The second round of the 2026 American Express golf tournament is set to begin on Friday morning at PGA West in La Quinta, California. As the action heats up, here’s everything you need to know to catch the tournament, including TV coverage, streaming options, and tee times for Round 2.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler started off his season with an impressive performance on Thursday at La Quinta Country Club, recording an outstanding nine-under par 63 with nine birdies and no bogeys. Scheffler’s accuracy showed as he hit 17 of 18 greens, and even managed to chip in for birdie on the one he missed. Despite this stellar round, he trails behind Min Woo Lee and Pierceson Coody, both of whom are tied for the lead at ten-under on the Nicklaus Tournament Course at PGA West. Scheffler is scheduled to switch to the Nicklaus course for his second round.
