The Sanderson Farms Championship is a professional golf tournament on the PGA Tour, played annually in Mississippi.
It moved to the Country Club of Jackson in Jackson in autumn 2014, early in the 2015 season.
The tournament has been part of the PGA Tour schedule since 1968 and has raised more than $8.1 million for statewide charities.
Originally played at the Hattiesburg Country Club in Hattiesburg, the event moved in 1994 to Annandale Golf Club in Madison, which was hosted through 2013.
Since 2013, the tournament’s title sponsor has been Sanderson Farms, a poultry farming corporation based in Laurel, Mississippi.
The tournament’s host organization, Century Club Charities, is a non-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is promoting the game of golf for the benefit of charity.
The Sanderson Farms Championship’s primary charity is Friends of Children’s Hospital, which benefits Batson’s Children Hospital.
Event Overview – Fortinet Championship – 2022 – PGA Golf Tour
2021 Sanderson Farms Championship winner Sam Burns will look to defend his title from last season after playing on the winning United States team in the Presidents Cup this past weekend.
His teammate on the United States team, Max Homa, successfully defended his 2021 win at the Fortinet Championship to start the new PGA TOUR season after a dramatic 72nd-hole come-from-behind victory.
This week, players should expect to be greeted by fast bermudagrass greens.
With smaller Donald Ross greens, there will be a premium on strong approach play.
The Country Club of Jackson also has wide fairways, so bombers off the tee should have an advantage built into this long course with four par fives.
Burns won in his first start of the 2021 season, and this victory kick-started his best-your on TOUR yet.
He would go on to win two more times at the Valspar Championship and the Charles Schwab Challenge.
In addition to Burns, other past champions at the Sanderson Farms in the field this week include Sebastian Muñoz (2020 winner), Ryan Armour (2018), Cody Gribble (2017), Peter Malnati (2016), and Nick Taylor (2015).
