PGA TOUR

JOHN DEERE CLASSIC

Site: Silvis, Ill.

Course: TPC Deere Run.

Television: Today-Friday, 1-4 p.m. (Golf Ch.); Saturday-Sunday, 10-11:45 a.m. (Golf Ch.); noon-3 p.m. (CBS Sports).

Defending champion: Bryson DeChambeau.

Last week: Kevin Na won A Military Tribute at the Greenbrier. FedEx Cup leader: Dustin Johnson.

Notes: Francesco Molinari is playing the PGA Tour instead of the Scottish Open to fulfill the strength-of-field requirement that he compete at a tournament he hasn’t been to in the last four years. This was his last reasonable option. … Jordan Spieth has not returned to the John Deere Classic since winning in 2015. … One spot to the British Open is available to the leading player from the top five not already exempt. … Joaquin Niemann of Chile has unlimited sponsor exemptions the rest of the season as a special temporary member. This is his ninth start as a pro, and he already has four top 10s and is the equivalent of 100th on the FedEx Cup. He is virtually a lock to secure a full card next year. … Steve Stricker, a three-time winner of the John Deere, is skipping his second PGA Tour Champions major to play on the PGA Tour. … Zach Johnson and Davis Love III are the only major champs in the field. Next week: British Open and Barbasol Championship.
