The PGA Tour returned to the mainland U.S. this week, and once again three southern California courses were the scene for the American Express. The event offered an $8.8 million purse, with $1.584 million to the winner. Sepp Straka is taking home the big ...

Sepp Straka won The American Express by two shots over Justin Thomas. The 31-year-old Austrian finished his third career PGA Tour victory at 25-under 263 with a final-round 70.

Straka entered the new year with a shaved head, and he finally explained why on Saturday at The American Express, which he leads by four.

The win earned the 31-year-old Straka his first title since the 2023 John Deere Classic and the $1,584,000 first-place check, the largest of his career.

The Austrian completed a virtually blemish-free week with a two-under 70 to claim his first PGA Tour title since the 2023 John Deere Classic
