, the last two Masters champions, had not yet been born when Phil Mickelson won the 1991 Northern Telecom Open in Tucson, Arizona, as a 20-year-old Arizona State student.

Nick Dunlap, a 20-year-old Alabama sophomore and the defending U.S. Amateur champion, made a putt of nearly 6 feet to win the American Express by one shot over Christiaan Bezuidenhout at the Pete Dye Stadium Course in La Quinta, California. Dunlap shot 60-70 on the weekend and won with a 29-under-par 259.

It’s the 72-hole tournament record since the event went from 90 holes to 72 holes in 2012.

Here are questions and answers in the aftermath of Dunlap’s victory:

To turn pro or not to turn pro. That is the question for Nick Dunlap (who addressed interest in LIV too)

The American Express champion Nick Dunlap has a big decision to make: to turn pro or not to turn pro.

The American Express champion Nick Dunlap has a big decision to make – to turn pro or not to turn pro.

The first amateur to win on the PGA Tour since Phil Mickelson in 1991 is exempt on the PGA Tour through the 2026 season, so technically there’s no rush. But if he turns pro, he’s also exempt into the remaining seven signature events this season, several of which are limited field, no-cut events with purses of at least $20 million (as well as The Sentry in 2025). It’s a no-brainer for the Alabama sophomore, right?

But when asked during his winner’s press conference if he would be accepting PGA Tour membership, Dunlap hesitated and the more he spoke about it the more conflicted he seemed.

“I have no idea,” he said. “I really don’t.”

Dunlap’s life has changed no matter what he decides and he’s gained admission to a new world.

“Starting the week, if you would have said, hey, in five days you’re going to have a PGA Tour card or an opportunity for two years, I would have looked at you sideways,” Dunlap said.

I don’t think he was being modest. And his next statement was telling. He noted that his decision has huge ramifications not just for him.

“It affects a lot of people, (Alabama) coach (Jay Seawell) back there and my teammates, and it’s a conversation I need to have with a lot of people before I make that decision,” he said.

Later, he would express a desire to be ranked No. 1 in the World Amateur Golf Rankings and to win a ring with his Alabama teammates. Having already won the U.S. Junior Amateur and U.S. Amateur in 2023, he’s in Rose Zhang territory where there’s really nothing more for him to achieve in the amateur game. Plus, Dunlap also has dreamed of winning on the Tour for most of his life.

“As a kid, you kind of whack it around all over the putting green and every putt’s for a chance to win, whether that’s a PGA Tour event, the Masters, the U.S. Open. And to have that putt, I took a little bit longer than I normally might, and just take in the moment and nothing’s for granted. I may not ever have that chance again, and I just want to embrace it,” he said. “You know, like I said, it may not ever happen again.”

There is, of course, a wild card to be considered in all of this. There’s no doubt that LIV Golf will circle with a lucrative offer that will make him think twice about whether he wants to try to win a ring or have a bank account with Saudi-funded generational wealth.

During a virtual press conference I asked Dunlap if he or his representatives have been contacted by LIV, and if so, does he have any interest in competing in the league?

“As of right now I have no idea, I really don’t,” he said.

He shared that he is represented by GSE and agent Kevin Canning, who Dunlap said worked a deal for Jason Kokrak to go to LIV. GSE also represents Bryson DeChambeau and numerous of their clientele jumped to LIV for big bucks.

“But as far as me, I’ve always grown up dreaming of playing on the PGA Tour, and making a putt just like a little bit ago, to win a PGA Tour event. That was always my dream, to do that. I’ve always tried to chase something that nobody else has done. That’s why I always put in the work that I do, I want to do something special, and something memorable, not only for me, but maybe to leave something behind for somebody else to try to follow and gauge at,” Dunlap explained. “For me, that’s Tiger, right. Like I probably won’t ever even be close to some of the records he set, but I always try to set myself, you know, I’m trying to chase him. I know that’s an extremely high bar, and I don’t know if that comes off really cocky or not, but for me that’s something, I consider him the greatest ever, and for me to try to chase that, and even to be in somewhat of a conversation with him is, like I had said, it’s a dream come true, and it’s why I do what I do.”

Not that I expected him to come out and proclaim he had a contract back in his hotel room that his lawyer was reviewing, but that sounds like a pretty hard no.

There was one more telling comment that may indicate whether he’s planning to stay in college as Phil Mickelson did after he won as an amateur in 1991.

“You got any homework to do tonight?” he was asked.

“Yes,” he said. “Probably won’t do it though.”

Spoken like a college kid with pro aspirations. Apparently, Alabama’s transfer portal may still be open.

2024 The American Express prize money payouts for each PGA Tour player (but not winner Nick Dunlap)

It pays to play well on the PGA Tour (or to finish second when the winner is an amateur).

It pays to play well on the PGA Tour. Just don’t ask this week’s winner, Nick Dunlap.

The Alabama sophomore won the 2024 The American Express at the Pete Dye Stadium Course at PGA West in La Quinta, California, at 29 under after a 2-under 70 on Sunday. As an amateur, Dunlap isn’t able to earn money off his win, which would have been a whopping $1.5 million. Instead, that money goes to runner-up Christiaan Bezuidenhout, who made a birdie at the last to finish alone at 28 under. Kevin Yu, Xander Schauffele and Justin Thomas finished T-3 at 27 under and each will take home $635,600.

With $8.4 million up for grabs, check out how much money each PGA Tour player earned this week at the 2024 The American Express.
