Golfweek's Q&A with John Deere Classic tournament director Andrew Lehman
SILVIS, Ill. — The John Deere Classic has been a staple of the PGA Tour for decades, and as the festivities roll on with the final round Sunday, Golfweek sat down with JDC tournament director Andrew Lehman at TPC Deere Run for a conversation about this week's event and its future. A: It's been an awesome week here in the Quad Cities. To have the field we have this year, which is our strongest in the Official World Golf Ranking, it's driven a ton of excitement in this community, which I think is awesome. The fact that we've got a leaderboard that excites people and obviously there's concerts happening on Saturday and Sunday, we knew it was going to be a busy weekend. Trying to navigate the tricky part of being over the Fourth of July, especially from a corporate hospitality standpoint, we're doing the best we can in trying to fill this place. The cool thing that we've seen by adding concerts on Saturday and Sunday, now that we have ticket data that we can track, folks that were introduced to golf in 2023 and 2024 are now buying tickets on the other days to come and follow golf outside of the concerts. From a crowd standpoint, from a charity standpoint, from an economic impact standpoint, it's been an unbelievable week. A: I think for John Deere, it shows their continued commitment not only to the PGA Tour, but this community, because we understand that if John Deere were to go away, most likely, this event doesn't exist. The John Deere Classic still remains a staple of what the PGA Tour used to be with small markets. A lot of people ask the question, how do you compete out there when you're going up against signature events? What I think has happened — and we've seen the results of this — these changes that the Tour has made, going from 100 down to 70 for the FedEx Cup Playoffs has worked in our favor. The changes that are coming in 2026, going from 125 card-carrying members to 100, all those things are working in our favor as we talk to players. Ultimately, being late in the schedule — two weeks after the last signature event, two weeks before the Open Championship, and just a handful of weeks before the playoffs — it's been a really big recruiting tool for us when we talk to players and their agents. A: Oh yeah. And how many of those guys have gone on to have complete stardom who got their first win here at the John Deere Classic? It's awesome. The first guy who comes to mind is Jordan Spieth, right? 2013, 19-year-old kid. Comes back here and wins again in 2015 when the entire golf world told him he shouldn't be at the John Deere Classic. You know, I think in our conversations with players and agents, they recognize that it's a launching pad. And there's a decades-long thought process behind the sponsor exemptions to identify the next wave of talent. Luke Clanton would be a great example. He finished tied for second here last year [as an amateur]. Michael Thorbjornsen was a sponsor exemption and tied for second with Luke Clanton last year. So, we're trying to do our part to get young guys their start here. We understand that this golf community loves our sponsor exemptions and we encourage them to get to know them because they're here and they're going to be stars and we recognize that. There's a great mix in this field of young guys, guys who have been on Ryder Cup teams, guys who have won majors. And that's the other thing, right? These guys are making their final push for the Ryder Cup, so we're just trying to do our part and give players a great experience when they're here. Ultimately, we know they'll fall in love with the golf course and the community, and it's our job to get them back here. A: We've been doing it since 2008. For the first 10-plus years, we were taking guys to Open Championship, and now to be able to take guys over to Scotland who can get over there hassle-free — no risk of lost luggage or lost clubs — that's a big recruiting benefit for us. This is the first year where we will be at 100 percent capacity on that plane. To have 35-plus players on that plane, along with their entourages, and get them over there, it's pretty awesome. A: We celebrated Folds of Honor Friday, which was really cool because it was actually on the Fourth of July this year. The Quad Cities has a very rich military presence in this community with the Arsenal Island, so thanks to Lowe's and John Deere, we've got a military pavilion all week. We have over $75,000 worth of tickets in the marketplace for military members to come out here with a guest. Doing some different partnerships with some of the other nonprofits in town, there's a Firecracker Run on the Fourth of July and anybody who registered for that race, they got a free ticket to come out here on Thursday or Friday because we knew the weekend would be so busy. Obviously, having the field we have gets people excited to come out on Thursday and Friday to see the full field. A: We're coming off a record year last year of $15.9 million raised, which is hands down the highest per capita on the PGA Tour. We're operating in one of the smallest markets on the Tour, so to have that kind of support, those are boxes that are being checked with community impact. The title sponsor loves that