American Express 2026 is set for a history-filled final round.
Si Woo Kim, who turned down an offer to join LIV Golf this offseason, enters the final round in the PGA West with a one-shot lead. But world number 1 Scottie Scheffler and 18-year-old phenom Blades Brown are a shot back.
Brown, who began the week playing the Bahamas Great Abaco Classic on the Korn Ferry Tour, has a chance to become the youngest PGA Tour winner in history if he can best Kim and Scheffler on Sunday.
“I’m having fun out there,” Brown said Saturday after his round. “I’m 18 years old playing on the PGA TOUR. How awesome is that? I graduated high school about two weeks ago, so it’s nice to have that burden off my back, but I can’t wait for tomorrow.”
As for Scheffler, the world No. 1 will arrive on Sunday as the betting favorite and in 18 holes to join Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus as the only players to win four majors and 20 PGA Tour events before turning 30.
All three will compete for 1.656 million dollars control of the winner, but they will also have to contend with several others, including 2023 US Open champion Wyndham Clark. Clark sits just two strokes behind Kim, along with Eric Cole. Patrick Cantlay sits five back at 17, while Rickie Fowler’s slow Saturday saw him tied for 20th, seven shots behind Kim.
