John Deere Classic 2025: Full TV Schedule, Streaming Details, Tee Times & Prize Money

The PGA Tour returns to Silvis, Illinois for the John Deere Classic 2025, one of the tour’s most exciting summer events. Set against the scenic backdrop of TPC Deere Run, a par-71 course stretching 7,258 yards, the tournament is scheduled just one week before The Open Championship—making it a crucial stop for players chasing form, momentum, and last-minute qualification.

The 2025 edition brings added anticipation, with the prize purse increased to $8.4 million, including a winner’s share of $1.44 million. Fans will remember last year’s stunning performance by Davis Thompson, who ran away with the title at a jaw-dropping 28-under-par. His four-shot victory put him in the record books and set the tone for what is often called one of the most “birdie-friendly” events on the calendar.

This year, the field is deep and competitive. Ben Griffin enters as the betting favorite, priced at +1600, after a stellar start to the season with two PGA Tour victories. Not far behind is Jason Day, the 2015 PGA Champion, aiming to reclaim his winning touch and currently listed at +2200. Other players to watch include Si Woo Kim, Denny McCarthy, and J.T. Poston, all expected to make strong runs.