charity is so high because John Deere is so philanthropic and civic-minded. We will cross $200 million in charitable giving this year, which I think is incredible. This is the 54th year of the John Deere Classic and 99 percent of the $189 million that was raised through 2024 has been raised since John Deere signed on as title sponsor in 1998, so that level of support from them to jump start that program is awesome. We own and operate the Birdies for Charity program. We license it out to a handful of other tournaments across the PGA Tour and the various other tours. But from John Deere's perspective, with their community vision, the fact that we're able to give back 100 percent of every dollar to these charities, plus a guaranteed 5-10 percent match on top of that, in a lot of cases the John Deere Classic is the largest donor for these nonprofits. A: Well, it's turned this event into a true community event. Whether you're a golf fan, a music fan, potentially a fan of both, we feel like we've got something for everybody. As far as PGA Tour events go, I think we're the only one brave enough, or maybe silly enough, to go out and try to do it on the 18th hole at the end of our hospitality run, but what that's done from a visual standpoint on TV, with this hillside pack on Nos. 16, 17 and 18, it looks awesome on TV. John Deere is over the moon because the reaction to the concerts has been so positive. Prior to 2023 [before adding concerts], our radius was always about 2½ hours — Des Moines to Chicago and maybe up to Madison and Milwaukee. What we show now in the ticket data is that radius is closer to 4½ hours now. We're starting to see St. Louis creep into our top 10 ticket-purchasing markets, and [the concerts] have just drawn a ton of excitement. For us, I think we've introduced a bunch of new people to golf who just came for the concerts maybe in year one or year two, and we've turned them into golf fans, so I think that's pretty cool. A: Obviously we want to give a great experience to the players and their families when they're here. Being a summer event, a lot of these guys travel with their entire family. The Big Dig remains a highlight of the PGA Tour schedule in terms of player parties. From a golf tournament perspective, we're always trying to be innovative and come up with new and fresh ideas and try to bring something new to life every year. We want people, from the moment they park their car in the parking lot to the moment they leave and get back to their car, we want it to be a seamless experience and we want them to have a great time. By doing those things and trying to have areas where you're going to have great vantage points and it's not always from a hospitality perspective. Sometimes, if you can get a venue sponsor that's open to the public and you can give a spectator an enhanced experience, we want to make sure we're doing that.

The Most Important Packers: No. 17 — Devonte Wyatt
Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt is hoping for a big season. The Green Bay Packers went 11-6 last season, sweeping the NFC West and the AFC South along the way. Overall, though, no one in the building was happy. The Packers failed to build on their terrific finish to the 2023 campaign, settled for the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoffs, and lost a Wild Card game to eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia. Afterwards, general manager Brian Gutekunst turned up the heat on everybody in the building. 'We need to continue to ramp up our sense of urgency,' Gutekunst said. 'I think it's time we started competing for championships.' Those are fair expectations. The Packers return 20 of 22 starters, and appear to have upgraded the roster via free agency and the draft. With several third and fourth year players trending upward, Green Bay should be poised to make a move. 'I think they're ready,' Gutekunst said. Now, it's time for the Packers to prove their G.M. right. Green Bay's first training camp practice is July 23. Between now and then I will count down the '30 Most Important Packers' heading into the 2025 campaign. At No. 17 is defensive tackle Devonte 17 Devonte Wyatt, DT Last season Wyatt was second on the team in sacks (5.0), quarterback hits (9.0) and tackles for loss (9.0) last season, despite missing three games with an ankle injury. He also had two fumble recoveries. Wyatt had three sacks, five quarterback hits and a fumble recovery in the first four games. Then he missed Weeks 5-7 and never had the same impact after returning on Oct. to date Wyatt was a first round draft pick in 2022 who spent the first three months of his rookie season primarily watching. In fact, after 13 games in 2022, Wyatt had just three pressures, no sacks and no quarterback hits. Wyatt's final four games — in which he had five pressures, 1.5 sacks and three quarterback hits — gave the Packers hope that his potential could eventually lead to production. So Green Bay let starters Dean Lowry and Jarran Reed walk in free agency and increased Wyatt's role. In 2023, Wyatt began proving why he was a first round draft pick, posting 36 tackles (18 solo), 5.5 sacks, six tackles for a loss, 11 quarterback hits and a fumble recovery. Wyatt played 49.7% of the defensive snaps that season, tied for fourth on the team in tackles for loss and ranked fourth on the team in sacks and quarterback hits. The 6-foot-3, 304-pound Wyatt had just one elite season at Georgia. That came in 2021 when Wyatt had 39 tackles, seven tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in 14 starts on a Bulldogs team that won the national championship. Wyatt, who began his career at Hutchinson Community College before transferring to Georgia, then went to the 2022 NFL Combine and ran the 40-yard dash in a blistering 4.77 seconds — one of the fastest times by a defensive lineman. Physical gifts have never been an issue for Wyatt, though. It's the mental side. He scored an 8 on the 50-question Wonderlic test before the 2022 draft, less than half the NFL average of 19. 