The PGA Tour now moves back to the mainland and tees up at the La Quinta resort PGA West California and set at the foot of the majestic Santa Rosa Mountains offering breath-taking views. Unlike last year fans will be back at the tournament this week and with the pro-am and two nights of concerts restored, American Express has its first real chance in 2022 to make an imprint on the 63-year-old desert tournament.
The PGA West Stadium Course was designed by the legendary Pete Dye and like his design at TPC Sawgrass also features an island green at the par 3, 17th that has been dubbed Alcatraz. The 7,300-yard course that is rated one of the “Top 100 Courses to play” (2016-2017) by GOLF Magazine and 4th toughest course in America in Golf Digest’s “Top 50 Toughest Courses in America” (2007).
