John Deere Classic Top 10 Power Rankings

The John Deere Classic isn’t the biggest draw on the PGA Tour, but we’ll still see plenty of familiar faces this week.

The John Deere Classic just can’t catch a break. Normally held the week before The Open Championship, the tournament has historically struggled to attract marquee names — most PGA Tour members want more than three days to adjust to the new time zone.

You might think that the Deere’s slot on the 2016 schedule would lead to a better field, but it just wasn’t to be. Many top players will be competing in the Olympics; others are still recovering from the congested major season and saving their energy for the FedEx Cup playoffs. Either way, we won’t see a single top 10 player at TPC Deere Run this week.

Nevertheless, we should be in for a week of compelling golf. The folks at John Deere always put on a first-rate tournament, and they’ve crowned some quality champions in the last five years, including Steve Stricker, Zach Johnson and Jordan Spieth.

Will we see another big-time player rise to the top of a weak field at the John Deere Classic? Without further ado, let’s take a look at the early frontrunners. Here are the best bets for success this week.
