The Courses, Format &amp; Preview<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike most PGA Tour events, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theamexgolf.com\/player-commitments\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the American Express<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is played across three different courses during the first three rounds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Players rotate between the Pete Dye Stadium Course at PGA West, the Nicklaus Tournament Course at PGA West and La Quinta Country Club. The field is then cut, and the final round is contested on the Stadium Course.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each course has greens that run at different speeds, holes laid out in different ways, and visuals that can affect how shots look and feel. That makes it difficult for players to be consistent, but those who thrive in the conditions are the ones who will be successful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Pete Dye Stadium Course is usually the toughest venue, which explains why it is used for the final round. It requires players to make smart decisions and rewards precise approach shots. The Nicklaus Tournament Course is less daunting, while La Quinta Country Club traditionally yields lower scores, giving players a chance to build momentum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The spotlight will firmly be on Scheffler, who is making his return to competitive action. He featured at December\u2019s Hero World Challenge and finished joint-fourth, but the American Express will be his first true competitive test in several months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This tournament also represents something of a personal reset for Scheffler. He was forced to miss the 2025 event after suffering a hand injury in a freak kitchen accident on Christmas Day. It delayed his start to the season and forced him to wait until Pebble Beach to begin his campaign. He will be keen to finally lift his first trophy at the American Express on his sixth attempt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The set-up of the tournament makes it one of the most unpredictable events on the PGA, which means often pays to look further down the betting market for the winner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Russell Henley holds plenty of appeal at odds of 22\/1. He is a strong driver, has a solid wedge game and puts well, which are usually good pointers in this tournament.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He has previously shot 64 and 65 at the Nicklaus Tournament Course, so he could be a good bet if he can score well on the other courses.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The PGA Tour returns to California in January as some of the top players in the world head to the Coachella Valley desert in La Quinta for the eagerly anticipated [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":44026,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-44025","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The American Express 2026: Odds, Courses, Format &amp;
