- The 2026 John Deere Classic tees off Thursday at TPC Deere Run, with Ben Griffin (+1500) and Chris Gotterup (+1600) listed as the favorites and no one else shorter than +2200.
- Jordan Spieth, a two-time winner of the event, has posted top-10 finishes in three of his last four trips to TPC Deere Run; another top-10 returns +260 as a standalone prop.
- Brian Campbell, ranked 128th in the world, is the defending champion; a top-10 finish for him pays +1150.
- SportsLine's model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has nailed 17 majors entering the weekend — including the 2026 Masters — since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020.
- The model simulated the 2026 John Deere Classic 10,000 times and produced a five-pick parlay paying over $30,000 on a $10 wager.
- Rickie Fowler to make the cut (-275) is the one disclosed parlay leg; Fowler made the cut and shot under par in all four rounds last week at the Travelers and ranks 4th in FedEx Cup points and 6th in World Golf Ranking among this week's field.
Why it matters: With most top-ranked golfers skipping the week, the John Deere Classic features a weaker field where a model with a 17-major track record is hunting for value — a $10 bettor following SportsLine's five-leg parlay could turn that into over $30,000 according to the model's 10,000 simulations, though only one leg is actually disclosed in the article.
