About this episode

The episode provides a comprehensive betting preview for the 2026 John Deere Classic, discussing player performances and betting strategies.

The Long Shots Golf Betting Podcast is back with a full betting preview of the 2026 John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run. Matt Brown, Wes Reynolds, and Kelley Bydlon recap Viktor Hovland's impressive victory over Scottie Scheffler at the Travelers Championship, discuss whether Hovland is officially back as a serious betting option, and examine why Scheffler's "slump" is still one of the most dominant stretches in golf. The crew also takes an early look at The Open Championship odds, debates value on the betting board, and breaks down one of the PGA Tour's favorite birdie-fest venues. Then it's time for the John Deere Classic betting card. The guys discuss course fit, key statistics, outright betting strategy, top-20 and top-10 plays, and several longshot sleepers, including Tom Kim, Chris Gotterup, Jackson Suber, Ben Kohles, Max Homa, Michael Kim, Keith Mitchell, and more. If you're betting on this week's PGA Tour event, this episode covers everything you need before placing your wagers.
