The American Express is a unique format: three courses with short, scorable desert tracks at PGA West Stadium Course, plus La Quinta and the Nicklaus Tournament Course in the rotation. The winning score is pretty much pre-written at 20-under or better. This is a green light event, where fairways are wide, pins are attackable and birdies are plentiful. Power and distance isn't required. Instead, what matters is who can create chances with wedges and short irons, and actually convert when scoring is easy.
