After the drama of last week’s Presidents Cup, the new PGA Tour season moves on to the Country Club of Jackson in Mississippi with the Sanderson Farms Championship.
A handful of the best PGA Tour players, including Rory McIlroy and Matt Fitzpatrick, are in Scotland this week for the DP World Tour’s Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, while many other big names are sitting out this tournament. However, there are still some relatively high-profile players among the Tour’s lesser names in this week's field.
One is defending champion Sam Burns, fresh from his exploits at Quail Hollow last week. Burns’ final round last year included four birdies in a five-hole run over the back nine to hold off the challenges of Nick Watney and Cameron Young for his second PGA Tour title. The overnight leader going into the final round was Sahith Theegala. However, his challenge faded as the day progressed and he finished tied for eighth – a position the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year nominee will be looking to improve on this week.
As well as Burns, another player who competed in the Presidents Cup, the International team's Christiaan Bezuidenhout, also appears. World No.45 Harris English participates too, as does the man three places beneath him in the Official World Golf Ranking, Keegan Bradley. Ryan Armour, who won the tournament in 2017, will be hoping for similar success this year. Other former winners appearing include 2015 victor Peter Malnati and Cody Gribble, who won in 2016.
The players will compete for a record purse of $7.9m, an increase of $900,000 last year, with the winner earning $1.42m. Whoever does claim the first prize will need to negotiate a parkland course known for its small and challenging greens.
Below is a full breakdown of the prize money and field.
