After a two-week break, the PGA Tour schedule officially resumes with the 2025 Sanderson Farms Championship beginning on Thursday. If recent history is any indication, then fans can expect a closely contested Sanderson Farms Championship 2025 as the last six editions of this event have been decided by either one stroke or a playoff. Low scores may also be in store as those six tournaments have seen the winner post an average score of nearly 20-under-par.

The Country Club of Jackson hosts the tournament, and it’s one of the 10 longest courses on the 2025 PGA Tour schedule. The latest 2025 Sanderson Farms Championship odds have Akshay Bhatia as the +2000 favorite, as he’s the top-ranked player in the field. Defending tournament winner, Kevin Yu, has +2500 PGA odds, with Davis Thompson at +2500 to use in Sanderson Farms Championship bets.

2025 Sanderson Farms Championship predictions 

One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2025 Sanderson Farms Championship: Kevin Yu (+2500), who won this event last year at 23-under-par, stumbles this week and doesn’t crack the top 10. That remains the only win for Yu, not only on the PGA Tour, but on any professional tour around the world. He has missed the cut in three of his last four tournaments and has no top-25 finishes over each of his last five starts.

With smallish greens at Country Club of Jackson, putting is at a premium, and that’s where Yu has struggled the most in 2025. He ranks outside the top 100 in strokes gained: putting, total putting and overall putting average, which limits birdie opportunities. Even with his victory here last year, Yu missed the cut at this event in 2023, so he doesn’t exactly have consistency on his side. One shouldn’t get enamored with his 2024 win and look for other options with PGA bets this week. See who else to fade here, and then use FanDuel to get $300 in bonus bets instantly. 

Another one of the model’s surprising Sanderson Farms Championship picks: Emiliano Grillo, a +4000 longshot in the latest Sanderson Farms Championship odds, makes a strong run at the title. The Argentinian was ranked No. 166 in the world just four months ago but is now in the top 100. He’s had a strong second half of the 2025 PGA Tour season that included a fourth-place finish in his last start, a runner-up at the John Deere Classic and a string of four straight top-25s, including at the U.S. Open.

Grillo’s also had recent success at this event, placing 11th last year and notching a top-5 finish in 2022. Grillo combines precision off the tee, ranking 15th on tour in driving accuracy percentage, with a nice touch on the greens. His total putting (105.1) ranks among the top 10 in the Sanderson Farms Championship 2025 field. There being 10 players with shorter PGA odds than Grillo for this event makes him a steal, as you shouldn’t hesitate to insert him into your golf bets. See who else to pick here.
