Before the world's best head over to Scotland and Northern Ireland for a busy two-week stretch of golf, there's the matter of the John Deere Classic.
Taking place at TPC Deere Run, the event features some big names, as well as an $8.4 million tournament purse, a $400,000 increase over 2024.
Last year, Davis Thompson secured his first PGA Tour title via a dominant four stroke victory, setting a 28-under-par tournament record in the process in Illinois.
Pocketing the $1,440,000 first prize, this year's winner will bag himself $1,512,000, an increase of $72,000. What's more, the champion will also secure the usual 500 FedEx Cup points, which goes towards the FedEx Cup standings.

Which Big Names Are Playing In The John Deere Classic?
Along with defending champion, Thompson, Major winner Jason Day is the biggest name in the field, with last week's Rocket Classic winner, Aldrich Potgieter, present after his maiden PGA Tour victory.
Rickie Fowler and last year's John Deere Classic runner-up, Luke Clanton, is also among the big names, while Major winner Lucas Glover is also in the field.
Max Homa, who is looking to re-find some form, makes his first appearance at the John Deere Classic for five years, with Sungjae Im and Si Woo Kim some of the other standout names.
Where Is The John Deere Classic Being Held?
Since 2000, the John Deere Classic has been held at TPC Deere Run, which is one of the many TPC courses around the United States.
A par 71, the course measures 7,289 yards and is one of the few venues to have yielded a score of 59. The magic number came from Paul Goydos in the opening round of the tournament in 2010, with Hayden Springer matching the feat in 2024.
