John Deere Classic: Event Information

Event Preview

The countdown to the next major on the golf schedule continues this weekend, as players bid to build momentum at the John Deere Classic. This weekend’s event will be staged at the par 71 TPC Deere Run in Illinois, with a purse of $8.2 million on offer at the stroke play event.

Davis Thompson comes into the weekend as the defending champion, setting record par and aggregate totals when landing success in 2024. However, he will need to rediscover his form if he is to successfully defend his honor in 2025.

Ben Griffin ticks plenty of boxes for the event this weekend. The American has been a standout star on the PGA Tour throughout this season, winning twice in 23 starts in 2025. Meanwhile, he has finished in the top 15 in each of his last six appearances.

Another former champion who is also interesting this weekend is J.T. Poston. The American boasts an excellent record at TPC Deere Run. Meanwhile, Jake Knapp also brings strong form to the table this weekend after finishing in a tie for fourth at the Rocket Classic last time out.

John Deere Classic Picks

We like the chances of Kevin Yu this weekend. The star will be well-rested after finishing in a tie for 25th at the Travelers Championship last month.

His form is reliable after taking top-five finishes in his last four starts, and he has already achieved notable results at the John Deere Classic.
