The First Look: The American ExpressThe First Look: The American Express

The PGA TOUR returns to the U.S. mainland for The American Express in La Quinta, California. This year's edition will have a different look - only two courses will be used, and amateurs will not play alongside the pros - but a strong field has assembled, highlighted by Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka, Patrick Reed, Patrick Cantlay and tournament host Phil Mickelson. Andrew Landry is your defending champion. FIELD NOTES: Amateur standout John Augenstein, the runner-up in the 2019 U.S. Amateur, is making his professional debut. He also was a member of the United States' victorious Walker Cup team in 2019 and the 2020 SEC Player of the Year. He made the cut in the 2020 Masters, finishing T55... Koepka is making his first start of the 2021 calendar year. He battled injury last season but showed flashes of his usual brilliance with a T5-T7 run at the Vivint Houston Open and the Masters... Past FedExCup champion Bill Haas looks to become the only three-time winner of The American Express. Arnold Palmer won the event five times, but Haas is one of seven golfers (including Mickelson) who has won it twice... Mickelson is making his first start of the 2021 calendar year. This is the second time he'll play host, as well as compete... Francesco Molinari returns to action. The past Open Championship winner had a truncated year in 2020 due to COVID-19 concerns. He played three times in the fall, with his best finish being a T15 at the Vivint Houston Open... There are 13 golfers ranked in the top 50 in the world teeing it up at The American Express. Rahm, who's ranked No. 2 in the world and a past American Express champion, leads the way. Rahm beat Landry in a playoff at PGA West in 2018. Other top-ranked golfers making the trip to the Coachella Valley include the ninth-ranked Cantlay, No. 11 Reed, who won the 2014 American Express, No. 15 Matthew Wolff, and No. 18 Sungjae Im. FEDEXCUP: Winner receives 500 points COURSE: Stadium Course at PGA West, 7,113 yards, par 72 and Nicklaus Tournament Course at PGA West, 7,152 yards, par 72 (yardages subject to change). For the first time in tournament history, The American Express will be conducted on fewer than three courses. This marks the sixth year the Stadium Course and the Nicklaus Tournament Course will be part of the rotation. STORYLINES: The pro-am portion of the tournament has been eliminated for the first time in its history due to COVID-19 health and safety precautions. The cut will go from the typical 54 holes to 36. The only other time there was not a pro-am was in the second round of 2010, when amateur play was suspended due to weather. It's set to return in 2022... Youth will be served at The American Express. Not only will Augenstein make his pro debut, but other sponsor exemptions include 18-year-old Korean star Joohyung Kim, fellow teenager Akshay Bhatia, and 23-year-old Englishman Harry Hall, who had two top-10s to finish the Korn Ferry Tour season last October... Landry is looking to become the first golfer to defend his title at The American Express since Johnny Miller in 1975-76... Adam Hadwin finished 2nd-T3-T2 at this event from 2017-19 before missing last year's event due to the birth of he and his wife's first child. He'll return this year looking for some rekindled magic... The American Express, PGA TOUR, and the Mickelson Foundation announced a $1-million donation to Coachella Valley-based charities. 72-HOLE RECORD: 260, Patrick Reed (2014). 18-HOLE RECORD: 59, David Duval (5th round, 1999 at PGA West/Palmer), Adam Hadwin (3rd round, 2017 at La Quinta CC). Stadium Course record: 63, Abraham Ancer (4th round, 2020), Sam Burns (4th round, 2020), Jonathan Fricke (2nd round, 2008 Q-School*), Whee Kim (2nd round, 2012 Q-School*). Nicklaus Tournament record: 59, Harrison Frazar (4th round, 2008 Q-School*). Note: Q-School does not count as an official PGA TOUR event. LAST TIME: Landry fended off a hard-charging Abraham Ancer to notch his second PGA TOUR title. Ancer, fresh off his Presidents Cup appearance in 2019, fired a Sunday 63 (tied for the round of the day) which included going 3 under for his final five holes. Landry made it interesting in the final nine holes. He birdied Nos. 10-12 but gave those shots right back with bogeys on Nos. 13-15. His only par of the back nine came on the par-5 16th. He added birdies on the final two holes to seal the win. Scottie Scheffler, who would go on to win PGA TOUR Rookie of the Year, finished third. Bud Cauley and Sepp Straka finished T4 and rounded out the top five.

