The John Deere Classic sits in an unenviable spot on the PGA Tour calendar for drawing big names, coming two weeks after a signature event and two weeks before the year’s final major.

But that means opportunity for the Tour’s rank-and-file.

Only the top 70 players qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs this year, and the majority of the 156 players teeing it up at TPC Deere Run are outside that cutoff. The John Deere is also the third-to-last full-points event in the U.S. on the schedule. So that means go-time is now for players looking to play deep into August and secure status for 2026.

This event has proven to be a jumping-off point for future major champions, including Jordan Spieth (who got his first Tour win here in 2013), Brian Harman (2014) and Bryson DeChambeau (2017).

Davis Thompson got his first win last year at the Deere, shooting a tournament-record 28 under par. Might there be another first-time winner this year?

Ben Griffin (No. 17), Sungjae Im (No. 25) and Jason Day (No. 28) are the only top-30 players in the world scheduled to compete.
