Who’s in the field at the Sanderson Farms Championship?
There are some Ryder Cup ties to this year’s event. Rasmus Hojgaard, a member of the winning European team, is set to tee it up, as is his twin brother Nicolai, who was on the 2023 Ryder Cup squad. Two vice captains are in the field as well, Brandt Snedeker from the U.S. and Francesco Molinari of Europe. The rest of the field in Jackson has quite a few notable names from the PGA Tour.
Betting favorites at the 2025 Sanderson Farms Championship
Akshay Bhatia (+1600), Davis Thompson (+2000) and Min Woo Lee (+2000) are the headliners in this field, along with defending champion Kevin Yu (+2800). With the top players taking the fall off until the 2026 season begins, there aren’t as many stars teeing it up, but Max Homa (+4000) is in the field and trying to gain some momentum leading into next season.

What is happening with the title sponsorship of the Sanderson Farms Championship?
As the 13th and final year of sponsorship for Wayne Sanderson Farms at Mississippi’s only PGA Tour event is nearing an end, there is no better way to find a new sponsor than to show off at this year’s tournament. However, if the tournament cannot find a new sponsor in the next couple of months, Mississippi’s run of having a PGA Tour stop since 1968 could possibly come to an end. Wayne Sanderson Farms’ run as a full partner with Jackson and its PGA tournament has been a historic one. It has been the title sponsor since 2013. ‒ Ross Reily, Mississippi Clarion Ledger
What’s the prize money payouts at the Sanderson Farms Championship?
There is a $6 million total purse with a first-place prize of $1.08 million going to the winner. Full FedEx Cup points are on the line but there is no longer a Masters invitaition available for the winner. Augusta National altered its criteria and no longer awards a trip down Magnolia Lane to winners of the PGA Tour’s Fall series events.
Who’s the defending champion at the Sanderson Farms Championship?
Kevin Yu won his first PGA Tour event one year ago at this event. He is back to defend. Other recent winners include Luke List (2023), Mackenzie Hughes (2022), Sam Burns (2021) and Sergio Garcia (2020). The complete list of tournament winners dating back to 1968 also includes Cameron Champ, Nick Taylor, Chris Kirk and Luke Donald.
