Davis Thompson Celebrates John Deere Classic Victory with his Wife

On July 7, 2024, Davis Thompson marked a significant milestone in his golfing career by clinching his first-ever PGA Tour victory at the John Deere Classic. Not only did he secure the win, but he also set a new TPC Deere Run 72-hole record with an impressive score of -28.

After sinking his final putt on the 18th hole, Thompson immediately sought out one special person in the crowd—his wife, Holly Grace, to share in the celebration.

“Yeah, it means everything,” Thompson expressed. “We’ve had an up-and-down year with a lot of challenges off the golf course, but seeing her out there, all the emotions just came pouring out.”

Holly Grace reflected on the moment, noting, “Everyone jokes about Davis being reserved and introverted, so to see him show so much emotion meant a lot to me. It shows how happy he is that all his hard work paid off. Even a little smile from Davis goes a long way. To have him show that much emotion is truly special for me as his wife. I’m so excited for him.”

Thompson’s stellar performance in the final round, particularly his strong start, set the pace for a steady back nine. “The hot start was great,” Thompson said. “It helped me cruise on the back nine. I hit a lot of quality shots on the front nine. I didn’t know what the record was; I was just focused on beating everyone. But it’s pretty cool to have that record.”

Joe Etter, Thompson’s caddie, praised his mental fortitude. “It’s just his ability to block out all the noise and focus on the task at hand,” Etter said. “That’s pretty rare for someone his age—25 years old. It seems like no moment is too big for him, which definitely sets him apart out here.”

Thompson’s triumph at the John Deere Classic will undoubtedly be a moment he and his supporters will remember for years to come.
