2024 John Deere Classic prize money payouts for each PGA Tour player

A big pay day for Davis Thompson.

The John Deere Classic has produced more first-time winners than any other PGA Tour event, and this week, that was Davis Thompson.

The 25-year-old won the 2024 John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois, on Sunday for his first win in 63 Tour starts. With that, he earned 500 FedEx Cup points and more importantly took home the biggest check of his career for $1.44 million.

There was a three-way tie for second between Michael Thorbjornsen, C.T. Pan and Luke Clanton. For Thorbjornsen and Pan, they each will take home $712,000. Unfortunately for Clanton, as an amateur, he can’t collect any prize money.

Here’s a closer look at how much each player made at the 2024 John Deere Classic from a purse of $8 million.

Davis Thompson gets first PGA Tour win at 2024 John Deere Classic, earns British Open spot

Thompson earned his first win in record-setting fashion.

[anyclip-media thumbnail=”https://cdn5.anyclip.com/fpqak5ABQZTe_c4–UTg/1720463371343_248x140_thumbnail.jpg” playlistId=”undefined” content=”PHNjcmlwdCBzcmM9Imh0dHBzOi8vcGxheWVyLmFueWNsaXAuY29tL2FueWNsaXAtd2lkZ2V0L2xyZS13aWRnZXQvcHJvZC92MS9zcmMvbHJlLmpzIiBkYXRhLWFyPSIxNjo5IiBkYXRhLXBsaWQ9Im16eWhjeWxsZ3ZhdWV1azJrcnN2Nnl6dWZ1d3ZrdmRoIiBwdWJuYW1lPSIxOTk4IiB3aWRnZXRuYW1lPSIwMDE2TTAwMDAyVTBCMWtRQUZfTTgzMjciPgo8L3NjcmlwdD4=”][/anyclip-media]

The name Davis Thompson is not unfamiliar for those who follow the PGA Tour.

He has been trending in recent weeks, with two runner-up finishes in his past six starts, including last week at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. His worst finish in that stretch, outside of a missed cut at the Canadian Open, was T-27.

And now, Thompson is a PGA Tour winner. He captured the 2024 John Deere Classic on Sunday for his first Tour victory. Thompson blitzed TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois, setting a tournament scoring record of 28-under 256, besting Michael Kim’s 2017 record of 27 under. He won by four shots in his 63rd career start over a group of players at 24 under, including amateur Luke Clanton.

“I got off to a great start today and was able to just kind of cruise on the back nine,” Thompson said. “Yeah, getting off to a good start was crucial, and I was just able to ride the momentum coming in.”

With the win, Thompson also punched his ticket to the 2024 Open Championship at Royal Troon next week. He finished T-9 at the U.S. Open last month.

Thompson earned $1.44 million with the win in addition to 500 FedEx Cup points.

Also in a weird twist, for the third straight year at the John Deere Classic, the winner has stayed at the same house. In 2022, J.T. Poston took home the title while staying at the property. Last year, Sepp Straka was in a group of golfers who rented the house, and he won.

This year, Thompson was in the group who rented the house. And lo and behold, he’s the winner. He even stayed in the same room that Straka did.

“I think I have to pay for the whole house now, which is unfortunate, but I’ll gladly write the check for that,” Thompson said.

Thompson is also the 24th golfer to earn his first career win at the John Deere Classic, which is the most of any event in PGA Tour history.

Clanton, a 20-year-old junior at Florida State, became the first amateur since Billy Joe Patton in the 1950s to finish in the top 10 in back-to-back PGA Tour starts. He birdied his last hole to shoot 8-under 63 on Sunday and finish T-2 alongside C.T. Pan and Michael Thorbjornsen, who was making his third start as a PGA Tour member after earning his card via PGA Tour University.

Patton did it in the 1957 U.S. Open and 1958 Masters. Clanton did it in consecutive weeks, and he’s in the field next week at the ISCO Championship, as well.

For Pan, his finish earned him the second spot up for grabs this week at the 2024 Open Championship.

“It’s going to be a great trip,” Pan said. “Honestly going to be hectic to arrange all the travel details last minute, but it will be a good problem to have and my wife and I will be looking forward to our trip there.”

Amateur Luke Clanton achieved something not done since the 1950s at John Deere Classic

“It’s unreal to make a birdie on the last hole and do all that.”

Luke Clanton is in the midst of the best stretch of golf of his life. On Sunday at the John Deere Classic, he did something not done since the 1950s on the PGA Tour.

