Inside The American Express 2026: Which Six Outrights Could Spark a Birdie Frenzy and Who Will Dominate the Putting Green?
As LIV Tour sellout Jon Rahm once said, The American Express is a “f*cking putting contest”. Ball-striking is more predictive of a golfer’s future success, whereas putting is random. Because the AmEx is so easy tee-to-green (T2G), it’s usually won by whoever putts the best on the weekend.
Anyway, the AmEx has a unique setup. It has a 54-hole cut, played on a three-course rota: The La Quinta Country Club for one round, the Nicklaus Tournament Course for another, and the Pete Dye Stadium Course for two rounds, including the final round. All three are short-ish birdie-fests with West Coast Poa grass greens.
