Jason Day Looking to Start 2026 Strong at The American Express
After an up-and-down 2025 season that included nine top-30 finishes in 17 starts, including four top 10's, Jason Day will look to start 2026 on the right note at The American Express. He has played this event four times with some success, including two top-20 finishes and a T3 last year. Success at this multi-course event typically hinges on putting and precision with wedges and short irons. Day ranked just 125th in strokes gained on approach (-0.113 per round) last year, but was a solid putter at 58th (+0.171). He also ranked 15th in proximity from 125-150 yards, a distance that could prove to be key at this event. If Day can put together a strong week ball-striking, his game should be well-positioned to contend again in the Coachella Valley.
