2025 John Deere Classic PGA Online Betting
The John Deere Classic used to have the unenviable position of being in a bad spot on the PGA Tour schedule, as it took place the week before the Open Championship, but it now takes place two weeks before the Open, although it doesn’t help that much. Many of the top players in the world bypass this event, as they don’t want to play this tournament and then fly across the globe for the Open, but at least with two weeks in between the two events, at least a few top players will be in the field. Some of the marquee players in this year’s event are Jason Day, Sungjae Im, Lucas Glover and Denny McCarthy. The title sponsor of this event is John Deere, and they renewed their sponsorship through the 2026 tournament.
Catch all of the action at the John Deere Classic from Thursday, July 3 through Sunday, July 6.

2025 John Deere Classic at a Glance

Tournament Record: -28 (Davis Thompson, 2024)
TPC Deere Run is located in the community of Silvis, Illinois which is part of the Quad Cities. This event first started in 1971 as the Quad Cities Open and it became an official PGA Tour event in 1972. It was held at its current home at TPC Deere Run in 2000. The event has had some interesting moments, as in 2005 and 2006 it offered a sponsor’s exemption to Michelle Wie and in 2013 it featured Jordan Spieth winning as a teenager.
TPC Deere Run is a normal PGA Tour course which means most players are not going to play this event because the Open Championship in a couple of weeks is a links course. It doesn’t help that players have to travel over six time zones to play in both events. TPC Deere Run is located along the Rock River and was designed by D.A. Weibring Golf Resources. Weibring is an Illinois native and he used the natural contours to make a challenging course. “It has all the things I think you’d like to have in a golf course,” said Weibring. “There are elevation changes, great views and scenery, hardwood trees. You have the Rock River complemented with small ponds and deep ravines… and best of all, there’s no real estate. What’s more, the natural features of the former Arabian horse farm high above the Rock River Valley have not been compromised.”
