The top dogs’ absences will open the door for some of the other players to shine.Ben Griffin, Jason Day, Denny McCarthy, Si Woo Kim, and Sungjae Im are among the participants who will tee off on Thursday.Griffin has been playing particularly well with two wins and seven top 15 finishes since the end of April. He has a decent chance to claim his third win of the season as he continues to move up the World Golf Rankings.Day sticks out as the established veteran this weekend who could use his experience to grind out a PGA Tour win. He has yet to win an event this year, but he does have four top-ten finishes, and just finished fourth last week at the Travelers Championship.This is a great PGA Tour event that you will not want to miss; be sure to tune in to catch all the action.Live stream the John Deere Classic main coverage for free with Fubo: Start your subscription now!Live stream the John Deere Classic with ESPN+: Start your subscription now!Regional restrictions may apply.
