This lineup is the best we’ve seen in more than a decade. So grab your popcorn and get ready to witness a tournament that’s bound to be more exciting than a hole-in-one celebration.

Russell Henley and Denny McCarthy, ranked No. 29 and 34 in the world, have decided to join the tournament and instantly are the favorites, with +1400. It seems they’re ready to show off their skills and make the competition green with envy!

The British Open looms on the horizon, beckoning the top players to rest their weary clubs and skip the John Deere Classic. After all, they must preserve their strength for next week’s transatlantic journey to the Genesis Scottish Open. It’s a strategic game of rest and preparation.

What are the tee times for round 1 of the John Deere Classic?

Get ready for some early morning swings and witty banter as Troy Merritt, Jonas Blixt, and Henrik Norlander grace the first tee at a delightful 7:45 am. It’s like a symphony of golfing talent, with each player hoping to hit a hole-in-one and steal the show. Let the games begin! Prepare yourselves for the delightful trio of Cody Gribble, Brian Stuard, and Kevin Yu, who will gracefully take the stage at 7:56 am.

The dashing Russell Henley, the event’s ultimate favorite, will elegantly grace the course at the delightful hour of 8:29 am. The talented Taylor Moore and the ever-charming Chris Kirk are joining him in this grand spectacle. Meanwhile, the defending champion, the one and only JT Poston, will embark on his quest for glory at 1:43 pm. Lucas Glover and the enigmatic Michael Kim accompany him on this thrilling adventure.
