LA QUINTA, Calif. – So, you want to play in the American Express pro-am? This bucket-list experience can be yours if you’ve got $30,000 burning a hole in your pocket.
After a one year absence due to COVID-19, the pro-am is back this week just as it has been every year in the tournament’s 63-year history.
The Amex actually was approved for a pro-am last year, but called it off shortly before the event because organizers weren’t comfortable encouraging non-essential travel when hospitals were full. That lead to pent-up demand to participate this year with many of the amateurs who previously signed up asking for their spot to be reserved. By August, the field was full.
