The 2026 John Deere Classic has reached the halfway point, with TPC Deere Run producing the low scores we’ve all come to expect from this event. Lucas Glover is a surprise leader through the first two rounds, as the 2021 John Deere Classic champion is looking to go wire-to-wire. At 14-under-par, he holds a two-stroke lead over Lee Hodges, with seven players within four strokes of his lead.

Next stop, the Quad Cities! The PGA Tour has officially closed the chapter on Signature Events this season, as we make the sharp pivot to Silvis, Illinois, for a less lustrous field at the 2026 John Deere Classic. For the second week in a row, we’ll watch the field take on a short and positional TPC layout that rewards aggressive play off the tee and demands a set of hot wedges and putting to keep pace with the birdie barrage in store.

It’s another birdie-fest week for golf DFS contestants on the PGA Tour, as we head to the Quad Cities for the 2026 John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run. Although birdie-fests have traditionally been the best opportunity to fire away at tour golf sleepers with longer odds, the lack of field depth at the John Deere Classic has historically led to fewer surprises. Just three players over the last 12 years have gone on to win at golf odds longer than 100-1.
