Looking for 2017 Sanderson Farms Championship picks, either for betting or fantasy golf games like DraftKings, FanDuel, Yahoo, Golf Channel or the PGA Tour?
We have your 2017 Sanderson Farms Championship rankings and expert picks, as we do each week of the PGA Tour season.
While the Asian swing wraps up in China, the Sanderson Farms Championship is played as the opposite-field event in Jackson, Miss. Country Club of Jackson offers a variety of long par 4s and plenty of chances for aggression. Young guys have been on a mini-run in this event, as there have been a few surprise winners (Nick Taylor, Peter Malnati, Cody Gribble) the last three years.
For those new to our weekly picks, we offer our top 10 players for free. GNN Plus members get additional analysis and research otherwise hidden to the general public, and that's in addition to access to a searchable database of PGA Tour results from 2011-present, top-15 PGA Tour trends and season-long DraftKings salary trends.

2017 Sanderson Farms Championship rankings: Top 10 picks
1. Chesson Hadley - Chessie has to be in prime position after finishing T-3 in the Safeway Open and killing it in the Web.com Tour Finals.
2. William McGirt - McGirt hasn't played since the playoffs, where he was OK. He has a good record in this event, and his experience is meaningful.
3. Kevin Streelman - Streelman has missed just one PGA Tour cut since the Wells Fargo in May. His T-13 at the Safeway is a good indicator, too.
4. Jason Kokrak - Kokrak has made five cuts in a row, including a solid T-17 at the Safeway to kick off the season.
5. Andrew Landry - Landry was T-7 at the Safeway, a resumption of form from the Web.com Tour season he kinda lost knowing he had card in hand.
6. Keith Mitchell - Yeah, a MC at the Safeway, but Mitchell has been strong since late August. Hard to throw that away. A break should help.
7. Chris Kirk - Kirk is big man on campus at this tournament, but his recent results haven't been special. He's been OK of late, but he is coming from Korea, which is a concern.
8. Richy Werenski - Werenski has made seven cuts in a row on the PGA Tour, including a P2 at Reno and a T-10 at the Wyndham to save his card.
9. Austin Cook - Cook was a stud throughout the Web.com Tour season, and he finished strong. Seems ripe to be the Young Guy who wins this.
10. Jonathan Byrd - Byrd hasn't played since winning the Web.com Tour Championship. He doesn't seem to do well playing lots of weeks in a row, but when he's rested, he seems potent.
My DraftKings lineup for this week:
- Kevin Streelman - $9,700
- Austin Cook - $9,300
- Richy Werenski - $8,100
- Keith Mitchell - $7,600
- Denny McCarthy - $7,600
- Martin Piller - $7,000
