How can fans watch the Sanderson Farms Championship? Here is the one-stop shop for fans to watch the second PGA Tour Fall series event.
Fall golf can finally take over as the Ryder Cup is in the rearview. This week, the PGA Tour is in Jackson, Mississippi, for the Sanderson Farms Championship.
It’s the second PGA Tour Fall Series event as players continue to fight for 2024 status.

Sanderson Farms Championship Preview
Another PGA Tour Fall series is here, and it has drawn in some strong names. These players are fighting for one of the 125 full-status spots in 2024. Those who finish between 51 and 60 in the fall will qualify for two Signature events: AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and the Genesis Invitational.
Headlining the field this week is Emiliano Grillo, who ranks No. 35 in the Official World Golf Rankings. He is also the only player to qualify for the Tour Championship that chose to play. Last year, Grillo finished T5 at this event and won the Charles Schwab Challenge.
Joining him is Ludvig Aberg, who is coming off a solid rookie Ryder Cup finish. He helped lead the Europeans to a 16.5-11.5 victory over the United States. Aberg posted a 2-2-0 record, securing two points for Team Europe, including a historic 9 & 7 win with Viktor Hovland in foursomes over Brooks Koepka and Scottie Scheffler.
The Swedish golfer is in prime form, eying his first PGA Tour victory. He has made six of seven cuts thus far.
Defending champion Mackenzie Hughes is also in the field. He defeated Sepp Straka last year in a playoff to win his second PGA Tour event. Hughes could become the first to win this event in back-to-back years. He played in the first fall event, the Fortinet Championship, where he finished T52.
This event will be a prime opportunity for someone to earn FedEx Cup points and potentially full-time status.
