The Sanderson Farms Championship is a PGA Tour professional golf event annually held in Mississippi. Early in the 2015 season, it relocated to the Country Club of Jackson in Jackson in the fall of 2014.
Since it first appeared on the PGA Tour calendar in 1968, the event has helped statewide charities by contributing more than $8.1 million. The tournament was formerly held at the Hattiesburg Country Club in Hattiesburg, but in 1994 it was transferred to the Annandale Golf Club in Madison, where it remained until 2013.
Sanderson Farms, a company that engages in poultry production and has its headquarters in Laurel, Mississippi, has been the tournament's title sponsor since 2013. Century Club Charities, Inc. (CCC), a non-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization with the goal of promoting golf for charitable causes, is the tournament's host.
Friends of Children's Hospital, which supports Batson's Children Hospital, is the main beneficiary of the Sanderson Farms Championship.
