Golf: Thee Golfers who could win the American Express

1 month ago - Sportingbase

The PGA Tour moves to mainland USA for the first time in 2026 this weekend. Here are the three golfers I like the most at the American Express.

Scottie Scheffler

There will be a new rule this year. As long as he is playing, Scottie Scheffler will be among our three each week. The only exceptions to this rule are if he was crappy week the previous week or if he is injured. The world number one is coming off a masterful year where he was named the Player of the Year again and won six tournaments. Scheffler’s best career result at the American Express Championship was a third place finish where he shot a score of -23. The only two golfers he was behind were American champion Andrew Landry (-26) and Mexican Abraham Ancer (-24).

Sam Burns

Sam Burns of Shreveport, Louisiana is known for his exceptional putting. That will be something very important this week as a lot of birdies will be available. Every golfer who has won the American Express Championship since 2008 has had a minimum score of -20.

Harry Hall

There is a general feeling by many that England’s Harry Hall is going to have an exceptional week. The world number 54 is also a strong putter, and has one PGA title in his career. That came at the 2024 ISCO Championship in Louisville, Kentucky. Hall had a score of -22 that particular week, and came up clutch when it mattered most. That is because he beat Americans Zac Blair, Pierceson Coody and Matthew NeSmith, along with Rico Hoey of the Philippines in a playoff.
