Sanderson Farms Championship Odds to Win Plus Analysis on Betting Favourites

The PGA Tour picks back up this week as the Fall Series rolls on with the 2023 Sanderson Farms Championship. Held in Jackson, Mississippi, at the Country Club of Jackson, the tournament is the only PGA Tour event played in the state of Mississippi. The four-day individual stroke play event begins on Thursday, October 5th, and concludes on Sunday, October 9th.

Canadian golfer Mackenzie Hughes returns to the South to defend his 2022 title. Hughes picked up his second PGA Tour victory, and first since 2016, by firing a four-day total of 271 (17-under) and defeating Sepp Straka in a playoff. 

Historically played as an opposite field event, the tournament has been a part of the PGA Tour schedule since 1968. The event has been played at different times throughout the year, but since 2015, it has been played since October.

Tournament play begins on Thursday, September 14th, and concludes on Sunday, September 17th. That said, let’s take a closer look at the upcoming Sanderson Farms Championship tournament so you can bet against the PGA betting lines.

Country Club of Jackson, Jackson, Mississippi

 

Country Club of Jackson

The Country Club of Jackson was established in 1914 with 27 championship holes on the property. In 2008, 18 of the holes were re-designed by golf course architect John Fought. Fought’s layout used many of the late Donald Ross’ staples, with parkland-style routing and small, undulated green complexes. 

The course reaches just under 7,500 yards in length and plays as a par-72 for the pros. CC of Jackson sets up well for elite ball-strikers and puts an emphasis on approach shots and putting.

 

Sanderson Farms Championship Field

The tournament has regularly been passed up by the world’s best, given its spot on the Tour schedule, but five of the top 50 ranked golfers during FedEx Cup play are teeing it up this week. Leading the group is Emiliano Grillo, who finished tied for 29th.

Hughes looks to become just the second golfer to win this tournament in back-to-back seasons, joining Dwight Nevil (1973-74). The 32-year-old entered the week ranked 51st in the FedEx Cup standings, aiming to hold onto his spot in The Next 10 (51-60), which would earn him entry into the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and the Genesis Invitational.

Other notable players in the field this week include Kevin Kisner, Tom Hoge, Eric Cole, Lucas Herbert, and European Ryder Cup participant Ludvig Aberg.

 

Sanderson Farms Championship Betting Favorites

Six of the last nine winners of the event have been first-time champions, so don’t be surprised if that trend continues this week. 

Aberg (+1100) is the pre-tournament betting favorite, holding an edge over Stephan Jaeger (+1800). Both golfers are looking to become first-time winners on the PGA circuit.

Cole (+2000) trails behind the top two golfers as the 35-year-old late bloomer looks to build on a solid 2023 year that includes 11 top 25 finishes in 33 events played.

Rounding out the top favorites are Grillo (+2000), Lee Hodges (+3000), and Beau Hossler (+3000). Grillo won his second career PGA Tour tournament earlier this year with a victory at the Charles Schwab Challenge in May. Hodges also won earlier this season with a triumph at the 3M Open in July.

Keith Mitchell (+2800), S.H. Kim (+3000), Lucas Herbert (+3300), Adam Svensson (+3500), Callum Tarren (+4000), Davis Riley (+4000) are past champions in the field teeing it up this week.
