John Deere Classic canceled because of coronavirus restrictions
The PGA Tour's revamped summer schedule won't include the John Deere Classic.
Tournament director Clair Peterson confirmed to GolfChannel.com that the event, slated for July 9-12 at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois, will not be played this year.
The tournament was expected to be the fifth Tour event following a three-month hiatus stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic and was penciled in as the first that could have potentially included fans. Instead, the event won't be played at all because of ongoing restrictions in the state of Illinois banning gatherings of more than 50 people, limitations that are expected to remain in place by tournament week.
