Moving Day has arrived at the 2026 John Deere Classic, and the leaderboard remains packed heading into Saturday’s third round at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois.

Lucas Glover enters the weekend with a two-shot advantage after opening the tournament with consecutive stellar rounds of 63 and 65.

However, the veteran won’t have much room for error with several accomplished PGA Tour players – including Max Homa, Chris Gotterup, Tom Kim and hometown favorite Zach Johnson – within striking distance as they chase the $1.6 million winner’s prize and 500 FedExCup points.

Lucas Glover Leads Packed Leaderboard

Glover has been one of the most consistent players through the opening two rounds, putting together 14-under-par to earn the final pairing on Saturday. He’ll tee off alongside Lee Hodges and Zac Blair at 12:35 p.m. ET.

Just one group ahead could provide the day’s biggest attraction. Max Homa, Zach Johnson and Chris Gotterup will begin their third rounds at 12:02 p.m. ET in a marquee grouping featuring three legitimate contenders. Homa continues to search for another PGA Tour victory, Johnson will have the local crowd firmly behind him, and Gotterup has positioned himself near the top of the leaderboard after another impressive week.

Elsewhere, Ben Griffin—who surged into contention with a second-round 65—will tee off at 11:51 a.m. ET alongside Pontus Nyholm and William Mouw, while Tom Kim headlines another notable pairing with Harry Higgs and Davis Chatfield beginning at 11:23 a.m. ET.


Jordan Spieth Among Early Featured Groups

Two-time John Deere Classic champion Jordan Spieth narrowly survived Friday’s cut after a back-nine rally, and he’ll have an early start on Saturday as he looks to climb the leaderboard.

Spieth is grouped with Mackenzie Hughes and Erik van Rooyen, with the trio scheduled to tee off at 7:53 a.m. ET. After making the cut right on the number at 3-under, Spieth will likely need another low round to give himself a realistic chance of contending on Sunday.

Featured groups include:

Other notable early groups include Keegan Bradley, Will Gordon, and David Skinns at 8:26 a.m. ET. Tony Finau is also among the morning wave, teeing off at 9:16 a.m. ET with Kevin Yu and Matt Kuchar.

Featured holes will be nos. 3 (par 3), 12 (par 3), 14 (par 4), and 16 (par 3), per PGA Tour.
