The PGA Tour has landed in Palm Springs for the annual American Express. It’s featuring a star-studded field and a $9.2 million purse, with $1.656 million to the champion.

Scottie Scheffler is making his PGA Tour season debut this week. He’s joined by four other players currently inside the top 10 in the World Ranking: Russell Henley (5), Robert MacIntyre (6), Ben Griffin (8) and Justin Rose (10). To no surprise, Scheffler started strong—he shared the 36-hole lead with Blades Brown.

Before a 54-hole cut, competitors rotate through three courses at PGA West: Pete Dye Stadium Course, La Quinta Country Club and the Nicklaus Tournament Course. Those who reach Sunday will play at the Stadium Course a second time.

If you’d like to learn more about PGA West, SI’s Golf’s John Schwarb recently escaped Midestern winter for a visit—the place has never looked better.

Here are the final payouts for the 2026 American Express. This article will be updated Sunday evening at the conclusion of play.
