Jon Rahm, Patrick Cantlay highlight 10 players to watch at PGA Tour’s 2022 American Express

Check out some players to watch at the American Express.

Every player in a PGA Tour event is a good player and worth keeping an eye on during the week. But some players are more intriguing than others, especially this week at PGA West in La Quinta, California.

The field in the Coachella Desert is loaded with talent this week, from recent major champion Jon Rahm and last season’s Player of the Year, Patrick Cantlay, to up-and-coming stars on the PGA Tour like Scottie Scheffler and Will Zalatoris.

Check out these 10 players who could be at or near the top of the leaderboard during Sunday’s final round of the 2022 American Express.

Jon Rahm, reigning U.S. Open champion and World No. 1, will play in American Express

The six-time Tour winner leads a loaded field that includes numerous Ryder Cuppers.

Jon Rahm, the reigning U.S. Open champion and the No. 1 player in the world, will return to The American Express later this month.

Rahm won the 2018 American Express event but has not played in the tournament the last two years. He was scheduled to play in the 2021 tournament but withdrew just days before the event when he tweaked a muscle in a gym session.

As the No. 1 player in the Official World Golf Ranking, Rahm will be the first No. 1 to play in the event since Justin Rose was No. 1 when he played in the 2019 event. The tournament will be played January 19-23 at three courses La Quinta Country Club, and the Stadium and Nicklaus Tournament courses at PGA West.

Rahm joins a field that includes host and reigning PGA champion Phil Mickelson, defending champion Si Woo Kim, former British Open winner Francesco Molinari, 2021 PGA Tour rookie of the year Will Zalatoris, five-time Tour winner Rickie Fowler, and U.S. Ryder Cup members Tony Finau and Scott Scheffler.

The tournament has also announced that Abraham Ancer of Mexico, fifth in the event last year and second two years ago, has committed to the event.

Rahm won the 2018 tournament in a four-hole playoff with Andrew Landry. In 2021, Rahm experienced the highs and lows of the season. He held a six-shot lead after the third round of the Memorial tournament in Ohio only to be pulled from the field because of a positive COVID-19 test. Two weeks later, Rahm rolled home critical putts on the final two holes of the fourth round to win the U.S. Open on the South Course at Torrey Pines in San Diego, his first major championship.

A star at Arizona State, the same university attended by Mickelson, Rahm has six PGA Tour wins and seven DP World Tour wins.

Ancer’s first PGA Tour victory came last August in the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational. He is currently ranked 17th in the OWGR.

Players have until January 14 to commit to the $7.6 million event.

Fans, Phil and Finau: American Express announces early commitments

The American Express will feature concerts, fans and a loaded field.

LA QUINTA — PGA Tour events are always looking forward, but The American Express tournament can be forgiven if they are looking back two years.

As the 2022 event begins in less than six weeks, tournament officials are excited that it will again look like the 2020 tournament, with fans in the grandstands, concerts on the PGA West driving range and amateurs playing side-by-side with PGA Tour professionals.

During a news conference Thursday at PGA West, officials of both the tournament and sponsor American Express were excited that COVD-19 protocols that changed the face of the tournament last January will be gone for the 2022 event, to be held January 20-23.

[vertical-gallery id=778084752]

Among the pros playing for the $7.6 million purse – a $900,000 increase from last January — will be tournament host Phil Mickelson, who produced one of the biggest stories in golf in 2021 with a win at the PGA Championship at the age of 50. Si Woo Kim, the tournament’s defending champion, also will be in the field, along with 2021 PGA Tour winner and Ryder Cup player Tony Finau, who has played in the tournament the last two years. Ryder Cup teammate Scott Scheffler also has committed early to the event.

“We’ve got a lot of great things in store as we welcome back our traditional three-day pro-am along with spectators to enjoy the event,” tournament executive director Pat McCabe said. “With that, health and safety will be a top priority for all of us.”

Spectators will be required to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test to enter any of the golf courses used in the tournament.

Besides the return of galleries, the tournament also will see the participation of 156 amateurs playing the first three days beside the pros in a 54-hole pro-am. Officials thought the pro-am could be played in 2021 under county and state safety protocols, but they believed it was not a good situation to bring the 156 amateurs and their caddies to the desert in a pandemic.

It was the first time in the tournament’s 62-year history that amateurs did not play in the event with the tour pros.

[lawrence-related id=778183606,778085150]

La Quinta Country Club also was dropped from the 2021 tournament as officials decided to operate out of just the PGA West clubhouse while playing the Stadium and Nicklaus Tournament courses. La Quinta is back in the rotation this year alongside the two PGA West courses.

The tournament’s concert series also was a casualty of the pandemic last January, but the music will return after Friday and Saturday’s rounds next month. Pop/rock group Maroon 5 will perform after play Friday, with country star Brad Paisley playing on Saturday on the PGA West driving range.

