The 2026 The American Express concluded on January 25, 2026, in La Quinta, with Scottie Scheffler capturing the title at 27-under par, winning by four shots over Sam Burns. The tournament was contested across three courses, but the PGA West Stadium Course—designed by Pete Dye—proved the sternest test of the rota, playing as the toughest of the three venues used during the week. On a final day when precision and discipline mattered most, Dye’s trademark visual pressure and strategic demands once again helped shape the championship outcome.
