The 2023 John Deere Classic is the next PGA Tour event on tap. As we start to wind down the regular season schedule, with only one major left ahead of the FedExCup playoffs starting in August, players are scrambling to either hold their current FedExCup ranking or improve it, as the number of golfers who qualify has been reduced to 70, making it much stricter than previous years.
TPC Deere Run is the par 71 course that the field will be competing at ahead of Thursday’s opening round. Located in Silvis, Illinois, along the Mississippi River between the borders of Iowa and Illinois, this course should continue to cede low scores and plenty of red scorecards, just like we saw during the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club last weekend. The difference is how the course is designed, with much more elevation change compared to Detroit Golf Cub, plus a doglegged fairway on almost every par 4 and par 5 hole.
