The PGA TOUR returns to the mainland this week for the 65th annual playing of The American Express. This event is the first multi-course event of the season. Justin Thomas will be teeing it up for the first time this year, his first appearance in La Quinta since finishing T7 in 2015. He’ll be looking to replicate the form which saw him claim three-straight top-fives worldwide after missing out on the FedExCup Playoffs. Scottie Scheffler will also be in California this week and has three top-25 results at The American Express in his career highlighted by a solo third in 2020. He also managed a T5 at The Sentry two weeks ago. Min Woo Lee will also like his chances this week in the Coachella Valley as he concluded 2023 as one of the hottest on the planet with a pair of wins worldwide highlighting a stretch of five-straight top-15s. Others to look out for are Xander Schauffele, Tony Finau, Rickie Fowler and Will Zalatoris.

Best thing to happen to the PGATOUR in a long time
That's true 😢
All the best players going to Liv so an amateur can win?
Think you meant since 2019 when Tiger won the Masters!
@@facepalm-td9fb LIV players are soft and gave up their careers for a payday. This is real competition and history right here.
@@stephenlabadie8183 tiger just teeing it up in a tournament this year would be bigger for the PGA than this
Wish the blowup hole was shown. It’s an important part of the round and y’all just omitted it
Agree, without that the game would have been very different.
It really does make the outcome even more impressive. Most pros would have collapsed.
Pro tip: There are other videos on youtube.
@@omission6919 😤
@@omission6919 Pro tip: this is showing the highlights from the final round. It belonged here.
Watching him swing in the US Am was just perfection and seeing him here was even better.
Fantastic swing and incredible poise. This kid has a bright future ahead of him in the sport.
Good-looking lad as well. Wouldn't be surprised if he lands some serious sponsor money and gets promoted heavily by the tour. A star might be born,,,
Wish you'd told me that a week ago. How did you know?
@@FrankOBrien-ti7ny I knew after observing what he did in this tournament.
@@user-ox9ep9ki6h🌈
He went toe to toe with Justin Thomas and Sam Burns and beat them and a bunch of really good players. In my lifetime of 55 years this ranks up there pretty high with the most impressive things I've ever seen in golf.
How is a birdie fest impressive?
It’s no challenge for them whatsoever
Just target golf.
@@mattsturgess1545go do it then.
@@FirstNameLastName-lu5nr im a spectator and it’s boring to watch.
@@mattsturgess1545 He's an amateur dude so apparently you don't play or know anything about golf. Nobody has won a PGA tour event as an amateur since Mickelson did it around 1990
@@joeldriver-sp2rg it’s not an amateur as we know it , 15 handicapper slapping it about
He’s probably playing off like +5 as a guess
He as good as the rest , he just doesn’t get paid for what he does , because he’s not a pro yet
I’m not disrespecting him , I’m just saying , it’s boring watching a birdie fest.
That really had to be a roller coaster of emotions as it really looked like he was going to fall just short until 17 when Burns hit it in the water and then crumbled on 18. But finding out just prior to that chip on 18 that he only had a 1-stroke cushion and then pulling it off was absolutely clutch. And even after the great chip, had to make a 5-6 footer which normally, not a big deal but in that scenario had to look like it was a 20 footer. Well done young man!
As another said best thing for the PGA tour in a long time!
20 years old w/ laser focus, titanium balls and nerves of steel. Job well done!

What a moment we had the privilege to witness live. One thing I always preach to my juniors is that in the end golf is all about character, and now I can talk about this young man's performance as Exhibit A!
JT is getting very media savvy, nice use of hat so know one could lip read when he was talking to Dunlap at the end.
He wanted a golfer from Alabama to win.
I think if you can swing a PGA tour event as amateur you should automatically get your tour card. What an amazing accomplishment 😮
I'm pretty sure he will as soon as he turns pro.
invites will coming out of his ears
Amateur status doesn't matter. He gets a full 2 year card + a (roughly) 50% 3rd year card automatically. Even if he never makes a cut, he'll be getting into around half of the events of 2027.
That is exactly how it works, he receives a 2 year exemption
Agree.
Best Amex tournament I have ever watched!!!! Way to go brother!!!!🎉
Amazing play by the young man. And can we just all take time to appreciate JT. Taking the time to make sure Nick is able to calm down, finish and then relish in this amazing accomplishment. Love to see it!
I am glad that his mom and dad made it to the tournament. They got to watch their son make great history with his win on the PGA tour This was fun to watch and I am watching the ending again~! Shalom
Loved watching him taking over at last 3 holes especially. I am pretty damn sure this experience will be his biggest asset for his golf professional career to come!
That's gonna be remembered for years, great performance!
Watching the emotion pour over the kid at the end…look on his face was “did I really just do that?”
Shows how in the moment he was the whole round, incredible to watch.
not an alt-field event even. he had pretty much the entire presidents cup (both sides) in his rear view mirror and in position to run him down, and still got it done. ive never seen anything like this.
Anyone else think he’s already got a call from Greg Norman? 😂
Yes. I'm sure. I really don't like Greg Norman. At all. Sure, he was a great golfer. Not a particularly great guy though.
Anyway, congrats to Dunlap!!!!! So so cool!
The Adidas brigade have him storm trooping in full regalia
Hit the little ball to the amusement of his saudi overlords, what a sad life...
When most of us look back at our early 20’s it’s the absurd confidence that stick out to me. The world hasn’t yet beat you down and the potential for anything still exists.
he has a nice compact swing. I think he's going to win a lot of tournaments.
the pure iron sound is just a music to my ears. Someone needs to make the pure iron sound a ring tone.
