Jordan Spieth announced on Monday that he would miss the John Deere Classic for the second consecutive season, per PGATour.com:
"I’m sorry I won’t be at this year’s John Deere Classic. I love the tournament, I love the golf course, and, more importantly, I love the people. Clair [Peterson, the tournament director], his staff, the fans—the entire community—everyone involved makes that event such a special stop for the PGA TOUR. While my schedule doesn’t permit me returning to the Quad Cities this year, I plan to be back in the future."
Spieth, 23, won the tournament twice in his career (2013, 2015) and finished tied for seventh in 2014.
