Golf Course Preview for the John Deere Classic – TPC Deere Run
This week on the PGA Tour is a terrific course in TPC Deere Run in Illinois. It is one of the classic courses in the Quad Cities area, and was designed by the famous D.A. Weibring. There are plenty of elevation changes, ponds, sand traps, and a ton of trees that make for a challenging yet beautiful round.

Odds to win the John Deere Classic 2021
In sports betting, there is nothing that is more important than getting the best lines. While it seems trivial, it is of the utmost importance when it comes to betting on golf. With the most popular market being outright winners, the prices for winning tickets are almost always +800 or more even for the betting favorites. Most often, the prices come from mid-tier picks or longshots in the 25/1 or higher range. This makes for an awesome return on winning tickets, but maximizing prices and odds is key. For example, if you wager on Jon Rahm at +1100 to win an event but he is +1400 at another sportsbook, you missed out on an additional return of over 25%. Each week, we provide you with the opening and current odds at various legal sportsbooks to help you make the best betting choices for prices.
