PGA West’s Pete Dye Stadium Course – one of three courses used for the PGA Tour’s 2024 The American Express in La Quinta, California – opened in 1986 with a design by the legendary architect whose name appears in the layout’s title.

The American Express includes rounds on three courses with those making the cut playing one more round at Pete Dye's Stadium Course—where our expert is focused.
