John Deere has signed a multi-year contract extension to remain the title sponsor of the PGA Tour’s John Deere Classic, the annual stop in the Quad Cities region along the border of Iowa and Illinois.

Officials from the PGA Tour, Deere & Company and the Quad Cities Golf Classic Charitable Foundation announced the extension through 2026 on Monday at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Ill.

“The John Deere Classic is a signature example of one of the PGA TOUR’s most engaged communities coming together to achieve great things,” PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said. “As title sponsor, John Deere has gone above and beyond to help create an outstanding experience for our players and golf fans, while making a lasting impact with local nonprofits.”

John Deere is one of the PGA Tour’s longest-running title sponsors, dating back to 1998.

J.T. Poston is the defending champion at the John Deere Classic, which takes place this year from July 6-9.
