Can John Deere Classic's 'Trophy House' continue its unique streak?

The John Deere Classic's Trophy House has produced a winner of the competition in the last three consecutive years. An Airbnb located just a few miles away from TPC Deere Run, the venue of the PGA Tour event, is now popularly called the Trophy House. Golfers who have rented this house in the past have won the tournament.

In 2022, J.T. Poston stayed in the property while playing in the John Deere Classic, and he registered a three-stroke win in the game over Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Emiliano Grillo. The tradition continued after Sepp Straka won the event in 2023, followed by Davis Thompson in 2024.

This year, Poston, Grayson Sigg, Patton Kizzire, Chris Kirk, Thompson, Denny McCarthy, and Ben Kohles are back to stay in the Trophy House, and they have a good chance to win the John Deere Classic and could continue the unique streak.

Defending champion Davis Thompson has played in 19 tournaments this season on the PGA Tour and made the cut in 13. He last competed at the Rocket Classic, where he posted rounds of 66, 70, 66, and 73 to finish in T34. His best finish of the season was a T10 at The Players Championship.

Intriguingly, Thompson stayed in the same room in which Straka stayed a year before him and won the event. He will again be staying in the same room this week and look forward to winning the event.

"Yeah, I got dibs, so hopefully have the same result,” Thompson said, via PGA Tour. “I got here on Sunday night, so I was able to snag it."

The 2025 John Deere Classic will start with its first round on Thursday, July 3, and it would be interesting to see if there could be a winner from the Trophy House for the fourth consecutive year. The tournament will have its finale on Sunday, July 6.
