John Deere Classic Golf Betting Tips

After two succesful tipping weeks on the PGA Tour, we came up short at last week's Rocket Classic. But I'm keen to get us back in the green and find you the winner of this week's John Deere Classic.

With all due respect, this week's PGA Tour field is not the strongest, but at the same time that also means there is plenty of value to be found. 

Saying that, I am struggling to get too far away from the top end of the market. 

Each of my three outright picks for the 2025 John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run have been showing some very decent form of late, and I am confident at least one of them will be in the mix come Sunday evening. 

Scroll below to check out my three tips for the John Deere Classic, and head to the bottom of this page to see the full betting odds for all of the players in the field.

As always, please gamble responsibly.

Right, let's give you my three picks...

John Deere Classic: Golf Betting Tips

Outright Win Pick:

Ben Griffin

Best Price Available:

16/1 - Sky Bet

Last 3 starts on PGA Tour:

10 -14 -13

Past results at John Deere Classic:

5 (2024; only previous start) 

Other than Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, there is only one other man that deserves to enter the race for PGA Tour Player of the Year, and it's Ben Griffin.

The American had been knocking on the door for a first win the past two seasons, but he's banged it down for force in 2025 with not one but two wins on the PGA Tour.

Griffin teamed up with Andrew Novak to win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans earlier this season, and then won with his own ball weeks later at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

He then backed it up with an impressive solo second behind Scheffler at the Memorial Tournament, and he has since continued to show solid form with three consecutive top-15 finishes.

Griffin could be excused for taking a break having played eight of the last nine weeks on Tour, but he's ready to keep his foot on the gas at the John Deere Classic this week.

The World No.17 knows his game is in good order, and he is without doubt the class horse in the race at TPC Deere Run. 

He's only played in this event once, but he showed a real liking for the course with a T5 and that only adds to his appeal. 

Griffin is available at best odds of 16/1 and that to me looks very fair in what is a weak field without any of the world's top 10 to bother him. 

A third win of the season looks a distinct possibility for a man who looks assured of a debut US Ryder Cup appearance this September.

Outright Win Pick:

Jason Day

Best Price Available:

25/1 - Bet365

Last 3 starts on PGA Tour:

MC - 23 - 4

Past esults at John Deere Classic:

23 (2024; only previous start)

It's about time Jason Day won.

Isn't it? 

Day is winless on the PGA Tour in over two years now but I feel like he's trending for a win.

The former World No.1 performed admirably in his last start at the Travelers Championship with a T4 and he therefore brings good vibes into the John Deere Classic.

I also like the fact he is rested after taking last week off. 

Day will not be fazed by anyone teeing it up this week and deep down he probably thinks he's the best player in here. 

On his day, he most definitely is, and if he turns up with his A-game then I think he will take a world of beating come Sunday. 

Day has only played in the John Deere Classic once and that resulted in a steady T23 finish. 

I'm prepared to take a chance on the 13-time PGA Tour winner here, especially at generous odds of 25/1. 

Outright Win Pick:

Chris Kirk

Best Price Available:

35/1 - Sky Bet

Last 3 starts on PGA Tour:

MC - 12 - 2

Past 3 results at John Deere Classic:

60 - 23 - 21

Chris Kirk looks to be another player turning a corner with his game at the moment. 

Kirk finished a highly respectable T12 at the US Open and then backed it up with an agonising T2 when missing a short four footer to be eliminated from the second extra hole of a playoff at the Rocket Classic on Sunday.

That marked Kirk's first top 10 finish of the season, and while it was a disappointing end for him, he spoke positively to reporters after narrowly missing out on a seventh career PGA Tour title.

"I'm pleased with the state of my game right now," said Kirk, looking to the future. 

Kirk is an extremely underrated player given just how many times he's won on the PGA Tour throughout his career.

The putter has held him back a bit lately but it's starting to warm up.

It will need to remain hot at a typical low-scoring John Deere Classic, and if it does then I think Kirk can go one better than last week.

His last three results at TPC Deere Run don't particularly scream he loves it here, but his last two performances of 23rd and 21st aren't disastrous. 

Kirk at 35/1 looks standout value.
