The PGA Tour heads to TPC Deere Run in the midwest to celebrate Independence Day as players hope to cap a weekend of celebrations with victory at the 2026 John Deere Classic.

After the US Open and a couple of Signature Events in June, some of the world's elite are taking a rest this week as the build-up to the Open Championship starts, but there's still a decent field gathering in Illinois for the $8.8m PGA Tour event.

Headlining is Jordan Spieth who has a strong affinity with the event as a two-time champion at the John Deere Classic.

Spieth is joined by the likes of former Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley, along with Rickie Fowler, Max Homa and recent winner JT Poston all hoping to celebrate the Fourth of July weekend with a trophy.

Ben Griffin, Chris Gotterup and Jacob Bridgeman are the other top-25 players in the world teeing it up, while talented college superstar Jackson Koivun will be making his professional debut after turning pro following the US Open.

Brian Campbell is the defending champion and is back to defend the trophy he won last year thanks to a playoff victory over Emiliano Grillo.

The action gets under way on Thursday 2 July at 7:40am Eastern Time (12:40pm BST) at TPC Deere Run, with the same start time on Friday for the second round - with the traditional two-tee start.

Paul Higham is a sports journalist with over 20 years of experience in covering most major sporting events for both Sky Sports and BBC Sport. He is currently freelance and covers the golf majors on the BBC Sport website.  Highlights over the years include covering that epic Monday finish in the Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor and watching Rory McIlroy produce one of the most dominant Major wins at the 2011 US Open at Congressional. He also writes betting previews and still feels strangely proud of backing Danny Willett when he won the Masters in 2016 - Willett also praised his putting stroke during a media event before the Open at Hoylake. Favourite interviews he's conducted have been with McIlroy, Paul McGinley, Thomas Bjorn, Rickie Fowler and the enigma that is Victor Dubuisson. A big fan of watching any golf from any tour, sadly he spends more time writing about golf than playing these days with two young children, and as a big fair weather golfer claims playing in shorts is worth at least five shots. Being from Liverpool he loves the likes of Hoylake, Birkdale and the stretch of tracks along England's Golf Coast, but would say his favourite courses played are Kingsbarns and Portrush.
