American Express 2026 Golf Live Online: PGA Tour

From 22 to 25 January 2026

The 2026 PGA Tour professional golf event, The American Express (formerly known as the Desert Classic), will take place from January 22 to 25, 2026. Since its inception in 1960, it has always been held in Riverside County, California, and is now contested on three world-class courses, including the PGA West's Stadium Course, the Nicklaus Tournament Course, and La Quinta Country Club.

The Desert Classic was popular for its celebrity Pro-Am round previously. The tournament has featured the world’s best golfers throughout the years, such as Kirk Douglas, Samuel L. Jackson, Frank Sinatra, President Dwight Eisenhower, and many more. Even though there will no longer be any celebrity Pro-Am, the American Express Championship remains a significant and enjoyable PGA Tour stop.

In 2022, Hudson Swafford won the competition a second time after finishing two strokes ahead of Tom Hoge.