Clanton, a rising junior at Florida State, finished tied for second at TPC Deere Run. With the finish, he became the first amateur with top-10 finishes in back-to-back starts on the PGA Tour since Billy Joe Patton in the 1957 U.S. Open and 1958 Masters.

Last week, Clanton placed T-10 at the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club.

“We came into the week with pretty high expectations,” Clanton said. “I think I kind of reached that expectation for sure. Of course you want to win. But again, to do what I did out there today was awesome. It’s just a blessing to be here, man.

“It’s unreal to make a birdie on the last hole and do all that.”

Clanton made the cut at the U.S. Open and now has in consecutive weeks on the PGA Tour. He’s up to nine points in PGA Tour University Accelerated, a program that awards Tour status for college golfers who earn 20 points for achievements in the professional and amateur game.

He gets a point for every made cut on Tour in addition to another point for top-10 finishes. That’s four in two weeks.

Clanton is third in the World Amateur Golf Ranking and finished the college season as the highest-ranked player in the NCAA Golf rankings. He helped Florida State to a national runner-up finish.

John Deere Classic 2024 Sunday final round tee times, how to watch PGA Tour coverage

TPC Deere Run takes centerstage in the golf world for the July 4th holiday week.

Davis Thompson holds a two-shot lead at 21 under over Eric Cole and Aaron Rai after 54 holes of the 2024 John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois. Thompson and Rai both finished second to Cam Davis last week at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

Hayden Springer and C.T. Pan sit at 17 under and in a tie for fourth, four shots back of the lead.

TPC Deere Run, a par 71 that will play 7,289 yards this week, was designed by D.A. Weibring and Chris Gay. It opened in 2000.

This week’s winner will go home with $1.44 million of the $8 million purse and 500 FedEx Cup points.

Here’s everything you need to know for the final round of the John Deere Classic. All times listed are ET.

Jordan Spieth said TPC Deere Run can be ‘one of the easiest ones we play,’ then went out and fired a 63

There’s a soft spot in Jordan Spieth’s heart for TPC Deere Run, the site of his first PGA Tour win.

There’s certainly a soft spot in Jordan Spieth’s heart for TPC Deere Run, the site of the Texan’s first PGA Tour win back in 2013. Two years later, Spieth won a second John Deere Classic.

And with that track record of success in Silvis, Illinois, it’s not surprising Spieth would consider the course one for the taking, a thought he backed up after shooting a 67 on Friday.

“It’s one of the probably bottom-half easier golf courses. It’s a great golf course. When it’s soft it’s one of the easiest ones we play,” Spieth said after his second round. “Yeah, I can make a move, but everyone is going to make a move. So I will try and beat the field average by four or five shots, but that is going to take shooting 8- or 9-under.

“So it’s not like it’s a walk in the park. You still have to hit nice shots.”

During Saturday’s third round, Spieth did exactly what he said he’d need to do, using a white-hot front nine to fire a 63 and get back into the tournament after 54 holes. Spieth sits at 14 under and while he’s not at the top of the leaderboard, he can see it from where he’s sitting. It marked his best round of the 2024 PGA Tour season.

After a birdie on the par-5 second, Spieth made five consecutive birdies on Nos. 4-8 and made the turn with a 6-under 29. Thanks to two more circles on 10 and 12, Spieth was officially put on 59 watch. But, a bogey on the 13th halted his momentum and he’d go on to play his final five holes at 1 under to cement his 8-under 63.

“I would like to just improve on my back nine score tomorrow from today’s,” Spieth told the media after signing his card. “You know, so that’s certainly something as I make the turn regardless what I do on the front I’ll be sitting there going, man, I want to shoot the 4-under I felt like I should have shot yesterday.”

His previous nine starts coming into this week have been a struggle. Spieth missed three cuts and finished inside the top 40 just three times. But, he’s always loved links golf and he heads across the pond after the John Deere for the Scottish Open and The Open. If he’s found something in his game, he might be a good bet at The Renaissance Club and Royal Liverpool.

The charge pushed him up 46 spots and for a brief spell into a tie for the lead before the bogey on 13. When asked about having a lull on the back nine, Spieth insisted it was just a two-hole stretch.

“So really the lull was just those two holes, right? If I par there and birdie 14 from the position I was in I shoot 32 on the back and a 61. So anything is probably going to be a lull from a 29,” he said. “It was just those two that I wish I played over, but 14 just — both have to do with how soft the greens are. They made the shots somehow harder because the greens are softer from where I was.

“It’s a great golf course. The only downfall sometimes here is sometimes you hit some nice shots that just — someone can hit from a harder position and is end up being in a better spot. That’s golf. That kind of happens everywhere.”

