After the action we saw at Detroit Golf Club last week, the 2021 PGA TOUR season will head to Silvis down in Illinois for the 2021 John Deere Classic. Dylan Frittelli is the defending champion of this event. Will he be the one to take home the winner’s share there worth $1.116 million this year? Check out who the experts are eyeing to win the title this coming weekend.
Jason Sobel of the Action Network is high on Kevin Streelman, who is +2200 to win the 2021 John Deere Classic at TopBet sportsbook. Streelman missed the cut in his last start,m which was in the 2021 Travelers Championship last June, but prior to that, he was on a roll, going 5 of 5 in five starts in a row, including as T13 in the Memorial Tournament and a T15 in the US Open. He’s made the top 10 three times in eight career appearances at TPC Deere Run.

Golfer to watch out for
CBS Sports Staff
Doc Redman
Redman (+5000)also got cut in his last start, which was in the 2021 Rocket Mortgage Classic. It was a bit disappointing to see him miss in the weekend boat for in that tournament as he was a favorite among sleepers hunters, but he could atone for that shortcoming in the upcoming 2021 John Deere Classic. Redman is 1 of 5 in his last six starts and has four top 10s in 23 starts this season. He recently had a T2 in the 2021 Palmetto Championship at Congaree last June.

To-ranked player
Rob Bolton
Brian Harman
For Rob Bolton, the top player to watch out for at TPC Deere Run this week is no other than Brian Harman (+1600). Harman is still searching for this first win of the season, but he’s come close to a win multiple times this year, particularly. Harman has five top 10s and 11 top 25s in 22 starts this season while missing the cut just two times. He has cracked the top 10 twice in his last two starts, including a T5 in the 2021 Travelers Championship.

Pick
Ryan Simpson, News Editor
Daniel Berger
In his preview of the 2021 John Deere Classic, TopBet News Editor Ryan Simpson revealed that he is picking Daniel Berger (+900) to win the tournament. Here’s what Simpson had to say about Berger:
“Currently ranked 16th on the season, Berger, just like the rest of the field, will look to capitalize on the absence of the big hitters this week at TPC Deere Run. Berger last saw action in the 2021 US Open where he finished with a T7. He’s 5 of 5 in his last five starts, a stretch that also seen him record four top 20s. Apart from his strong finish in the US Open, Berger also had a T3 in the 2021 AT&T Byron Nelson. It should also be noted that Berger finished fifth in the 2017 edition of the John Deere Classic, ending that tournament with a score of 15-under 269. Berger has a win this season, as he topped the 2021 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am back in February. That’s one of his six top 10s, so far this season.”
