John Deere Classic 2025 — Schedule, Tickets, and Purse

John Deere Classic 2025 is a PGA Tour event held every July at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois. It’s a key event on the FedExCup Regular Season schedule with a big purse and ranking points. The event started in 1971 as the Quad Cities Open and grew into a PGA Tour event. In 1998, John Deere & Company became the title sponsor and the tournament has grown professionally and commercially since. Jordan Spieth won his first PGA Tour event here in 2013. Steve Stricker won three in a row (2009-2011) and secured his legacy as one of the greatest champions. With elite-level competition and Midwestern hospitality, the John Deere Classic is one of the most fun tournaments on tour.

John Deere Classic 2025 Location

The John Deere Classic 2025 will take place at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois. This location is between East Moline and Silvis along the Rock River. With the perfect combination of natural beauty and easy accessibility, the course has ravines, wooded areas, and the winding Rock River. TPC Deere Run is built on a former Arabian horse farm and still has much of the natural landscape. Hole 16 – Par 3 is the signature hole of the tournament right along the Rock River. Players tee off over water, so it’s as pretty as it is tough. 18 – Par 4 is the last hole of the field.

Silvis in July is hot, humid, and sometimes rainy. Wear a moisture-wicking polos to keep you cool and dry by absorbing sweat. Pair it with lightweight golf shorts or stretchable trousers that are comfortable and heat-friendly. Spikeless or waterproof golf shoes with good grip are perfect as the course is slightly hilly and uneven. Since it might rain, a packable rain jacket is a good idea. And if you’re going into VIP areas, make sure to follow a smart-casual dress code.
