The 2022-23 PGA TOUR season is headed back to US main soil after spending weeks in beautiful Hawaii, with the 2023 American Express scheduled to kick off this coming Thursday at Pete Dye Stadium Course in La Quinta. There’s going to be plenty of interest in this tournament, especially with the total purse at the American Express slightly bigger than the $7.9 million amount that was distributed among the top finishers in the 2023 Sony Open.

For the first time in the history of the tournament, the purse has hit the $8 million mark. Last year, the American Express had a total purse worth $7.6 million. This tournament traces its roots all the way back to 1960 when it was still known as the Palm Springs Desert Golf Classic. That time, the total purse was just $70,000, with the winner (Fred Hawkins) taking home $12,000.
