One week after Europe’s win in the Ryder Cup, the PGA Tour continues its fall schedule with the 2023 Sanderson Farms Championship in Mississippi. The Country Club of Jackson is hosting the event for the 10th time, with the 1st round beginning on Thursday morning.
Below, we look at the 2023 Sanderson Farms Championship odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.
Ludvig Aberg is the highest-ranked player in the field at No. 11 in the latest Golfweek/Sagarin rankings, and is the betting favorite (+1200) to win in Jackson. Eric Cole, Stephan Jaeger (both at +2000) and Emiliano Grillo (+2200) are also among the top players teeing it up in Mississippi this week.
The Country Club of Jackson is a par-72 course and will play at 7,461 yards. It features bermuda grass greens that often roll at very quick speeds, and given the length of the course, strokes gained: off the tee is a good measure of success at the Country Club of Jackson, as are most ball-striking stats due to the smaller greens. The last 9 winning scores here have been between 16-under and 22-under par.

Sanderson Farms Championship – Expert picks

Eric Cole (+2000)
Cole doesn’t have a PGA Tour win yet on his resume, but he’s someone who’s due for one. He has 4 top-10 finishes already this season, including a 4th-place finish in the Fortinet Championship two weeks ago. He missed the cut last year after a 1st-round 78 but he’s a good bet this week in Mississippi.
Ludvig Aberg (+1200)
Is Aberg going to be jetlagged and burned out from the festivities in Rome? Maybe. Is he still deserving of the shortest odds this week? Definitely. I’m willing to take him to win this week and ride the momentum after playing well in the Ryder Cup and winning the Omega European Masters last month.

Sanderson Farms Championship picks – Contenders
Mark Hubbard (+4000)
Hubbard tied for 5th here last year after missing the cut the previous 2 seasons, which was one of 3 top-30 finishes in the fall last season. In the Fortinet Championship 2 weeks ago, he tied for 17th, so he has some momentum.
Greyson Sigg (+5000)
He tied for 9th in this event last year. Last month he tied for 25th in the Fortinet and is above-average in SG: off the tee this season, ranking 79th on tour. As a mid-tier target, Sigg has good value this week.
Sanderson Farms Championship picks – Long shots
Scott Stallings (+9000)
Stallings has a lot of experience in this event, playing it 8 straight seasons. He’s only missed the cut twice in that span and has never finished worse than T-43 when he has made the cut, with his best finish being T-6 three years ago. His odds should probably be shorter, given his course history.
