Charley Hoffman and Rico Hoey both shot a 9-under 63 on the Nicklaus Tournament Course to share the lead Friday after two rounds at The American Express.

Sepp Straka won The American Express by two shots over Justin Thomas on Sunday, finishing his third career PGA Tour victory at 25-under 263 with a final-round 70.

Charley Hoffman won The American Express golf tournament, then the Bob Hope Classic, in January of 2007. That was four months before Blades Brown was born. On Friday, with the 17-year-old Brown playing his second round as a pro, Hoffman found himself outplaying the youngster, though just barely, to take the lead in the desert’s PGA Tour event.

The PAC advises and consults with the PGA Tour Policy Board and Commissioner Jay Monahan on issues affecting the Tour.

World number one Scottie Scheffler and two-times major winner Justin Thomas are among the 16 individuals who will make up the PGA Tour's Player Advisory Council (PAC) in 2025, the U.S.-based circuit said on Tuesday.

The PGA Tour has announced the composition of its Player Advisory Council (PAC) for 2025, which includes top golfers like Scottie Scheffler and Justin Thomas. The PAC advises the PGA Tour Policy Board and Commissioner on circuit-related issues.

The PGA Tour named four first-time members to the 16-member Player Advisory Council on Tuesday. Eric Cole, Trevor Cone, Max McGreevy and Gary Woodland will be making their inaugural service on the PAC, which advises and consults with the PGA Tour Policy Board and commissioner Jay Monahan.

Sepp Straka boatraced his closest competitors for most of the back nine at the Pete Dye Stadium Course at PGA West Sunday afternoon in the closing round of T. With a relatively comfortable lead, he could even afford two bogeys on the final three holes – his first of the 72-hole tournament – before closing it out with a two-putt for his third career PGA Tour victory.
