The 2024 John Deere Classic is set to deliver an exciting week of golf at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois, from July 4-7. As one of the key stops on the PGA Tour, this year’s tournament boasts a stellar field featuring several top-ranked players and past champions.
Top players at the John Deere Classic
Patrick Cantlay* (World No. 8): Cantlay’s consistent performance was set to make him a strong contender, with plenty wanting to keep an eye on his precision and putting skills. However, he withdrew after suffering an unspecified injury while training for the event.
Sepp Straka (World No. 24, defending champion): Straka returns to defend his title as the new highest-ranked player after Cantlay’s withdrawal. His familiarity with the course could give him an edge.
Jason Day (World No. 27): Day’s experience and powerful drives make him a fan favorite. Watch for his strategic play around the greens.
Jordan Spieth (World No. 29): Spieth’s resurgence has golf enthusiasts buzzing. His creativity and short game prowess are worth noting.
