The PGA Tour will hold its first tournament in the continental United States with The American Express from PGA West in La Quinta, California, January 16-19.
It is a unique week as PGA West has three courses — Pete Dye SC, Nicklaus TC, La Quinta CC. Players will play all three courses for the first three rounds, and then the final round will exclusively be at the Pete Dye Stadium Course.
The cut comes after the third round and rounds are slower than usual as amateurs are paired with the players for the first three rounds.
With that being said, a number of top players are in the field, including Sam Burns, Patrick Cantlay and Justin Thomas.