Finau, joining the news conference by phone from Las Vegas, said he’s excited for a chance to again play in The America Express, where he finished fourth last year at the start of a strong year that saw him in contention in so many tournaments from January through December.

“Having guys like Maroon 5 there, concerts, I love music,” Finau said. “A tournament is a lot of things that go into a golf tournament, and what makes it special is kind of what happens during the week. To have concerts like that, to meet the great people in the pro-am, it has a field that’s different than most of the other events we have, so I get to meet people that I admire and maybe looked up to in music or the entertainment industry. I have those opportunities during this event. And then I love the golf courses we play.”

Maroon 5, Brad Paisley headline concert series at the American Express in January

Two monster acts are headed to the American Express.

One of country music’s most successful acts of the last two decades and a pop group from California that headlined the Super Bowl halftime show in 2019 will be the concert acts at The American Express PGA Tour event in La Quinta.

Maroon 5 will be the featured concert after play on Friday, January 21, while Brad Paisley will perform on Saturday, January 22. Both concerts will be on the driving range at PGA West in La Quinta, where two of the three courses used in the PGA Tour event are located.

Paisley has been a member of the Grand Ole Opry since 2001. His singing, songwriting, and showmanship have won him three Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, 14 Country Music Association (CMA) Awards, and 15 Academy of Country Music Awards, among many other accolades.

Paisley has written 21 of his 24 No. 1 hits and, in 2008, he became the first artist to achieve 10 consecutive Billboard Country Airplay No. 1 singles. The 2010 CMA Entertainer of the Year’s past works have amassed more than 3.9 billion on-demand streams.

Paisley has twice been a featured act at the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, in 2009 along with Kenny Chesney and Reba McIntyre, and again in 2012 with Jason Aldean and Miranda Lampert.

Maroon 5 stands out as one of the biggest musical acts of the 21st century. The band features a hybrid rock/R&B sound they introduced on their debut album, Songs About Jane in 2003. The Los Angeles band has achieved three Grammys, more than 80 million in album sales, 450 million singles worldwide, and earned gold and platinum certifications in more than 35 countries.

Released in the summer of 2021, Maroon 5’s current studio album, JORDI, features the band’s latest hit single “Beautiful Mistakes” featuring Megan Thee Stallion. JORDI also includes the band’s recent hits “Nobody’s Love” and “Memories,” which has surpassed 1 billion Spotify streams and amassed over 700 million YouTube views.

[vertical-gallery id=778084752]

Tickets for the days of the concerts are $125, which includes golf during the day and the concerts after play. American Express cardholders receive a 20% discount on all tickets. Tickets are available at theamexgolf.com. Proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test will be required to enter the tournament grounds.

The tournament had no concerts in 2021 because there were no fans allowed because of COVID-19 protocols. In 2020 the concerts featured rock legend Stevie Nicks and country artist Luke Bryan. Past acts to play at the tournament include Huey Lewis and the News, Goo Goo Dolls, Fitz and the Tantrums, Sammy Hagar, and Bad Company.

How substantial is Phil Mickelson’s influence in 2021? It transcends tours.

In the era of Tiger Woods, Mickelson never reached No. 1 .

PALM SPRINGS, California — The next time Phil Mickelson swings a golf club in competition should be at the 2022 American Express tournament in La Quinta, a tournament that he hosts and for which his foundation is the charitable arm.

When Mickelson does play in La Quinta in January in a tournament he has won twice, he will do so coming off of one of the most remarkable calendar years any golfer has played. He wasn’t the player of the year on either the PGA Tour or the PGA Tour Champions. He didn’t earn a spot on the Ryder Cup team. But he crafted storylines on both the regular and the senior tour that were the most captivating stories of the year.

That’s what has made Mickelson’s career so remarkable. In the era of Tiger Woods, Mickelson never reached No. 1 in the world ranking. He has six major titles, but other players have more through history. But like Arnold Palmer before him, whatever Mickelson does seems to be done with a flair that almost compels fans to pay attention.

The year that Mickelson just produced should pay some local benefits as well. No one can say for sure how many PGA Tour events Mickelson will play in 2022, but one of them will be The American Express. That surely will bring a few extra eyes to the La Quinta event, if only to see what Mickelson might conjure that week.

More: Seven majors in 12 months? Phil Mickelson’s historic win the top highlight of a busy year

We know that Mickelson’s four magical days at Kiawah Island produced history with a victory last May in the PGA Championship. It was a major championship that hardly anyone could have imagined, perhaps not even the confident Mickelson himself. Not only did Mickelson win his sixth major title eight years after his previous major win, but the PGA victory came just one month before Mickelson’s 51st birthday. It was his only win of the year, in fact his only top-10 finish of the year. But it is the win most golf fans will point to as the year’s most memorable moment.

