The 2025 The American Express features 156 of the PGA Tour's best taking on PGA West and La Quinta Country Club in La Quinta, California. With online streams from Golf Channel in their apps and websites, you have no excuse to miss a minute of the action.

You can watch the 2025 The American Express online from Thursday through Sunday in the United States, with NBC and Golf Channel coverage and PGA Tour Live online streams for the pro-am event in Palm Springs.

The event will feature 156 players in this event, which is the first full-field tournament of the year on the PGA Tour schedule played in the mainland United States. Last year, the event featured the first amateur winner on the PGA Tour in 33 years in Nick Dunlap.

The field will be cut after 54 holes to the top 65 and ties in this tournament, which features four rounds on a three-course rotation.

At the end of the 72-hole tournament, the player with the lowest combined score against par wins the event. The champion gets $1,584,000 from the tournament purse.
