Chris Gotterup won the 2026 John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run and he earmed $1,584,000. Max Homa finished one shot back and earned $959,200. The John Deere Classic prize money is an $8.8 million purse.

Preston Stout finished in a tie for 15th at 14 under but earned nothing. He could not take the money because he is an amateur. Ben Kohles was tied for the lead on the 72nd hole, then he made double bogey. This dropped him to a tie for third and he earned $466,400.
Gotterup earned the most of anyone in the field. This was his third win this year and his fifth on the tour. He plays the Genesis Scottish Open next, where he is the defending champion.