But as a 50-year-old, Mickelson could also play on the Champions Tour. He played only one senior event between Jan. 1 and Oct. 1, focusing instead on the regular tour through the end of the majors. But once he set his sights on the senior tour, Mickelson was as dominant as you would expect him to be among the 50-and-older set.

[vertical-gallery id=778047768]

Mickelson a force on the PGA Tour Champions

He played two events in October and one this month, winning twice including the Charles Schwab Champions Cup event in Phoenix Sunday. A back-nine of 4-under 31 was enough to vault Lefty past a strong group of players including Jim Furyk. No, Mickelson hadn’t played enough to challenge for the season-long Charles Schwab Cup, but he was the tour’s best player when he did play.

Each of the last two years Mickelson has started the season with a bit of a question in his mind as to how much golf he would play on the two tours. In 2020, that question was answered a bit by COVID-19, with the tour taking three months off at one point and rescheduling so many other events, including the major championships. In the calendar year 2021, with a more traditional schedule, as the pandemic eased, Mickelson played 18 times since Jan. 1 (he has played one additional event since the 2021-2022 wraparound season started on the regular tour) and four times on the senior tour.

The question of splitting time will certainly have to be answered again for Mickelson as 2022 rolls around. He’ll play The American Express, and he’ll play in the major championships. There will be some World Golf Championships in all likelihood as well as a few regular events he wants to play. But will he play as many as 18 tournaments on the PGA Tour as he did this year? Will he limit himself to four senior events, or will the senior majors start to have an appeal as he continues to have success on the 50-and-over circuit?

One thing is for sure. Mickelson will bring all of those compelling storylines to the desert in January, where he will try to start another improbable year.

2021 American Express matchups, placings and group betting predictions

Feeling lucky this week? Check 2021 American Express matchups, placings and group betting predictions

The PGA Tour’s West Coast swing begins with this week’s American Express at PGA West in La Quinta, California. Below, we’ll look for the best value bets in the 2021 American Express betting odds, with tournament matchups, placings and other PGA Tour prop bet predictions.

The tournament is played over two courses: Nicklaus Tournament Course and the Stadium Course. All members of the field will play each course in their first two rounds; those who make the 36-hole cut will play the Stadium Course both Saturday and Sunday.

Odds provided by BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday at 6:50 p.m. ET.

Matchup bets

Paul Casey vs. Charles Howell III (-105)

Casey is favored at -135 in this head-to-head tournament matchup, despite he and Howell both being +5000 to win. The Englishman is No. 55 in the Golfweek/Sagarin world rankings, and Howell is 58th.

AMERICAN EXPRESS: Tee times, TV info | Field by the rankings

Howell makes the trip back to the mainland following a T-19 finish at the Sony Open in Hawaii, while Casey hasn’t played since the 2020 Masters. Howell also has more experience in this event and has gained an average of 1.02 strokes per round on the Stadium Course to just 0.56 for Casey.

Sam Burns (-118) vs. Brian Harman

Burns tied for sixth here last year with Harman finishing T-21. Burns was much better on the greens, but he also gained 2.66 strokes per round tee-to-green to rank ninth in the field among those who made the cut.

Placing bets

Top 5: Paul Casey (+900)

We took the value of Howell in the head-to-head matchup, but this is the first of our two bets on Casey. The three-time PGA Tour winner and 20-time international victor is seemingly being overlooked in an extremely top-heavy field. His previous PGA Tour wins have come against similar strengths of fields when he went back-to-back at the Valspar Championship in 2018 and 2019.

Top 10: Doc Redman (+800)

Redman returns to PGA West following a T-29 finish last year. He gained an impressive 1.44 strokes per round with the putter and will look to recapture that success on these Bermudagrass greens. He had three top 10s in 22 events last calendar year, but two of those were part of the 2020-21 season.

Top European: Paul Casey (+350)

We’re going back to Casey because the competition in this group is just too soft. Sepp Straka (+550) is the next-highest ranked golfer in the Golfweek rankings at No. 65. Francesco Molinari (+800) is a former major champion, but he played just seven events last year with five missed cuts, including the 2020 Masters.

Group bets

Group A: Patrick Cantlay (+280)

Cantlay is the pre-tournament betting favorite at low odds of just +1200. He and the rest of Group A are risky outright bets in fields like this and this early in the season. Play it safe with the group odds in a five-man pool for the top-ranked golfer in the field.

Group B: Abraham Ancer (+350)

Ancer finished alone in second last year while ranking second in the field in SG: Tee-to-Green at 3.32 per round. He’s consistently a top ball-striker and he excelled on these greens last year with 2.38 SG: Putting per round.
