The Spirit of the South: Where It All Happens
A course steeped in character, history, and Southern charm
Nestled in the heart of Jackson, Mississippi, the Sanderson Farms Championship takes place at the Country Club of Jackson—a course known for its classic design and towering pines. With rolling fairways and strategically placed hazards, the venue tests every aspect of a golfer’s game while offering spectators sweeping views and intimate access to the action.
Since 1968, the tournament has served as a proud stop on the PGA TOUR calendar, growing from a regional favorite into a nationally recognized competition. It’s one of just a few TOUR events that benefits a children’s hospital—specifically, the Children’s of Mississippi—making each swing and each ticket purchased a gesture of purpose.
The layout of the Country Club of Jackson—particularly its signature 16th, 17th, and 18th holes—sets the stage for edge-of-your-seat finales, with water-lined greens and bold shot-making opportunities offering a mix of risk and reward for both players and fans.

And let’s not forget Sam Burns, who brought a new level of fire to the 2021 tournament, showing fans how consistency and confidence can dominate even the tightest leaderboards.
While the names change, the moments of brilliance remain. Each year delivers incredible storylines—from come-from-behind Sunday charges to emotional first-time wins.
