John Deere Classic 2026: Future stars Brown, Koivun vie for first Tour win

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.

Perhaps most notable is the pro debut of two-time Haskins winner Jackson Koivun, fresh off a T-23 finish at the 126th U.S. Open at Shinnecock. Koivun leads a pack of young superstars, all vying for their first win on Tour. Those names include Blades Brown, Luke Clanton, and Preston Stout.

The only two top-20 ranked players in the John Deere field are Chris Gotterup and Ben Griffin. Here’s a look at the 144-player field, including alternates:

John Deere is the PGA TOUR’s second-longest running title sponsor (1998), behind only AT&T (1986/AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am).
