The PGA Tour returns to the Quad Cities this week with the 50th John Deere Classic. Last year’s tournament was canceled due to COVID so Dylan Frittelli has spent the past two years as defending champion. Frittelli’s best finish this season was a tie for fifth at the Masters. He will need a low score this week to defend his title, He says the TPC at Deere Run forces you to make birdies.

Tournament director Clair Peterson says about 15 thousand fans will be allowed each day but interaction with the players will be limited.
