John Deere Classic 2017: Tee times, TV channel, and livestream for Sunday

The John Deere Classic may not have the richest purse or strongest field or best spot on the schedule. But the annual stop in the Quad Cities region has developed a bit of a cult following both on social media and out in the heartland. The tournament at TPC Deere Run often gives some of the lesser-known players some shine and also hands out exemptions to a few of the top college players, potential future stars getting a start in the big leagues.

There’s also the course, a TPC layout on the Rock River that can put us on #59Watch each year. The JDC may not be the sexiest event on the PGA Tour schedule, but it has a strong identity and often delivers fun Sunday movement each year. This is where Jordan Spieth got his first win and secured a PGA Tour card at the start of what is already a Hall of Fame career. That memorable Sunday hole-out was only three years ago at TPC Deere Run, and we’ve seen what Spieth has accomplished in the intervening time.

This year, we’ve got a few young prospects bidding for a PGA Tour win. Patrick Rodgers, as you’ll hear referenced often on the broadcast, holds the all-time wins record at Stanford with a guy named Tiger Woods. He is a former world No. 1 amateur and Ben Hogan Award winner. He can crush the ball and is a talent who people expect to win on the PGA Tour. This is a great Sunday opportunity and he’ll start with a two-shot lead over Daniel Berger. A win for Rodgers would not only be his first and deliver a bucket of perks, but it would also immediately get him in the field for next week’s British Open. The charter is waiting in Moline, so here’s hoping Rodgers brought his passport.

Berger is the former PGA Tour Rookie of the Year and seems to be in contention every week right now. He won in Memphis for the second straight year and then lost in a playoff to that Spieth guy on another ridiculous hole-out from a bunker. So Berger is a young stud and a lock for Team USA’s Presidents Cup roster and he’ll be chasing Rodgers at the start of Sunday, where low scores and dramatic leaderboard movement are always possible.
