Following a brief hiatus of a couple weeks, the PGA Tour calendar gets back into full swing with the 2025 Sanderson Farms Championship commencing on Thursday.

The Country Club of Jackson is the selected venue for the tournament, recognized as one of the ten most expansive courses featured on the 2025 PGA Tour schedule. Currently, the odds for the 2025 Sanderson Farms Championship position Akshay Bhatia as the frontrunner at +2000, acknowledged as the highest-ranked competitor in the field. The title defender, Kevin Yu, is presented with PGA odds of +2500, with Davis Thompson also at +2500 for potential wagers on the Sanderson Farms Championship.

2025 Sanderson Farms Championship forecasts
One significant surprise that the model foresees at the 2025 Sanderson Farms Championship involves Kevin Yu (+2500). Despite securing victory at the event the previous year with a score of 23-under-par, he is expected to falter this week and not secure a position within the top 10. This remains Yu’s singular triumph, not only on the PGA Tour, but across any professional tour globally. He has failed to make the cut in three of his most recent four tournaments and has not achieved a top-25 finish in any of his last five attempts.
Given the relatively small greens at the Country Club of Jackson, accurate putting is of utmost importance, an area where Yu has particularly struggled during 2025. He is ranked outside the top 100 in metrics such as strokes gained in putting, overall putting performance, and average putting statistics, consequently limiting opportunities for birdies. Despite his triumph at this event last year, Yu also missed the cut at the same tournament in 2023, indicating a lack of consistent performance. One should avoid being swayed by his 2024 victory and explore alternative choices for PGA wagers this week. See who else to avoid here.
Another noteworthy forecast from the model regarding the Sanderson Farms Championship points towards Emiliano Grillo, a considerable longshot at +4000 in the latest Sanderson Farms Championship odds, making a significant push for the title. The Argentinian golfer was ranked 166th globally just four months prior but has now advanced into the top 100. He has experienced a robust second segment of the 2025 PGA Tour season, highlighted by a fourth-place result in his most recent outing, a second-place finish at the John Deere Classic, and an impressive streak of four consecutive top-25 placements, including at the U.S. Open.
Grillo has also performed well in this particular event, securing 11th place the previous year and achieving a top-5 finish in 2022. Grillo blends precision off the tee, holding the 15th position on tour in driving accuracy percentage, with skilled putting on the greens. His total putting score (105.1) places him among the top 10 within the 2025 Sanderson Farms Championship field. Given that 10 players are assigned shorter PGA odds than Grillo for this event, he represents an exceptional value, suggesting that one should confidently include him in their golf wagering plans.
