What is the 2024 American Express purse? Exploring tournament payouts and more
The PGA Tour makes its way to California for its third event, The American Express 2024. With a field of 156 players, including World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, World No. 10 Wyndham Clark and four-time PGA Tour champion Daniel Berger, the tournament is set to begin in La Quinta from January 18-21.
Jon Rahm, the defending champion, won't participate in the event due to his involvement with the LIV league. Nevertheless, Chris Kirk, the 2024 Sentry winner, and Grayson Murray, the Sony Open winner, are set to make their presence felt in the competition.
The 65th edition of the America Express 2024 will take place at three different golf courses, including the La Quinta Country Club, the PGA West Nicklaus Tournament Course and the PGA West Pete Dye Stadium Course.
