TPC Deere Run will be the setting for this week’s PGA Tour event as the field heads to Silvis, Illinois, for the John Deere Classic. Defending champion Brian Campbell defeated Emiliano Grillo in a playoff for the crown last season. Campbell looks to be the first back-to-back winner of the John Deere Classic since Steve Stricker won three in a row from 2009 to 2011.
Jackson Koivun will make his professional debut this week. The Chapel Hill, North Carolina, native capped his collegiate career by leading Auburn to its second NCAA title in three years. Koivun, who finished tied for 23rd at the 2026 U.S. Open, placed 11th along with six others at the John Deere Classic a year ago.
A total purse of $8.8 million will be on the line at TPC Deere Run, including $1.584 million for the winner.
