The John Deere Classic gets ready to host a slew of past winners at TPC Deere Run over the Fourth of July holiday weekend when the PGA Tour heads to Silvis, Illinois.

Two-time Deere champ Jordan Spieth headlines the field, while others like J.T. Poston, Lucas Glover and Davis Thompson are looking to get back into the winner’s circle. Brian Campbell edged Emiliano Grillo in a playoff in last year’s tournament, and both are returning to the 2026 field.
