A new date means some new faces will be at next month’s John Deere Classic. For the first time the tournament will be two weeks prior to the British Open and tournament director Clair Peterson says more PGA Tour veterans will be in the field.

Peterson says a problem is that the John Deere Classic is part of a grueling seven-week schedule of events.

Peterson expects more familiar names will join the field in the next month because the John Deere Classic will have additional qualifying spots into the British Open.

The John Deere Classic is June 30th through July third in the Quad Cities.
