The PGA Tour is heading to the beautiful TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois, for the 2026 John Deere Classic. The field will navigate a pristine 7,258-yard, par-71 layout while competing for an impressive total purse of $8.8 million.

Defending champion Brian Campbell is back in the field and looking to replicate his dramatic 2025 victory. Last year, Campbell closed out the tournament with a stellar 4-under 67 to finish at 18-under 266 before ultimately beating out Emiliano Grillo with a clutch par on the first playoff hole.

Campbell will face fierce competition on a course known for historic finishes, joining a prestigious line of recent champions that includes 2024 winner Davis Thompson and 2023 champion Sepp Straka. Both players utilized spectacular weekend surges at TPC Deere Run to jumpstart their careers.

Other top competitors to watch include former major champions Rickie Fowler, Webb Simpson, Lucas Glover and Zach Johnson, as well as Nick Dunlap, Jordan Spieth, Max Homa, Tony Finau, Sungjae Im and Keegan Bradley.

Here’s how to tune into the 2026 John Deere Classic, along with full TV schedules and streaming options for the tournament.
