So kinda take us through, you know, uh, your view on the John Deere Classic and kinda the, the relatively tumultuous year it was for that event.

Well, as, uh, my, one of my other bosses besides you, uh, Jim Nugent, mentioned, uh, yes, they, they are back, uh, for next year and beyond through '30.

They're gonna be on the tier two, if you were, the challenger tier, and that's an interesting one because just imagine if this happened 10 years ago and the PGA Tour tells Zach Johnson, who is a trustee on the board and a former winner there and a Masters and Open champion, "Oh, no, you can't play at the John Deere.

You're up on the, the top tier.

You're on the champions tier." I, I just think that there would be a huge stink about that.

There might still be that And another question will be after this renewal, which goes through '30, I believe, will John Deere wanna stick around if they're down on the second tier? There were some people in the Deere Corporation that said, "You know, we'd love to be every so often, um, one of the signature events." Well, now those are all going to be locked in stone, and the tour went back and said, "Well, wait, they're in the hotel rooms of the Davenport, the Quad Cities area to take care of this." Um, I don't know if they wanna stay around past '30.

I would hope they would.

So I guess just generally speaking, you know, how does the level of, of history and, and artifacts and everything all, along those lines that the courses have here in Chicago kinda compare with really the rest of the country and, and even the world?
