  • Q-Link on Major Golf Tours
    Q-LINK ON MAJOR GOLF TOURS The Q-Link pendant is currently worn by more than 300 touring professional golfers on the four major golf tours (PGA, Champions, LPGA, and European). It was worn by players during victories in more than 10 major golf championships. It was worn by the members of the European Ryder Cup team when it beat the U.S. in 2002. It was worn when the decades old PGA 72 hole scoring record was broken by Mark Calcavecchia. Congratulations go out to some of the recent tour winners, all of whom wore the Q-Link pendant during their victories: the 2005 Byron Nelson Classic (Ted Purdy) the 2005 U.S. Senior Open Championship (Allen Doyle) the 2005 U.S. Women's Open (Birdie Kim) the 2005 Women's British Open (Jeong Jang) and the 2005 Women's World Match Play Championship (Marisa Baena).

  • John Deere Classic Record Book
    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.
