The evolution of the purse at the John Deere Classic

The John Deere Classic has been played since 1971, when it was inaugurated under the name of the Quad Cities Open Invitational. Since 2000, it has been played at TPC Deere Run, and a year earlier, John Deere had become the title sponsor.

The purse for the inaugural edition was $25,000. Deane Beman received $5,000 for his victory in that edition. The following year, the purse grew to $100,000. Beman won again and received $20,000 on that occasion.

Since then, the purse has grown steadily. In 1975, it unfortunately fell back to $75,000, but was back to $100,000 a year later. By 1979, it had reached $200,000. The purse passed the $500,000 mark in 1987 and the $1 million mark in 1990. It was $2 million in 1999 and $3 million in 2002.

The first player to receive more than $1 million for winning the John Deere Classic was Bryson DeChambeau (2017), when the purse reached $5.6 million. Two years later, the purse was $6 million and went over $7 million in 2022. For 2024, it received a further increase to $8 million.
