SILVIS, Ill. — Viktor Hovland and Scottie Scheffler had to return to TPC River Highlands on Monday to finish their playoff at the Travelers Championship after heavy rain caused a weather delay Sunday afternoon.
The PGA Tour might run into the same problem again this week at the John Deere Classic, where brutally hot and humid conditions could cook up thunderstorms throughout the weekend in Silvis, Illinois. The first round got underway Thursday morning without a hitch, but the forecast for the rest of the tournament doesn't look too promising.
The first round of inclement weather could arrive Thursday afternoon, as the forecast calls for a 50 percent chance of scattered thunderstorms. Even if those storms don't materialize, players will be dealing with temperatures in the low 90s with a heat index north of 100 degrees.
Friday's forecast is similar to Thursday's: partly cloudy with a high in the upper 80s and a heat index nearing 100, plus a 55 percent chance of a strong thunderstorm carrying heavy rain that could cause flash flooding in some areas.
Saturday's third round seems to have the biggest chance of a suspension in play, with cloudy and very humid conditions. There's a 60 percent chance of thunderstorms all throughout the day, and some of those storms could be severe, with high winds and damaging hail to go along with heavy rain.
The final round Sunday should go off just fine in the morning, but there's potential for more thunderstorms to roll in during the afternoon as the final groups make their way down the stretch. Otherwise, it will be the coolest day of competition, with a high in the mid-80s and a heat index around 90 degrees.
