John Deere Classic: Brian Campbell wins second PGA Tour title after defeating Emiliano Grillo in playoff

John Deere Classic Final Leaderboard: Brian Campbell captures a second PGA Tour title of the season following playoff victory over Emiliano Grillo at TPC Deere Run.

Brian Campbell won his second title of the 2025 PGA Tour season with playoff victory over Emiliano Grillo at the John Deere Classic. 

Both Campbell and Grillo carded rounds of 67 to finish the week at 18-under par at TPC Deere Run in Illinois. 

But it was Campbell, 32, who sealed the deal with a par on the first extra hole, the par-4 18th, after Grillo made bogey. 

The victory marks the second of Campbell's season having won the Mexico Open also in a playoff back in February. 

Campbell becomes the sixth multiple winner on the PGA Tour this season, joining Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Sepp Straka, Ben Griffin and Ryan Fox. 

He earns a cool $1.5m for winning the John Deere Classic.

Campbell also nudges himself up to 28th in the season-long FedEx Cup standings, and jumps from 115th to a career-best 55th in the Official World Golf Rankings. 

David Lipsky eagled the par-5 17th to pull level with Campbell and Grillo in regulation play, but he would fall out of the lead when making bogey on the par-4 18th. 

Lipsky ended the week on 17-under par in a tie for third alongside Kevin Roy.

Max Homa had moved into a two-shot lead in the early stages of the final round, but he played the final 14 holes in 1-over par to end up in a logjam tie for fifth, which marked his best finish of the season.

Overnight leader Davis Thompson endured a final day to forget with a round of 1-over 72, which was the worst score in the top 30, and he ended up in a tie for 18th on 14-under par.