This NFL running back joked about giving ‘Sepp Straka and Greyson Sigg a few pointers’ at pro-am

“Road to my Korn Ferry card coming soon,” he joked.

AJ Dillon might be on a summer break from football but the competitions haven’t stopped.

They just extended beyond the football field lately.

A couple weeks after the Packers’ gregarious player competed in a celebrity cornhole tournament through the American Cornhole League with teammate Carrington Valentine, Dillon entered another sports arena.

He was on the golf course.

Dillon teamed with three others and was joined in an 18-hole round by pros Sepp Straka and Greyson Sigg for nine holes apiece.

“Such an unbelievable experience at the John Deere Classic,” Dillon noted on Instagram while featuring a video of his day.

Dillon had a good laugh when he wrote in the post that “it was awesome to be able to give Sepp Straka and Greyson Sigg a few pointers on how to play well at this course.”

“I can’t wait until next year,” Dillon added.

We should have seen this coming for Dillon.

He recently played at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wisconsin, a course that has hosted multiple major championships and the Ryder Cup over the last two decades.

Football and life off it have worked out pretty well for Dillon, but now he has some connections in the golf world to his ever-growing portfolio.

“Road to my Korn Ferry card coming soon,” Dillon joked again, referencing the U.S.-based developmental tour.

Dillon will turn in his golf clubs for his football pads when the Packers training camp begins July 22. That means he still has a couple weeks to take that vacation that teammate Keisean Nixon told him to take after watching a video of Dillon running the stairs inside an empty Lambeau Field last month.

Dillon, drafted by the Packers in 2020, re-signed with the team this offseason.

A year after driving all night to play a mini-tour event, Eric Cole is hot again at the 2024 John Deere Classic

It wasn’t too long ago that a $20,000 payday would have kept Eric Cole’s golf dreams alive.

It wasn’t long ago that a $20,000 payday was the kind that kept Eric Cole’s dreams of playing professional golf alive.

Now, the reigning PGA Tour Rookie of the Year has a little different comfort level when it comes to his finances. After posting seven top-10 finishes this season, Cole has already made over $2 million in 2024 and he’s currently near the top 50 in the FedEx Cup standings, meaning the prospect of more big paychecks is well within range.

And after firing a 62 in the opening round of the John Deere Classic on Thursday, Cole followed with a workmanlike 68 on Friday, staying just behind leaders C.T. Pan and Aaron Rai after the early wave. He’s 12 under through 36 holes.

But a year ago at this time, while in the throes of his rookie year on Tour, Cole drove through the night, after playing 10 straight weeks, to play in a mini-tour event that had once kept him afloat. The final Frank B. Fuhrer Jr. Invitational was held in 2023 after the tournament’s namesake died.

Cole, who won the event in 2014 at a time when he had to put tournament entry fees on a credit card, never forgot how important the event was in his development. A year ago, he drove nearly eight hours after playing the Travelers Championship to Pittsburgh Field Club in Western Pennsylvania.

“That one was really impactful for me in continuing my dream of playing the PGA Tour,” he said on Friday. “I thought it was really important to be there, and it had a huge impact on me continuing my dream of playing the PGA Tour. With it being the last edition it felt like the right thing to do and an important spot to be.”

It’s that kind of mentality that’s helped Cole remain grounded through any hiccups he’s had on Tour. After a stretch of three straight missed cuts in late May and early June, Cole rebounded by making the weekend at both the Memorial and this year’s Travelers, and then finished sixth last week at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit.

“I feel unbelievably lucky to be out here on Tour. I think that’s probably why I play as much as I do. So it’s just a great spot to be playing, and I like I said, I’m very fortunate and lucky to be out here, so I try and play as much as I can,” he said. “I don’t think about it too much. I’m definitely, like I said, very thankful. I’ve played golf in a lot of places and taken a long road to be here, so happy to be here.”

Last year was his breakout year, one in which he turned 35. He played 37 events with seven top 10s, including two seconds. One of those was the Honda Classic (now Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches) where he lost a playoff to Chris Kirk.

All of that resulted in Cole capturing the Tour’s Rookie of the Year, 50 years after his mom, Laura Baugh, won the same award on the LPGA Tour. He was the second-oldest player to be named top rookie behind Todd Hamilton, who was 39 when he won in 2004. The Rookie of the Year Award was established in 1990.

On Friday, he stayed steady, even holing out from the bunker on his penultimate hole for an unconventional birdie.

