Illinois' only annual PGA event runs July 5-9 at TPC Deere Run in Silvis.
The John Deere Classic, Illinois' only annual PGA Tour event, has never had a staging like the one coming up in two weeks. Professional golf has changed dramatically this year, and so has the JDC.
The uncertainty ended when the JDC and PGA Tour announced a three-year contract extension on June 5. Three-year commitments seem short in tournament golf, but the arrival of the LIV Tour and the developments surrounding it have changed everything. "We'll close our gates at 4 p.m. on those days. Our goal is for tickets to drive people to the golf tournament and have them stay for the concert," Lehman said.
The influx of PGA Tour players may be due in part to the return of a jet. Senior stars: Mike Small, the University of Illinois men's coach, is back in player mode in a big way this week. He was in the field for the Illinois Senior Open, which ends today, at The Preserve at Oak Meadows in Addison, and will compete again in the U.S. Senior Open, which tees off on Thursday at SentryWorld in Wisconsin.
