With the Open coming next week, many of the top PGA players are on sabbaticals in preparation. As a result, many top names are missing on the Golf betting Lines board for this week’s John Deere Classic. TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois is the venue for this week’s event on GOLF and CBS. The Open is one of four major tournaments on the PGA schedule and held in the United Kingdom. Thus, the John Deere Classic is poorly timed to draw the best talent. Still, a capable field will hit the links with the potential for surprises.
