Davis Thompson’s WITB: What is the 26 YO using at the John Deere Classic?

Davis Thompson, who has recently turned professional, has been making an impressive mark on the PGA Tour. Standing at 6-foot-4, the former rookie nearly clinched his maiden title at the 2023 American Express, narrowly falling one stroke short of Jon Rahm. However, it didn’t take long for him to break through.

Thompson captured his first PGA Tour victory at the 2024 John Deere Classic, winning by a commanding four-shot margin. Additionally, the victory was historic, as he became the first player in PGA Tour history to post a 72-hole total of 256 or lower, surpassing the previous record set by Ludvig Åberg at the 2023 RSM Classic.

Thompson will also enter the final round of the 2025 John Deere Classic in solo lead, one stroke ahead of Max Homa, David Lipsky, Brian Campbell, and Emiliano Grillo, who are tied for the second position.
