The Aloha Swing is officially over as the West Coast Swing begins anew this week at the 2025 American Express. Marking the first stop on the PGA Tour's conquest across the continental United States, the American Express will feature a full field of 156 players and many of the top names in the game.
While world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler was scheduled to return to action this week, the reigning PGA Tour Player of the Year withdrew and will instead chart his return for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in two weeks. World No. 2 Xander Schauffele also withdrew on Monday.
Justin Thomas will seek his first victory since the 2022 PGA Championship. The 15-time winner nearly added No. 16 to his résumé at this tournament a year ago but was upended by amateur Nick Dunlap who is set to make a title defense. Thomas is among the betting favorites according to the latest 2025 American Express odds at 12-1 (risk $100 to win $1,200).
Sungjae Im, Sam Burns and Patrick Cantlay are among those who finished inside the top 15 at the Sentry and make their second starts of the season. Tom Kim, Wyndham Clark, Tony Finau, Si Woo Kim, Max Greyserman and Cameron Young round out the notables in the field.
