High-class players like Sergio Garcia and Sam Burns have won the Sanderson Farms Championship in recent seasons but the PGA Tour’s restructured Fall Series has made for a lower-quality field this time around. A tree-lined Mississippi course, Country Club of Jackson lends itself to low scoring and this week should be no exception. While all types of players have won this event, accurate approach play and a hot putter are the most common routes to success. Let’s get into our Sanderson Farms Championship golf predictions.

Sanderson Farms Championship golf picks and predictions

Patrick Fishburn (+3300)

Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.

The best bet from the front of the market could be Patrick Fishburn, who brings the most consistent recent form to the table with PGA Tour form figures of 15-3-6-MC-3 from his last 5 starts. One of the longest drivers on Tour, Fishburn’s recent improvements in approach play and with putter in hand have seen him become a regular contender. He shouldn’t fear anyone on his course debut.

Nick Dunlap (+3000)

Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook, DraftKings Sportsbook and Bet365 at time of publishing.

Another course debutant, Nick Dunlap, hasn’t played since the FedEx Cup playoffs when he was 5th at the St. Jude Championship and 31st at the BMW Championship, 2 fine efforts in elite company. While his 2 wins have come in California, Dunlap was born and raised in Alabama, which borders Mississippi, so he should relish conditions in Jackson, where his iron-play is an obvious asset.

Patton Kizzire (+8000)

Odds available at Bet365 at time of publishing.

Patton Kizzire won the Procore Championship on his last start and he looks overpriced for a quickfire double, something which he achieved when winning his first and second PGA Tour titles in November 2017 and January 2018. Kizzire has struggled at Jackson in recent seasons but he was 4th on Sanderson debut in 2015 and 10th 2 years later.

Henrik Norlander (+7000)

Odds available at Bet365 at time of publishing.

Course specialist Henrik Norlander was 4th in both 2020 and 2021 and runner-up last season. The Swede has stayed sharper than most in recent weeks, finishing 8th in the European Masters on the DP World Tour.
