Viewer’s guide: 2020 American Express tee times, TV schedule and purse

This week the PGA Tour heads to La Quinta, Calif., for the 2020 American Express tournament. You can find full American Express tee times, along with everything else you should know about the tournament, at the bottom of this post.

2020 American Express preview

The American Express is not a new event, but it does have a new name by way of its new title sponsor, American Express. The tournament, known as the Desert Classic in 2019, is one of the longest-running in Tour history.

American entertainer Bob Hope was the longtime host of the event, which is now played across three different courses: PGA West’s Stadium Course, PGA West’s Nicklaus Tournament Course, and La Quinta Country Club. It also features amateurs in the field, much like the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am held annually at Pebble Beach.

Last year’s tournament was won by Adam Long, who beat Adam Hadwin and Phil Mickelson in a playoff to capture his first PGA Tour victory. Long and Mickelson, who shot a 60 in the first round last year, are back in the field in 2020 to do battle again. Mickelson begins his opening round at La Quinta Country Club on Thursday at 11:40 a.m. ET. Long will begin his title defense 10 minutes earlier on the same course.
