The year started with a bang for golf fans with the Sentry Tournament earlier this month. The excitement was soon followed by the Sony Open at Waialae Country Club. Now the PGA Tour travels to California for the third event of the year, the American Express. With its huge purse and competitive field, the event is sure to keep golf fans on the edge of their seats for the four days.
The defending champion, Hudson Swafford, will not be at the event. The pro defected to LIV Golf last year and is therefore banned from participating in PGA Tour events. This means the event will see a new champion take hold of the trophy.
