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

The American Express heads to a second day in the California desert. The third event on the PGA Tour's 2025 schedule is the first tournament on the mainland. There are 156 players in the field and they each will play the three golf courses once over the first three days.
