Veteran Keith Mitchell headlines the field this week in Mississippi as the PGA Tour gets back into action. The 32-year-old who is surprisingly just a one-time winner during his career will have all eyes on him when he tees of Thursday. Sitting 72nd in the FedExCup Fall standings, Mitchell is in a comfortable position to finish this portion of the season in the top 125. Coming off back-to-back 12th place finishes at the Wyndham Championship and Procore Championship, Mitchell finds his game in a good spot entering this week. Sanderson Farms Championship odds list Mitchell as the favorite this week, however there are several other players in the same price range looking to chase him down.
There is no rest for Mackenzie Hughes this week as he is right back in action following his appearance in the Presidents Cup where he represented the International Team. The 2022 Sanderson Farms Championship champion looks to repeat that performance this year on a course he clearly has fond memories of playing on. A tie for fourth place his last time out in a strokes event at the Procore Championship, Hughes finds his game also in good form as he makes the trip from Montreal to Mississippi. Sanderson Farms Championship odds list Hughes as one of the top favorites on the odds board and don’t be surprised to see the former champion back in the winner’s circle again this week.
Seamus Power (+2200 at bet365 sportsbook)
*Odds were +2800
It’s been an odd season for two-time PGA Tour champion Seamus Power. With just six top 25 finishes to go with only one top 10 finish, Power has hardly been noticeable this season. However, his six straight made cuts do stand out as well as the fact that he finished tied for tenth last time out at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in mid-August. This current run of form has Power sitting 56th in the FedExCup Fall standings. Sanderson Farms Championship odds list Power as one to watch this week, and with weaker names headlining the event it’s easy to understand why. When making your picks for this week keep an eye on Power.
Sitting 54th in the FedExCup Fall standings and 71st in the official world golf rankings, 28-year-old Maverick McNealy remains in search of his first victory on the PGA Tour. An impressive eight top 25 finishes in 22 events to go with four top ten finishes has made 2024 a season to remember for the Stanford star. Now he looks to close the deal for the first time in his career and his current form would have suggested he was ready to break through, that was until a missed cut last time out at the Procore Championship. If McNealy can regain the form he showed prior to that, he could break through this week. Sanderson Farms Championship odds list McNealy high enough up the odds board this week that he is one to be respected when making your picks for the week.
Rounding out the list of the top golfers for the top golfers for the Sanderson Farms Championship is one-time PGA Tour winner J.J. Spaun. Riding a wave of hot play of late, Spaun arrives in Mississippi having made the cut in seven straight events. Three top 10 finishes in that span have seen Spaun shoot up to 100th in the FedExCup Fall standings. Now he needs to step up his game a little bit further and take home his second career PGA Tour win. Sanderson Farms Championship odds list Spaun as a player to watch out for this week as he looks to ride the momentum into another high finish.
Sanderson Farms Championship Longshot
Henrik Norlander (+4000 at Caesars Sportsbook)
*Odds were +6600
A longshot to keep in mind this week at the Sanderson Farms Championship is Sweden’s Henrik Norlander. Norlander loves to play at the Country Club of Jackson if history is any indication. A playoff loss here last year to Luke List was preceded by back-to-back tie for fourths and a tie for 24th. Cleary the Swede is comfortable in Mississippi and there is no reason to think his success their won’t continue. With three top 25 finishes in his last five events, Norlander is certainly a longshot to follow this week when looking at the Sanderson Farms Championship odds.

Sanderson Farms Championship betting trends
There are quite a few trends to consider when looking at the odds for the Sanderson Farms Championship. One that stands out however is that the last in the last five years the tournament has gone to a playoff three times and the other two years the eventual champion won by a single stroke. I would lean again this year to a tight finish, and it might just be worth your while to lay a wager down on the tournament once again returning to a playoff for the third consecutive year.
Making his Sanderson Farms debut, Rickie Fowler looks to get his game on track on Mississippi. With six career wins on the PGA Tour and three wins internationally, Fowler knows what it takes to win on the biggest of stages. While he has represented the United States of America three times at the Presidents Cup, Fowler was not on the team this year as his game has fallen off in recent years. Sitting 68th in the official world golf rankings, Fowler once was as high as number four in the world. However, when looking at the names in this week’s field, Fowler’s is one that certainly stands out when considering his career pedigree.
