Golf fans have a regular cadence for watching tournaments during the PGA Tour season. There's the opening round, then cut day, then moving day, then the final round.
Well, The American Express golf tournament, The AmEx for short, does things differently.
It's only the second tourney on the PGA Tour's calendar for the new season, and it's the first appearance of the year for a number of the planet's best golfers, including world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.
The second round tees off Friday in California, but it won't be cut day, and that's quite unusual.

When is the AmEx cut day?
The American Express golf tournament won't make cuts until after the third round on Saturday after 54 holes of the tournament.
Who makes the AmEx cut line?
At the conclusion of play Saturday, the top-65 players plus ties will advance to the final round on Sunday.
Why is The American Express golf cut after 3 days?
The cut takes place after three days because the tournament isn't held on one course.
Golfers play each of the first three rounds on a different course. They don't all play the same one each day, which means they have to rotate through each of the three courses.
Because courses could play more easily or more difficult than others, it's only fair to do the cut after all the golfers have played all three courses.
What is The American Express cut line?
In 2025, the cut line was -9. Golfers who were 9-under made the cut, and golfers at 8-under missed.
This year's tournament won't know that answer until Saturday evening.