Cole knows this next stretch is pivotal — a big run in the Quad Cities could put him in good position for the FedEx Cup Playoffs, and set up 2025 to potentially get into signature events next season.

But a year after he drove through the night to play a mini-tour event (which he won and then donated the $20,000 winnings back to the family for charitable causes), Cole is still aware that he’s been one of the lucky ones, and he hopes his story can be an inspiration for those with whom he played on smaller tours for years.

“I’m still friends with a lot of guys that play mini-tours. I check on their scores all the time and see how they’re doing. Hopefully, they see how I’m doing and realize that it’s not that big of a difference between what they’re doing and what I’m doing now,” he said. “Hopefully, it’s kind of like maybe some light at the end of the tunnel or something to where they’re not that far from being out here and competing on the PGA Tour.

“Playing mini-tour golf and maybe some bad golf in there teaches you a lot of things about yourself and everything like that. So it’s taught me a lot. Everything I am today is probably because of a lot of those experiences.”

4th of July fireworks: Hayden Springer shoots 59 to grab the lead at John Deere Classic

“It’s like something you dream of, right?”

The fireworks started early for Hayden Springer on the 4th of July.

The PGA Tour rookie shot 27 on the front nine, pitched in for eagle at 17 and made birdie at the last to shoot 59 at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois, in the first round of the John Deere Classic. He became the first player in Tour history to play his final two holes in 3-under par en route to a sub-60, the second player in three weeks to shoot 59 on Tour and the 13th different player to shoot a sub-60 round in Tour history.

“It’s like something you dream of, right?” Springer said, noting he was still shaking during his post-round interview. “We all want to go out and shoot 59. You don’t ever really — I don’t know how many chances I’ll ever get at doing that again.To pull it off and hole that shot on 17 and give myself a putt at it and make the putt on 18 was pretty special.”

Springer, 28, shot two strokes better than Sami Valimaki, who finished with a trio of birdies, and three better than Harry Hall, who shot a bogey-free 63. Preferred lies were in effect on Thursday due to wet conditions at TPC Deere Run and conditions were ideal for low scoring at a course that has a reputation for being a birdie-fest.

Springer went out in 27 on the front nine, including a stretch where he made a 13-foot eagle at the second and four straight birdies.

“It just seemed like I made every putt I looked at on the front nine,” said Springer, who took just 21 putts in all and holed 112 feet, 6 inches of putts.

When his 20-foot birdie putt from the fringe dropped at No. 6, he said he started to think this had the makings of a special round.

“That putt going in was kind of the trigger of, OK, like we might be able to go super low,” he said.

But Springer, who added birdies at Nos. 8 and 9 to post the lowest front nine in tournament history at TPC Deere Run, cooled off with pars on the first five holes on the back nine, including having to work hard to do so on Nos. 12 and 14 to keep his card clean. He tacked on another birdie at 15, but it was the hole out from 55 yards in the left rough at 17 for his second eagle of the day that got the juices flowing for Springer.

“It landed right where we were looking, just short left, and happened to go in,” he said. “I didn’t ever think I would make that shot really, but it kind of changed the momentum to actually be able to go shoot 59. I immediately knew, OK, now I have a chance.”

He stuck his approach at 18 to 13 feet and poured in the putt to post 12-under 59 and join an exclusive club — though its membership has been growing. Cameron Young shot 59 in the third round of the Travelers Championship two weeks ago and 11 of the 59s or better have come since 2010. Springer merely tied the course record because 5,110 days ago Paul Goydos shot 59 at TPC Deere Run in the first round of the 2010 John Deere Classic. TPC Deere Run became the third course to surrender to sub-60s, joining TPC River Highlands (Jim Furyk’s 58 and Young’s 59) and The Old White TPC (Stuart Appleby and Kevin Chappell).

In November, Springer and his wife endured the death of their three-year-old daughter, Sage, to a rare genetic disorder. In the midst of grieving, Springer earned the last of five cards available at PGA Tour Q-School to make it to the big leagues for the first time. His rookie season has had its pitfalls. Springer had missed six straight cuts before finishing T-10 last week at the Rocket Mortgage Classic and entered the week ranked No. 127 in the FedEx Cup point standings. Asked to name what’s been the difference in his game of late, he credited Rosey Bartlett, who has coached him since he was six years old at his home club, Trophy Club Country Club, near Dallas.

“I took a little break from her for a couple years and then before last week, these last six tournaments missing those cuts I felt like I needed to get something going,” he said, noting it was mostly related to his setup. “She straightened me out a little bit and helped me get back to some feels that worked in the past. You know, so that’s made a little bit of a difference.”
