The PGA TOUR remains in the Midwest this week as golfers head to Silvis, Illinois for the 2023 John Deere Classic. The tournament will run from Thursday, July 6 through Sunday. July 9 at TPC Deere Run.
J.T. Poston took home the win last year, and will return to defend his title this week. He is joined in the field by up-and-comer Ludvig Aberg, as well as Russell Henley and Cameron Young.
McCarthy is the favorite to win, installed at +1400 at DraftKings Sportsbook, with Young coming in at +1600 and Henley at +1800. Aberg follows at +2200 along with Adam Hadwin, who was in a playoff at the Rocket Mortgage Classic over the weekend. Poston comes in at +3500, as does Emiliano Grillo.
Because there aren’t many big names in this field, this is a good opportunity for a relative unknown or lower-ranked golfer to take home a PGA TOUR victory and earn that coveted two-year exemption.
Here’s a look at the full slate of opening odds for the 2023 John Deere Classic, which tees off Thursday, July 6.
