Golf fans, get ready — the Coachella Valley is about to welcome one of the biggest names in the sport. World No. 1 and four-time major champion Scottie Scheffler is officially teeing off the 2026 PGA TOUR season at The American Express®, and all eyes will be on the desert greens.

Scheffler, a 19-time PGA TOUR winner and four-time consecutive Jack Nicklaus Award recipient as Player of the Year, has committed to the tournament, marking his sixth appearance in the Coachella Valley and his first since 2024.
