P GA WEST will once again find itself at the center of the professional golf universe January 16-22 when The American Express brings the world's top golfers – as well as some amazing musical entertainment – to the Coachella Valley for the PGA Tour's annual visit. Dating back to 1960 when it was founded as the Palm Springs Desert Classic, The American Express is unique in that it is one of the Tour's only remaining true pro-am events, and it continues to modernize the fan experience by offering world-class concerts after play on Friday and Saturday. This year, iconic Southern California native Gwen Stefani will take to the driving range stage to perform on Friday, January 20, and three-time Grammy Award winning singer/ songwriter Darius Rucker will delight fans on Saturday, January 21. "The Concert Series helps make this tournament one of the most highly anticipated stops on the Tour," said Pat McCabe, Executive Director of The American Express. "We're looking forward to welcoming Gwen and Darius and continuing to grow the more than $63 million in total charitable funds that have been raised through this tournament to support local Coachella Valley-based charity organizations." Tournament action tees off on Thursday, January 19, when amateurs will play along- side their professional partners for the first three rounds at the Nicklaus Tournament Course and Pete Dye Stadium Course, as well as La Quinta Country Club. The Stadium Course will take center stage for the pros-only final round. This year's field will be announced soon, and recent champions have included current World No. 5 Jon Rahm, two-time Presidents Cup member Si Woo Kim and former major champion Jason Dufner. ....................................................... > CLICK HERE for tickets, hospitality opportunities, volunteer details and more.
