Overview
- The 2026 John Deere Classic tees off Thursday, July 2 at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois, using a 144‑player field with a cut to the top 65 and ties.
- The tournament carries an $8.8 million purse with a $1.584 million winner’s share and a published payout table that shows the top finishers’ earnings.
- FanDuel lists Ben Griffin and Chris Gotterup as co‑favorites at +1500, while the field also includes notable names such as Jacob Bridgeman, J.T. Poston, Keegan Bradley and Jordan Spieth.
- SportsLine’s model ran 10,000 simulations and surprisingly projects Griffin to underperform the top five while elevating longer shots like Pierceson Coody as contenders, a result likely to affect pre‑event wagers.
- Broadcasters have posted full TV and streaming windows across Golf Channel, ESPN+, CBS and Sirius XM, and the PGA Tour is arranging a charter flight after Sunday’s final for players traveling to the Scottish events next week.
