Golf bettors should take advantage of the John Deere Classic as the next betting opportunity on the PGA Tour, scheduled on Thursday, July 4th, at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois. Golfers will play for a share of the $8,000,000 prize purse for a stacked event, with Sung-Jae Im leading with a moneyline at +1250.
The 2024 John Deere Classic will take place at the TPC Deere Run. It is a Par 71 that covers about 7,260 yards. A handful of golfers back in the field have already claimed victory here, with some winning more than once.
Over the last nine events here (2020 canceled), the average winning score has been -21.22. So look for golfers who can score in high numbers and consistently make birdie putts.
Michael Kim won this event in 2018 with an enormous -27 score and by eight strokes. However, he missed the cut last season. He will be back in the field, along with those with great experience here.
Several repeat players are gearing up for this event from last season, with a good shot at repeat success or building on that experience. Below are a few golfers that you should consider following.
Straka won this event last season with a -21 score by two strokes and finished the final round with a -9 to take over late. He is coming off of a T23 finish at the Travelers Championship, and prior to that, he had a T56 at the U.S. Open.
While he could have a better momentum, he deserves a look for this event. With prior experience performing well here and the potential to lend plenty of birdie putts, he has a good shot.
I am coming off a T3 finish at the Travelers Championship and have placed in the top 10 twice over his last three events. Considering his odds, he has the best momentum out of any golfer in the field and is still a good pick. He was behind Patrick Cantlay in odds until Cantlay withdrew due to an injury.
MyBookie excels at providing the best PGA Tour betting odds, with the latest offering being the John Deere Classic. At the moment, Sung-Jae Im is the favorite in the field.
Based on his odds, J. T. Poston has arguably the best shot to win. He won back here in 2022 with a -21 score and placed T6 in last year's tournament with a -16. He does not have the best momentum with a T55 at the Travelers Championship, but he has excellent potential, given his previous form at this event.
