The PGA Tour visits TPC Deere Run this week for the John Deere Classic. In 2021, they’re celebrating the 50th anniversary of the event.
The 2020 edition was canceled due to COVID. The field this week is highlighted by Brian Harman and Daniel Berger, the eighth- and ninth-ranked golfers, respectively, in the Golfweek/Sagarin rankings. Also, Dylan Frittelli is back as the reigning champion of the John Deere Classic from 2019.
TPC Deere Run was designed by longtime PGA Tour pro D.A. Weibring and opened in 2000. The layout ranks No. 2 in Illinois on Golfweek’s Best Courses You Can Play list for public-access layouts. The course was built on a 385-acre site that has been home to Native American settlements, farming, mining and most recently a horse and cattle breeding program.
