More vets signing up for John Deere Classic

More P.G.A. veterans are committing to play in next weeks John Deere Classic near the Quad Cities. David Toms, Nick Price and David Duval have a total of five major championships between them.Golfers have until Friday afternoon to enter the tournament and director Clair Peterson says one of the reason PGA veterans may decide to play at the last minnute is to improve their chances of representing the U.S. in international competition. He says the Ryder Cup and President’s Cup points are on a two year rotation because that’s when the events happen. Right now it’s the President’s Cup that players are worrying about. Every P.G.A tour event gives players a chance to earn points for what Peterson calls “the Olympics of golf.” The Deere Classic begins next Thursday at the TPC at Deere Run.
