It’s a stacked lineup for Independence Day weekend at Deere Run, with $8.8 million in prize money up for grabs at the 2026 John Deere Classic in Silvis, Illinois.
Last year’s tournament saw Brian Campbell win for the second time in his PGA Tour career. His form in the first playoff round was enough to see off the challenge of Seamus Power.
Traditionally a warm-up for next week’s Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, this year’s event features Ben Griffin, Tom Kim and Keegan Bradley among the pre-tournament favourites. Two-time winner Jordan Spieth will also be in attendance, looking to end a four-year wait for a win on the PGA Tour.

Live stream of the 2026 John Deere Classic in the United States
The main linear television coverage in the United States is broadcast on CBS, which will show the final stages of the tournament. This coverage will also be available to watch via the Paramount Plus streaming service.
Paramount Plus has two main subscription plans in the US: Essential for $9 per month and Premium Plus for $14 per month. They both offer John Deere Classic coverage.
The cheaper basic option has ads for on-demand streaming, but lacks live CBS feeds and the ability to download shows to watch later offline. Students may qualify for a 25% discount.
Live PGA Tour coverage is available all four days, Thursday through Sunday, on ESPN Plus, which will offer recaps of the main events, highlights, highlights and featured hole coverage.
ESPN Plus can be accessed via the network’s ESPN Select or ESPN Unlimited Flow packages. ESPN Select carries ESPN Plus and is the cheapest option at $13 per month.
ESPN’s streaming platforms have been shaken up in recent months. The sports network now offers two tiers with its new direct-to-consumer setup: ESPN Select and ESPN Unlimited. ESPN Select is essentially what ESPN Plus was, with the same content available to subscribers, including PGA Golf, for $13 per month. If you want full access to ESPN’s networks and services, such as ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPNNews, and ESPN Deportes, plus all ESPN Select content, ESPN Unlimited is the perfect solution. It costs $30 per month.
Golf Channel’s coverage of the early stages of the tournament can be streamed on Peacock.
Peacock currently costs $11 per month for the ad-supported Peacock Premium plan and $17 per month for the ad-free Peacock Premium Plus plan.
Four of the major live TV services also offer The Golf Channel.
Hulu with Live TV starts at $90 per month for an ad-supported package that includes the Golf Channel. Click on the “View channels in your area” link on it Welcome page To find out what local channels are available in your zip code.
