The PGA Tour returns to the Coachella Valley. This time, there’s a new sponsor and name of the event that started as the Bob Hope Desert Classic.
The 61st rendition of the golf tournament is called The American Express.
The event started on Thursday and will be played at three courses through the first three rounds– La Quinta Country Club, the Stadium Course at PGA West and the Nicklaus Tournament Course at PGA West.
The format
The pro-am division ended after Saturday’s play for most players, but the three low gross and three low net amateurs will play Sunday, when the low 70 pros and ties from the first three days of the pro event continue on the TPC Stadium Course at PGA West.
