The 2023 American Express
US PGA Tour
La Quinta Country Club
California, USA
19–22 January 2023
World No. 5 Patrick Cantlay will be looking to put pressure on Jon Rahm when they tee off at
The American Express.
Ten of the world's top-20 golfers will be in action at the La Quinta Country Club in California this week, where the winner will pocket $1,440,000 of the $8,000,000 purse.

Cantlay saw Sentry Tournament of Champions winner Rahm overtake him in the Official Golf World Ranking (OGWR) this week and he'll be hoping for a strong performance in his second PGA Tour event of the season.
The American just missed out on his ninth PGA Tour victory when he finished three strokes behind Kim Joo-Hyung in joint-second place at the Shriners Children's Open in September 2022.

Cantlay has been critical of the PGA Tour in the past, which has led to rumours of him defecting to LIV Golf but while he remains steadfast in his commitment, the 30-year-old is not afraid to upset the wrong people.
"I think I'm just not afraid to go against the grain or hold an unpopular take if I think it's founded in some sort of truth or reality," he told GOLF's Dylan Dethier.
"I'm not afraid to upset 90 percent of the people in the room if I think it's a subject that's worth making them upset about.
"If I think that it's grounded in reality and I think it's worth talking about, I think we should talk about it. It's easy for one person to go down the wrong path, but it's harder for a lot of people to go down the wrong path."
