Chris Gotterup capped off an impressive week at the 2026 John Deere Classic with a spectacular final-round 9-under-par 62, securing his third PGA Tour victory of the season. In recognition of his achievement, Gotterup was presented with the tournament’s distinctive Malcolm DeMille trophy—a celebrated symbol of excellence and tradition.
Expertly handcrafted by the team Malcolm DeMille, the John Deere Classic trophy showcases a dynamic bronze sculpture of the iconic Deere logo captured mid-leap above a gently flowing river, with the fairways of TPC Deere Run featured in the background. The detailed design reflects both the spirit of championship golf and the rich heritage of the John Deere brand.
For more than 25 years, Malcolm DeMille has been honored to partner with the John Deere Classic, creating custom trophies, awards, and commemorative gifts that embody the tournament’s prestige. We extend our sincere congratulations to Chris Gotterup on his remarkable victory and our heartfelt appreciation to the John Deere Classic team for their continued confidence in our artistry and craftsmanship.
