Welcome! This is the 47th John Deere Classic, the 18th at TPC Deere Run, and the 20th sponsored by Deere & Company. You hold in your hands the fourth consolidated Record Book for the tournament. The Deere, contested under a rainbow of names, first surviving and now thriving thanks to the perseverance of many dedicated golf lovers in the Quad Cities, has a lively history. The statistical tale is here, in three parts. Part I is a more complete set of records than has previously been assembled, the product of a scoring database of over 6,830 player appearances, plus pouring through newspaper and magazine coverage of the tournament. This expanded 30-page section begins on the following page. Among the improvements this year: • The Open Championship qualifiers via the JDC and their results across the pond (page 10). • Field scoring averages now go back to 1991 (page 15). • Champions have a section of their own, where the 20 first-time winners are spotlighted (pages 21-22). • The top 50 money winners are listed, in conjunction with a ranking of those and other prominent players through top-25 finishes, provided they made at least four starts (pages 23-24). • TPC Deere Run is depicted hole-by-hole in diagrams and text similar to that previously provided in the JDC Media Guide (pages 29-31). Last year’s hole-by-hole scoring averages are also here. Part II details the tournament year-by-year, beginning with its appearance on the Tournament Players Series calendar, the PGA Tour’s original satellite tour – equivalent to today’s Web.com Tour – in 1971. This 46- page section features the correct score in relation to par, money earnings down to the penny, and who advanced from the Monday qualifying round. Part III is the alphabetical player register, an 84-page section updated to include results from 2016. This is the most complete record of the John Deere Classic. It has been assembled to help the writer or broadcaster on deadline find what is needed quickly. We invite your thoughts on corrections and improvements to the Guide, and hope you find it useful.
