John Deere Classic expert picks
The Golfing Gazette experts have made their picks for the John Deere Classic this week.
James Shearman: Keegan Bradley has finally bounced back from the disappointment of the 2025 Ryder Cup with some strong performances. He has finished in the top 20 at the Memorial Tournament and the Travelers Championship recently. Bradley could take advantage of a weaker field in the John Deere Classic this week.
Jordan Harris: Jacob Bridgeman finished tied for fifth at this event in 2025 and will have plenty of confidence following his victory at the Genesis Invitational earlier this year. Bridgeman has been one of the best putters on the PGA Tour this season, which could be crucial at TPC Deere Run.
