After two weeks in Hawaii, the PGA Tour heads to mainland US for The American Express, a tournament comprising 72 holes of strokeplay, but with a cut after 54 holes rather than the more common 36 holes.

The first three days action takes place over three courses - La Quinta's Stadium Course, PGA West and the Nicklaus Course, with each pairing playing a round on each course. Those who make the cut after the third round will then progress to the final round at the Stadium Course.

Because of the format, we know in advance the pairings for the opening three rounds.

Two big names grouped together are Xander Schauffele and Tony Finau, with the pair teeing it up at 11.41pm (ET (4.41pm GMT), with Shane Lowry and Jason Day going out at the same time.

One of the most eye-catching groups sees 2022 Masters champion and World No.1 Scottie Scheffler alongside Patrick Cantlay, who currently ranks sixth in the world. The pair, who were also teammates at last year's Ryder Cup at Marco Simone, get their challenges underway at 12.14pm ET (5.14pm GMT) in round one.

Later in the day, look out for Rickie Fowler, who plays alongside Justin Thomas. The pair begin their first round at 1.31pm ET (6.31pm GMT), with Grayson Murray, who claimed a dramatic playoff win at the Sony Open, teeing off at the same time alongside JT Poston.

There's also an appearance from PGA Championship hero Michael Block thanks to his win at the PGA of Southern California’s section championship in September, but he'll need to wait to get going, with the popular club pro and Norman Xiong going out at 1.42 ET (6.42pm GMT).
