PGA Tour money leaders: Top 25 unchanged with the results of the John Deere Classic
With Ben Griffin the only top-10 player on the PGA Tour money list in the field for the John Deere Classic — and because he missed the cut — the order changed very little with final results at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Ill. Winner Brian Campbell, who had been in a slump since he won his first Tour event in February at the Mexico Open, moved from 71st to 37th with the $1,512,000 first-place check and joined the 41 players who have earned $3 million or more this season. That's a great example of how the PGA Tour purses have evolved so quickly. Until 1999, no Tour player had earned $3 million or more. Tiger Woods blew that out of the water that season with more than $6 million in earnings but that's a figure that has been eclipsed by 14 players this season — and there are still six FedEx Cup events left, three FedEx Cup playoffs and six tournaments in FedEx Cup Fall. No change through No. 25 in earnings Only two players inside the top 30 on the money list moved up. Lucas Glover, who shot 64 in the final round at TPC Deere Run to move into a tie for fifth, earned $278,250 and improved from 29th to 26th and passed $4 million in earnings. Jacob Bridgemen, who entered the week 36th, also shot 64 in the final round of the John Deere Classic to move to 30th in the money list with more than $3.4 million. The money list will be more volatile in the next two weeks with the game's top stars playing in the Scottish Open and the Open Championship. PGA Tour money leaders Through John Deere Classic 1.

Mizuno Pro S-1 irons: A modern muscleback forged for precision and solid feel
The Mizuno Pro S-1 irons offer a pure muscleback design with refined feel, stability, and tour-inspired shaping. Gear: Mizuno Pro S-1 irons Price: $1,400 (7-piece set) with KBS Tour 120 stiff shafts and Golf Pride Tour Velvet grips Specs: Grain Flow Forged HD 1025E mild carbon steel, Channel Back design, copper underlay, Harmonic Impact Technology Available: Pre-sale begins August 28; retail release September 11 Who it's for: Elite golfers who prioritize feel, precision, and control above all else and prefer a compact, pure muscleback iron with modern sole geometry. What you should know: The Mizuno Pro S-1 brings classic forged feel and shaping to a modern muscleback with refined sole geometry, enhanced vertical stability, and a satisfyingly solid feel preferred by discerning ballstrikers. It blends seamlessly with the S-3's Signature Series while having sharper shaping and tour-validated sole refinements. The Deep Dive: The Mizuno Pro S-1 irons continue a tradition of precision-forged, tour-inspired blades with subtle yet meaningful updates that make them more playable and more refined — without losing the DNA that's earned Mizuno its reputation among ball-strikers. Where the Mizuno Pro S-3 irons that were released in 2024 provided a tiny bit of forgiveness through a subtle cavity-back and multi-material construction, the S-1 is a pure muscleback for elite players who want control, workability, and a direct connection to the golf ball. But this is more than a nostalgic blade—it's a modern, optimized evolution. The S-1 is forged from a single billet of 1025E Pure Select mild carbon steel using Mizuno's Grain Flow Forged HD process in Hiroshima, Japan, creating a tight grain structure for that buttery-soft feel Mizuno fans expect. A thin copper underlay sits beneath the chrome plating to subtly soften vibrations, enhancing feedback without sacrificing a crisp, solid sensation through impact. What distinguishes the S-1 is the Channel Back design, which strategically repositions mass behind the face to promote greater vertical stability and a more consistent center of gravity. This tweak yields more consistent launch and control, especially on slightly mishit shots, without compromising the look of a traditional muscleback. Harmonic Impact Technology (H.I.T.) returns with fine-tuned vibration frequencies that produce a slightly firmer, yet satisfyingly-solid feel at impact. It's designed for players who want auditory and tactile feedback that breeds confidence with each strike. Visually, the S-1 stands out with a square toe shape, a look that has gained popularity on tour and resonates with players like staffers Keith Mitchell and Ben Griffin. Compared to the more rounded S-3, the S-1 has a more compact, squared-off profile, especially in the scoring clubs, to create a sharper, more defined look at address. The sole geometry — refined with input from tour players — features a flatter camber, sharpened leading edge, and an extra degree of bounce compared to the S-3. This combination smooths out turf interaction, particularly for players with a shallower angle of attack, and helps avoid digging while maintaining the ability to play aggressively off tight lies. Available in 4-PW for both right- and left-handed players, the S-1 comes standard with KBS Tour 120 stiff shafts and Golf Pride Tour Velvet grips. The loft progression starts at 24 degrees in the 4-iron and ends at 46 degrees in the pitching wedge, keeping pace with modern gapping expectations while maintaining classic feel and control. In the end, the S-1 isn't about chasing distance—it's about delivering precision, consistent launch, and the kind of refined feedback that players at the top of their game demand. Where the S-3 catered to elite ball-strikers who wanted a bit of help, the S-1 is for those who want nothing to come between them and the golf ball.

John Deere Classic Favorite Among PGA Tour Golfers Who Surprisingly Miss Cut
John Deere Classic Favorite Among PGA Tour Golfers Who Surprisingly Miss Cut originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Sometimes, the Fourth of July fireworks arrive a day late and hit your favorite golfers square in the FedExCup standings. The John Deere Classic looked ready for a typical birdie-fest, but by Friday afternoon, some of the tournament's top bets were already packing their bags. Advertisement The cut line danced all day between 4-under and 5-under before finally settling at 5-under, tying last year's record. By then, a few big names had already stumbled. Ben Griffin, Sungjae Im, Jason Day and Michael Kim, all highly ranked in the FedExCup, couldn't find enough birdies to stay alive for the weekend. Griffin, who entered the week as the No. 6 player in the FedExCup, shocked many by missing the cut. Same for Sungjae Im (No. 24), Jason Day (No. 28) and Michael Kim (No. 30). A brutal afternoon at TPC Deere Run didn't spare anyone. Even the course's perfect conditions couldn't rescue these guys. PGA Tour pro Ben Griffin hits his ball from the 9th tee box during the second round of the Rocket Classic at the Detroit Golf Club© David Rodriguez Munoz / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images While the favorites struggled, Doug Ghim played steady golf to hold the midway lead at 12-under. Defending champ Davis Thompson and Max Homa sit one shot back, ready for a weekend shootout. Advertisement Lucas Glover, who won here in 2021, found his groove again with a second-round 64. He'll start the weekend six shots off the pace but with confidence brewing. "Golf course is absolutely perfect," Glover said after his round. "Definitely shoot too low." The oddsmakers had the favorites riding high. According to Griffin opened at +1600, Day at +2200, Im at +3500 and Kim at +4500. None of them will see Sunday at Deere Run. That's golf for you. One day you're a favorite. The next, you're flying home early while the leaderboard marches on without you.
