The golf world is buzzing with excitement as the 2024 American Express kicks off the PGA Tour’s California swing in Palm Springs. One standout name on the list of prominent golfers that captures the attention of fans is Justin Thomas. The event is of utmost importance for the 2-time PGA Championship winner, for he needs a good weekend if he is to secure a spot in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, considering he hasn’t qualified for the signature events this year.

The competition this week is more intense than ever thanks to JT’s participation as well as that of a few of his 2023 Ryder Cup teammates, including Scottie Scheffler, Patrick Cantlay, Xander Schauffele, Sam Burns, and Wyndham Clark. Fans will undoubtedly be excited to watch all these stars duke it out on the greens. And here’s how they can:
