After a three-week break the PGA Tour’s FedEx Fall schedule resumes with the Sanderson Farms Championship at the Country Club of Jackson in Mississippi.

In 2022 Canadian Mackenzie Hughes clinched victory over Austrian Sepp Straka in a playoff for his second PGA Tour title, which came almost six years after his win in the 2016 RSM Classic.

Hughes returns to defend his title in this year’s tournament, but there’s no Straka, who, only days before the tournament, helped team Europe win the Ryder Cup at Marco Simone.

While it’s understandable that Straka has opted to sit this year’s event out following those heroics, there is one player from the victorious Ryder Cup team in the field. Swede Ludvig Aberg claimed two points for Europe in the win and, fresh from that experience, he tees it up in the tournament for the first time.

The highest-ranked player in the field is Argentinian Emiliano Grillo, who begins the tournament 35th in the world. Grillo is having a good year, having won the Charles Schwab Challenge in May for his first PGA Tour win in eight years. He then finished T6 at The Open - his first top 10 in a Major, before finishing 29th in the Tour Championship.

The Sanderson Farms Championship marks as first appearance since that tournament at East Lake.

The next highest player in the rankings competing this week is World No.50 Tom Hoge, whose high point of the year so far came with T3 in The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass. The American only has one PGA Tour win to his name so far, in the 2022 Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and he will be looking to add to that here.

Other players in the field who will be confident of finishing high up on the leaderboard include Lee Hodges, who claimed his maiden PGA Tour win in July’s 3M Open, World No.57 Lucas Herbert and Eric Cole, whose most recent outing, in the Fortinet Championship, saw him finish fourth.

Cameron Champ, who won the tournament five years ago, also plays, along with the player he succeeded as champion, Ryan Armour. Peter Malnati, who won in 2015 and 2016 champion Cody Gribble, are in the field too.

Players are competing for a purse of $8.2m, of which the winner will claim $1.476m.
