Who are the top-ranked players on The American Express 2024 field? Player rankings explored

The American Express 2024 is set to tee off on Thursday, January 18 at the PGA West in La Quinta, California. Ahead of the event, the PGA Tour has confirmed the field and it features 22 of the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking among the top contenders. The four-day event will have a stacked 156-player field competing for the $8.4 million prize purse.

The American Express field is headlined by World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. The event, the third of the 2024 PGA Tour season, will also feature No. 5 Xander Schauffele, No. 6 Patrick Cantlay and No. 10 Wyndham Clark. World No. 14 Tom Kim, No. 18 Jason Day, No.21 Tony Finau and No.23 Chris Kirk will be at the event as well.

The event will mark the return of World No.28 Justin Thomas to the competitive field. He hasn’t played since missing the FedEx Cup cut last year. Notably, last week’s Sony Open in Hawaii champion Grayson Murray will also be at the California event. The 38-year-old jumped a whopping 86 OWGR spots from 132nd to 46th after the win, making him a top-ranked player on the field.
