Brian Campbell needed just one extra hole to dispatch Emiliano Grillo in a playoff to win the 2025 John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run on Sunday.

Brian Campbell is your basic throwback player on the PGA Tour, a golfer who relies on accuracy and short game in an era when just about everyone else is swinging out of their shoes with a driver to obliterate the game’s sense of scale. We’re not talking pre-Tiger era here. We’re talking pre-Jack. Maybe pre-World War II.

SILVIS, Ill. — Brian Campbell won for the second time this year on the PGA Tour, both in a playoff, when he closed with a 4-under 67 and beat Emiliano Grillo with a par on the first extra hole Sunday in the John Deere Classic.
