The 2025 John Deere Classic is all set to tee off at TPC Deere Run, and fans planning to attend should be aware of the key policies in place for a smooth tournament experience.

Before entering the venue or boarding a shuttle, all attendees and their belongings will go through security screening. Items that don’t meet the approved guidelines must be taken back to vehicles, as the John Deere Classic may not offer a bag check facility.

Here’s a quick look at the essential on-site rules and regulations:

No bags larger than 6” x 6” are allowed. This includes backpacks, camera bags, and chair bags.
Clear bags up to 12” x 6” x 12” are permitted.
Lounge chairs, oversized chairs with footrests, or seat cushions with pockets are not allowed.
Only collapsible chairs (without bags) and simple seat cushions are allowed. All chairs must be removed each day.
