The PGA Tour heads to TPC Deere Run in the midwest to celebrate Independence Day as players hope to cap a weekend of celebrations with victory at the 2026 John Deere Classic.
After the US Open and a couple of Signature Events in June, some of the world's elite are taking a rest this week as the build-up to the Open Championship starts, but there's still a decent field gathering in Illinois for the $8.8m PGA Tour event.
Headlining is Jordan Spieth who has a strong affinity with the event as a two-time champion at the John Deere Classic.
Spieth is joined by the likes of former Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley, along with Rickie Fowler, Max Homa and recent winner JT Poston all hoping to celebrate the Fourth of July weekend with a trophy.
Ben Griffin, Chris Gotterup and Jacob Bridgeman are the other top-25 players in the world teeing it up, while talented college superstar Jackson Koivun will be making his professional debut after turning pro following the US Open.
Brian Campbell is the defending champion and is back to defend the trophy he won last year thanks to a playoff victory over Emiliano Grillo.
The action gets under way on Thursday 2 July at 7:40am Eastern Time (12:40pm BST) at TPC Deere Run, with the same start time on Friday for the second round - with the traditional two-tee start.
