Geoffery Clark Backs 5 John Deere Outrights, Staking 2.46 Units on Koivun-Led Card

Summary
Clark’s 2026 John Deere Classic card puts 2.46 units on five outrights and 1.25 units on top-five bets, with amateur standout turned full-time pro Jackson Koivun the headline pick at +2700.
Koivun leads the card because he has made 8 of 10 PGA TOUR cuts, posted the low amateur at the 2026 U.S. Open and arrives in a weak Silvis field that many top players are skipping before the Scottish Open and Open Championship.
Jacob Bridgeman (+3300) and Tom Kim (+3500) are the next two main outrights, backed by stronger recent form than their odds imply—Bridgeman won the Genesis Invitational this season, while Kim was third at the U.S. Open.
Denny McCarthy (+6566) and Emiliano Grillo (+8400) round out the card on course-fit and history at TPC Deere Run, where McCarthy has four straight top-11 finishes and Grillo lost in a playoff last year.
Clark also named Bridgeman his John Deere one-and-done pick, arguing the event’s softer field and birdie-heavy setup create value on proven putters and accurate drivers.
