The PGA Tour opens this weekend in the Quad Cities with the annual Fourth of July John Deere Classic, with Brian Campbell as the defending champion.
Similar to last week’s host course, TPC River Highlands, TPC Deer Run will give players plenty of scoring chances, and there’s a good chance someone will make another run in the sub-60 round. While Deere doesn’t have the game’s elite stars on the field, there are still some notable names. The most intriguing player in this area is Jackson Koibun. He will be making his professional debut after ending his stellar amateur career by tying for the Raw Am title at the US Open two weeks ago.
In addition to Koibun’s pro debut, Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, Max Homa and Chris Gotterup will all also make the trip to the Quad-Cities to try to find some form for the end of the 2026 season. To win the Leaping Deer trophy, someone must make a string of birdies to conquer the Deer Run field.
