John Deere Classic

We are proud to be the title sponsor for the John Deere Classic, an event that, in addition to bringing significant tourism dollars to the Quad Cities, has raised more than $49 million for local charities. Despite operating in one of the PGA Tour's smaller markets, the John Deere Classic ranks among the top five on Tour in total charitable contributions.
