Now, let me tell you, this here American Express Golf Tournament 2023 is somethin’ else! It happened right there at the famous La Quinta Country Club and the PGA West courses, just like it does every year. You got the big shots comin’ in, you know, folks like Patrick Cantlay, Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, and Rickie Fowler, all swinging their clubs and makin’ a show of it.
This event’s part of the PGA Tour, which means there’s a lotta dough up for grabs. This year, we’re talkin’ a whopping $8 million purse! That’s a lot of cash for swingin’ at a little white ball, ain’t it? These folks sure got skills though, so you can’t say they don’t earn it!
Now, you got three main courses in this tournament, mind you:
- PGA West Stadium Course – Designed by the legendary Pete Dye. They say this one’s tough as nails!
- PGA West Nicklaus Tournament Course – Yep, designed by the one and only Jack Nicklaus.
- La Quinta Country Club – Known for its beautiful views and tricky layout.
These fellas playin’ here ain’t just any golfers, no sir! This field includes 5 of the Top 7 players from the World Golf Ranking at the time. And let me tell ya, they don’t hold back. You got stars like Justin Thomas, Tony Finau, and Sungjae Im joinin’ the mix. Folks come from far and wide just to watch these guys make a shot.
And let me tell ya, it ain’t just about golf here at American Express 2023. They got live music, too! Keith Urban and Train were the headliners, and they sure did put on a show! Made folks forget for a minute that they was even at a golf tournament. Ain’t that somethin’?
Now, for folks lookin’ to get tickets, they had all kinds of options. Daily passes started at around $60, but if ya really wanted the fancy experience, you could go for them premium passes that gave ya access to all sorts of extra spots around the course. Good food, close-up views – they even got special lounges for folks to relax in. A real classy setup, if ya ask me!
But don’t forget now, this is the 64th time they’ve held this tournament, and it just keeps gettin’ better. Every January, folks come down to La Quinta to see these top golfers swingin’ away. This here American Express tournament’s like a tradition now. A bit of golf, a bit of music, and a lotta fun under that California sun. That’s what folks come for!
And them golfers? Well, they put on quite a show, fightin’ to stay on top of that leaderboard. You can bet folks keep their eyes on them scores all the way through – from the first tee on Jan 19th right up to the final hole on Jan 22nd. Nothin’ quite like watchin’ them pros take on a course as tough as PGA West.
So, if you missed it this year, best start makin’ plans for next year’s American Express Golf Tournament. It’s a sight to see, that’s for sure!
