John Deere Classic

The John Deere Classic is a PGA Tour professional golf event. Every year, it takes place at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois, a part of the Quad Cities, the week before the Open Championship. The Open Qualifying Series gives a player who is not already exempt one more chance to qualify for the Open if he finishes in the top five at the John Deere Classic.

Originally held in 1971 under the name Quad Cities Open, the tournament was a "satellite event" on the PGA Tour. In 1972, it was recognized as a formal tour event. The event was hosted by Ed McMahon from 1975 until 1979. The following companies have sponsored the title: John Deere (since 1999), Hardee's (1986–1994), and Miller Brewing Company (1982–1985).

The tournament was held at the Crow Valley Country Club in Davenport, Iowa, from its founding in 1971 until 1974. From 1975 to 1999, it was located at Oakwood Country Club in Coal Valley, Illinois. Since 2000, the event has taken place at Silvis' TPC at Deere Run.

Who won the PGA John Deere Classic in 2024?

Davis Thompson won the 2024 John Deere Classic, his first PGA Tour win, earning $1.44 million of the winner's share from the purse of $8 million. He also set a scoring record for the fewest strokes at the event.

Thompson defeated amateur Luke Clanton, Michael Thorbjornsen, and C.T. Pan in the final round, finishing at 256 under 28 to win his first PGA Tour championship. Three shots behind the three runner-up finishes were Ben Griffin and Carson Young in a shared fifth place finish.

Who won the PGA John Deere Classic in 2023?

Sepp Straka won the 2023 John Deere Classic, marking his second career PGA Tour victory at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois. Of the $7,400,000 purse, Straka took home the $1,332,000 winner's share.

After shooting 21-under 263 in the final round, Straka became victorious. Through 17 holes, he was 11 under par for the round, but on the last hole, he recorded a double-bogey 6 after his second shot found the water.

Nevertheless, he was able to win by two over Brendon Todd and Alex Smalley with the score he submitted, as neither of them could contest the lead. On an 18-under total, Ludvig Aberg and Adam Schenk shared fourth place.
