One of the biggest stars in the John Deere field this week is Jason Day. The 2015 PGA champion ended a five-year win drought last season with a victory at the AT&T Byron Nelson.

Though Day hasn’t added to his win total since, he has racked up four top-10s so far in 2024, with his best finish coming in the form of a T4 at the Wells Fargo Championship.

Day will get his tournament started on Thursday at 1:49 p.m. ET alongside Sepp Straka and Lucas Glover.
