The 2023 John Deere Classic concluded on Sunday with Austria's Sepp Straka lifting the trophy. The 30-year-old took his second PGA Tour victory at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois, with an electrifying finish.

Straka closed with the best fourth round of all (-9) to finish with -21 and beat the likes of Brendon Todd and Alex Smalley. His career-low 9-under 62 landed him his first win since the 2022 Honda Classic. He took the winner’s share of $1.3 million from the John Deere Classic's $7.4 million prize purse.

Apart from the paycheck, the Austrian also bagged some valuable OWGR and FedEx Cup points. While the Georgia grad took home the top prize, Todd and Smalley won $658,600 each for finishing T2.

Adam Schenk and Ludvig Aberg shared T4 and bagged $333,000 each. Interestingly, T6 was shared by seven golfers including event favorite Denny McCarthy and defending champion JT Poston. The duo joined Kevin Yu, Cameron Young, Grayson Murray, Lucas Glover and Mark Hubbard on T6 in the John Deere Classic leaderboard.

They all returned home with paychecks of $218,036 each.
