TOURNAMENT OVERVIEW

OCTOBER 1-4, 2020

Sanderson Farms Championship

Location & Course Information

JACKSON, MISS. COUNTRY CLUB OF JACKSON Founded in 1913, the Country Club of Jackson is a private club with 27 holes originally designed by Dick Wilson in 1962. John Fought redesigned 18 holes in 2008, the Dogwood and Azalea nines used for the tournament. Yardage: 7,460; par 72.

Notable Course Features The signature hole is the 479-yard, par-4 16th (the toughest on the course in 2020). Swampland protects the entire left side and also crosses the fairway about 80 yards short of the largest green on the course. A long approach must avoid swamp on the left and a large bunker on the right.

Fueled by a closing birdie at the 72nd hole, Sergio Garcia holds the trophy after winning the Sanderson Farms Championship at The Country Club of Jackson. It was Garcia’s first PGA TOUR triumph since the 2017 Masters.

“It was the perfect ending for an amazing week.” – Sergio Garcia
