The John Deere Classic has produced more first-time winners than any other PGA Tour event, and this week, that was Davis Thompson.
The 25-year-old won the 2024 John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois, on Sunday for his first win in 63 Tour starts. With that, he earned 500 FedEx Cup points and more importantly took home the biggest check of his career for $1.44 million.
There was a three-way tie for second between Michael Thorbjornsen, C.T. Pan and Luke Clanton. For Thorbjornsen and Pan, they each will take home $712,000. Unfortunately for Clanton, as an amateur, he can’t collect any prize money.
Here’s a closer look at how much each player made at the 2024 John Deere Classic from a purse of $8 million.