😂good idea 💡
Elite ball striking from the young man. Can set his tempo to a metronome. Congratulations Mr. Dunlap!
This is incredible and inspiring
God his ball striking is so clean, congrats on the win 🥇
Way to go, kid!
Life changing stuff right here!
Congrats, Nick.
Great win and huge for the PGA. Now keep the game in the spotlight and show off this great talent. If the PGA does this right people will watch. Great players showed up for this one.
Liv just offered him 20 million
Love his golf swing. Great win.
Looks like a very humble kid who works hard at his craft
I've been wondering when we were going to see something like this. Amazing!
Great to see for the game of golf, well done Nick Dunlap
I can’t wait for golf digest to post a video about his swing
quiet hands... square at the takeaway... fantastic club delivery... wonderful finish 😂😂😂😂 insert all other overused descriptors
The PGA tour has competition coming 👍👍👍😎
That's because everyone's fooked off!!
Simply amazing. 🎉
Great future ahead for this young man!!
Boy the pga will Dunlap this up
definition of a pure ball striker
Refreshing. Well done sir
He really has an incredibly smooth swing
Cinderella man!! Love it!
Congrats, wow!!
That was magical
Gives hope for all those who are also amateurs. Next thing you know, I’ll shock the world. I can easily put up 50… over par
Going to be a great addition to LIV!👍🏼
Don't leave home without that guy.
This is awesome
I went to the Pete dye Stadium course a week ago. It`s nice dune course.
Inspirational. Good for him
Is this Scott Dunlap’s kid? What a player!
No, it isn't Scott Dunlap's kid.
Amazing, simply amazing
Great going nick 🎉
When Mickelson won while attending ASU in 1991 I couldn't believe it possible. This proves anything is possible.
Scott Verplank won the Western Open in 1985 while attending OSU. Were you unaware of that fact in 1991?
Amazing!!
Great Job Nick!
WOW!
So nice to see.
Say what you may about LIV, but it has free up space for many other players to be PGA superstars. It's been great.
This was special to watch
Love to see it
Unreal!
Wow just wow
Is the world shocked? america might be, but I'm sitting here this morning in Britain and I just feel happy for the fellow.
i mean I'm also in Britain and I guess shocked is a bit overused in today's world of sensationalism however looking at his pre tournament winning odds (400/1).. it's a fairly shocking result.
Will see how good he is at the Masters!
Perfect time to join LIV Golf.
Well done, congrats
Serious clutch putting
He’s gonna be a good future LIV golfer.
I thought LIV had had all the has-beens. It's mighty funny that we have an amateur win a PGAT event. 🙉
Shhhhh don’t make them mad
Well done, young man.
ROLL TIDE BABY!
Most exciting thing to happen on the PGA Tour since LIV. Too bad they didn't show his double.
Absolute baller !
Classy ending by all.
New legend
Kid is a beast
Wow!
-20s everywhere... must've been a tough course..
..
You can see hes got bigtime feel. Awesome!
I wanna hear the interview.
Good ole, home-schooled boy from Alabama.
Last Place at the 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am, but still received $32,000 for finishing in 80th Place. It was Wyndham Clark's turn to shoot nearly 59 that week.
damn foreeal? still a nice little bit
This is insane
Looks like the product of a Justin Rose and Colin Morikawa baby
I heard his putting has been fantastic for the past year and a half. Too bad they didn't show his putting.
.. awesome...
While a great win for this young man we are starting to see The LIV effect on the PGA depth and talent pool
Only one driver swing?? 😂 so sick though
Real sport
Sucks cuz he doesnt even get paid at all since hes an amateur. That $1.5 mil goes to second place Bezuidenhout, he was probably thrilled he didnt have to fight for a playooff lmao. Either way great accomplishment and hes got quite the future. But like come on if you win you should get the prize regardless you still beat everyone fair and square.
The winner if he’s an amateur doesn’t even get prize money for PGA tournament .No wonder it’s the same names year after year.
This kid was prepared for when his passion and preparation,crossed paths with his potential destiny !
He got it done and now his destiny has been determined.
Great story and well done Nick ❤
Dunlap making the Ryder cup team
He’ll be great on LIV
That’s so gangster
yep
Probably the greatest thing to happen in the modern golf era. And that includes Tiger. It's a lot harder to win now than in 1991 like Phil. He went up against golf's global prodgies. HIs humble character makes him an instant superstar. He makes everyone feel like he's their own kid. And the Alabama golf team mayhem on the bus was pure. If I were him, I would stay Amateur until the end of the masters and try emulate Bobby Jones....for the purity of the game. If he were to win, he would go down in history. Not likely but what if..
And give up two yr exemption on pga tour or even a surprise money bag endorsement from liv? Not sure if staying A would be a pure move at all
Mickelson won in 1991, not 1951. The PGA was already a global game by then. If anything, it is easier now because so many in the LIV aren't eligible to play.
If he waits till after the masters, she still gets his two year extension
The kid can roll the ball.
27 under on the final round 😂
The reason why I don’t watch PGA tour 😂😂😂
-27 over four days
@@Troy-fv9uq yeah it’s a boring birdie fest 😴
I cant imagine that feels fully real to him lol. Give it 10 months.
I literally cried watching this. Idfk why tho
Don’t change your swing! Don’t even think about it.
Is his left wrist taped? What is that
