Where is the American Express 2025?
The American Express holds a unique distinction on the PGA Tour: It’s the only event that is played on three golf courses.
The tournament is played on the Pete Dye Stadium Course at PGA West, the Jack Nicklaus Tournament Course at PGA West and La Quinta Country Club. Golfers play one round at each of the three for the first three rounds, then after the 54-hole cut the final round is on the Stadium Course.