'That's a big deal. Don't kid yourself,' one NFL scout told me about low Wonderlic scores. 'Now some guys can overcome those scores. But a lot of times when guys bust, you go back and look and sure enough, that Wonderlic score was low.' Wyatt was also arrested in 2020 for three misdemeanor charges — family violence, criminal trespass, and damage to property. While the charges were later dropped, there were several questions about his character before the draft. 'Obviously he had a couple hiccups there at Georgia,' Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said after drafting Wyatt played 33.24% of the defensive snaps last year due to injury and a log jam up front. With T.J. Slaton's departure in free agency, Wyatt's role should increase dramatically. The Packers picked up Wyatt's fifth-year option in May, and his salary for 2026 will be $12.938 million. Both sides would like to get a long term deal done, though, making this a critical year for Said It … 'He's a quick twitch-up, twitchy defensive lineman and a guy that can really explode off the football. So, that is a benefit of this style of system where you're trying to, we're more of a penetrating front as opposed to like a read-and-react playing technique. You just want to try to create chaos and carnage in front of you by blowing up the man in front of you.' — Packers coach Matt LaFleur on Wyatt'D-Wy was probably our most consistent pass rusher from the inside this year.' — Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst on Wyatt after the 2024 season'I definitely do love the system we're in. I'm a lot more comfortable and I can move a lot faster. Just being aware of what's going on in the system. … Definitely playing in this system for this first year, it gives me an advantage for next year and being in this system again.' — Wyatt on playing in the Packers' 4-3 defenseTHE TOP 30 • No. 30 — RB MarShawn Lloyd • No. 29 — WR Dontayvion Wicks • No. 28 — S Javon Bullard • No. 27 — WR Savion Williams • No. 26 — LB Isaiah McDuffie • No. 25 — OL Jordan Morgan • No. 24 — WR Matthew Golden • No. 23 — CB Carrington Valentine • No. 22 — WR Romeo Doubs • No. 21 — QB Malik Willis N0. 20 — DE Lukas Van Ness • No. 19 — RG Sean Rhyan • No. 18 — LT Rasheed Walker

Sparks, Azurá Stevens rally to beat Fever, 89-87, ending Indiana's 3-game winning streak
Rickea Jackson's short jumper with 58 seconds remaining put the Los Angeles Sparks on top for good in their 89-87 win over the Indiana Fever on Saturday night. Jackson scored nine of the Sparks' final 10 points and finished with 15 in the game. Azurá Stevens led Los Angeles with 21 points, providing the final margin of victory on a free throw with 3.2 seconds remaining. She also grabbed 12 rebounds. Kelsey Plum added 20 points and improved her personal record against Indiana to 21-1, the highest winning percentage for a player in at least 20 games against a single team. Advertisement The Fever played their fifth consecutive game without Caitlin Clark, who continues to be sidelined with a left groin injury. Clark has missed 10 games overall this season, twice sitting out for five straight games. Indiana held an 60-52 lead with four minutes to go in the third quarter, but the Sparks ended the frame with an 18-9 run that gave them a 70-69 lead going into the final 10 minutes. Plum and Dearica Hamby (who finished with 18) each scored five points during that surge. Kelsey Mitchell continued her stellar play in Clark's absence, scoring 19 points for Indiana. She's averaged 21.6 points during the past five games. Natasha Howard added 21 points on 8-for-11 shooting from the floor, while grabbing nine boards. Advertisement Aliyah Boston dominated inside throughout the game, leading the Fever with 23 points and 12 rebounds. However, she missed a jumper with 0.1 seconds left that would have tied the score. Indiana missed its final five shots of the game. "[The Sparks] let the game come to them. We, on the other hand, really felt pressed," Fever coach Stephanie White said after the game. "We forced some shots, some quick shots, and didn't make them work as much as we could have on the defensive end." With the defeat, Indiana dropped to 9-9, putting them seventh in the WNBA standings. The Fever has gone 3-2 without Clark during her latest five-game absence. Up next for them is hosting the Golden State Valkyries (9-8) on Wednesday. The Sparks improved to 6-13, but sit in 10th place. They will face the league-leading Minnesota Lynx (16-2) at home on Thursday.
