Coming off the high of the Ryder Cup, it’s time for the Sanderson Farms Championship. 

One hundred thirty-two players will tee it up at the Country Club of Jackson in Mississippi for the second of seven PGA Tour fall events. Many players are aiming to finish inside the top 100 at the end of the fall series and secure their Tour cards for 2026. 

However, the field boasts four of the top 50 players in the world: Akshay Bhatia (No. 34), Min Woo Lee (No. 43), Sam Stevens (No. 46) and J.T. Poston (No. 48).

The lone Ryder Cup participant playing this week is Rasmus Højgaard, who went 0–2–0 in Europe’s win. 

There are also six past champions in the field: Peter Malnati (2015), Ryan Armour (2017), Cameron Champ (2018), Mackenzie Hughes (2022), Luke List (2023) and Kevin Yu (2024), along with eight sponsor exemptions: Ryan Armour, Zac Blair, Will Gordon, Michael La Sasso, Ben Martin, Kye Meeks, Taylor Montgomery and Matt NeSmith. 

La Sasso highlights that list as the winner of the 2025 NCAA Division I Individual National Championship. He is a junior at Ole Miss and is making his sixth start of the year as an amateur, with his lone made cut coming at July's 3M Open (T44).
