The John Deere Classic, a longstanding PGA Tour event since the early 1970s, kicks off on the Fourth of July at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois. This course, known for its bentgrass fairways and greens, plays to 7,289 yards and a Par 71, often resulting in low scores and thrilling competition. Despite not attracting the top-tier players due to the impending Open Championship in Scotland, this year’s tournament features seven of the top-40 players in the world rankings. Leading the field is Sungjae Im, who, despite being the favorite with three top-10 finishes in his last four starts, hasn’t played at TPC Deere Run since 2021 and has a best finish of T26 in two appearances.
Here are Win Daily Experts’ picks for this week’s tourney.