Woods: ‘I don’t know what my future holds for me.’Woods: ‘I don’t know what my future holds for me.’

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Tiger Woods, an assistant to U.S. Captain Steve Stricker at this week’s Presidents Cup at Liberty National, reiterated Wednesday he hopes one day to return to competition. As for why he wants to return, that’s simple. “I think it’s fun,â€� Woods said at a news conference in which he sat alongside the three other U.S. assistants and the four for International Team Captain Nick Price. “You know, I’ve been competing in golf tournaments since I was, what, 4 years old. From pitch, putt and drive to playing major championships, it’s always been fun to me.â€� Although he won five times on the PGA TOUR in 2013, Woods has made just 19 starts since then, including one in 2017, at the Farmers Insurance Open in January. He shot 76-72 to miss the cut, and announced in April that he had undergone back fusion surgery—his fourth back operation in three years. He hasn’t taken a full swing since then, although he announced last week he was hitting 60-yard shots. Woods will turn 42 in December. “He loves being here,â€� Stricker said. “He’s very appreciative of it. I’ve had some conversations with him and I know his aspirations are still to come back and play well, and win again.â€� To a man, players – even those on the International team — speak of soaking up knowledge when they’re around the 79-time PGA TOUR winner Woods. Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas, each 24, grew up watching him on TV. But Stricker said he hoped this week would also offer Woods something in return, perhaps some peace of mind, rejuvenation, or even just a good laugh while reconnecting to the game and its players. “I wanted Tiger here,â€� Stricker said. “He’s a friend.â€� Woods wasn’t always sure he would make it, what with his fragile back and the usual jouncing up and down of simply riding in a golf cart. He has made slow progress, though, and is at least sleeping better and has no nerve pain running down his legs. “I don’t know what 100 percent means after eight surgeries,â€� he said. “But I’ll try and get as close as I can to that number, yes. But as I said, we just take it one step at a time. It’s a process, and I’m in no hurry.â€� He has been well enough for putting contests with fellow South Floridians Rickie Fowler and Thomas when they drop by. And what about those 60-yard shots? “I’m hitting it really straight,â€� Woods said, an attempt at levity. “It’s a joke,â€� he added. “Smile, OK?â€� Woods knows Liberty National well, having lost by a shot to Heath Slocum when the course hosted THE NORTHERN TRUST in 2009. He has played on eight Presidents Cup teams, starting with the 1998 matches at Royal Melbourne, the site of the Internationals’ lone victory against nine losses and one tie. That experience, plus his Ryder Cup history, his three straight U.S. Amateur titles, his 14 major titles—all of it gives him instant credibility as an assistant. Brooks Koepka, who along with Daniel Berger, Spieth and Patrick Reed is playing in the U.S. Team’s four-man pod overseen by Woods this week, remembers playing with Woods for the first time at the 2013 PGA Championship at Oak Hill in Rochester, New York. “I spent the first nine holes watching him instead of playing golf,â€� Koepka said. “We talked about stuff, but I was more interested in watching him; I’ve done that my whole career. He hasn’t given me too much advice. He’s fun to be around. I’ll pick his brain about course management, since he knows more about it than I do. I’ve never been here.â€� Easily the youngest assistant captain on either team, Woods huddled with fellow assistants Fred Couples, Jim Furyk and Davis Love III as Stricker announced the U.S. Team’s Foursomes partnerships Wednesday. But will he ever be a player again? And what would that be like for 20-somethings like Koepka, who have ruled the game? Playing against a ghost? A highlight reel? “It would be fun to have him back,â€� Koepka said. “Fans want it. Players want it.â€� Most of all, perhaps, Woods wants it, even if the “itâ€� in question is as iffy as ever. Asked if he could foresee a future in which he did not return to competitive golf, Woods didn’t hesitate. “Yeah, definitely,â€� he said. “I don’t know what my future holds for me.â€�
