The PGA Tour returns after a three week hiatus, featuring a mix of seasoned professionals and rookies competing for the title at the Sanderson Farms Championship. Who will emerge as the winner in Mississippi this weekend?

Kevin Yu returns to defend his title after a playoff victory over Beau Hossler in 2024.

Past Major winners in the field include Francesco Molinari and Zach Johnson. Previous champions of this tournament are also competing: Luke List, Mackenzie Hughes, Cameron Champ, Ryan Armour, Peter Malnati, and Scott Stallings.

These are our four selections that could win the title this weekend.

Akshay Bhatia

Akshay Bhatia has been in solid form on the PGA Tour since the end of July, placing T25 at the 3M Open, W/D from the Wyndham Championship, T26 at the BMW Championship, T13 at the Tour Championship, and T11 at the Procore Championship.

Other notable results achieved by Bhatia this season include a T22 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, a T9 at the Genesis Invitational, a 9th at the Mexico Open, a T3 at the Players Championship, a T22 at the Charles Schwab Challenge, and a T16 at the Memorial Tournament.

The two-time PGA Tour winner missed the cut in 2019 before finishing T43 in 2023 at the Sanderson Farms Championship.

Bhatia has posted solid results during the latter half of the year and can go all the way at the Country Club of Jackson this weekend.

Michael Thorbjornsen

Michael Thorbjornsen has been performing well on the PGA Tour lately, placing T4 at the Rocket Classic, T21 at the John Deere Classic, T14 at the ISCO Championship, MC at the 3M Open, T38 at the Wyndham Championship, and T13 at the Procore Championship.

Additional highlights achieved by Thorbjornsen this year include a T4 at the Corales Puntacana Championship and a T4 at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

The American golfer placed T8 at the 2024 Sanderson Farms Championship on debut.

Thorbjornsen has threatened to produce a top result lately and should enter calculations in Mississippi.

Min Woo Lee

Min Woo Lee has regained his touch on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour lately, placing T13 at the Rocket Classic, MC at the Open Championship, T68 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, T11 at the BMW PGA Championship, and T5 at the FedEx Open de France

Other prominent performances achieved by Min Woo Lee this season include a T15 at the BMW Australian PGA Championship, a T17 at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, a T17 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, a T12 at the WM Phoenix Open, a T11 at the Cognizant Classic, a T20 at the Players Championship, and victory at the Texas Children's Houston Open.

The Australian is debuting at the 2025 Sanderson Farms Championship this weekend.

Min Woo Lee has been playing good golf lately and can secure victory at the Country Club of Jackson this Sunday.

Rico Hoey

Rico Hoey has been in decent nick on the PGA Tour since the beginning of July, placing T11 at the John Deere Classic, T34 at the ISCO Championship, T8 at the Barracuda Championship, T57 at the 3M Open, T67 at the Wyndham Championship, and T9 at the Procore Championship

Other noteworthy results achieved by Hoey this year include a T11 at the Texas Children's Houston Open, a T12 at the Corales Puntacana Championship, and a T7 at the Myrtle Beach Classic.

The 30-year-old finished T68 at the 2024 Sanderson Farms Championship on debut.

Hoey has been in better shape lately and is the long-shot value bet in Mississippi this weekend.

Verdict

Bhatia has played well recently and will fancy his chances of winning the Sanderson Farms Championship this weekend.

Thorbjornsen has been thereabouts of late and offers excellent value in Mississippi.

Min Woo Lee can make his presence felt at the Country Club of Jackson after his recent results.

Hoey has the form to be a threat around the greens this weekend.
