Mark your calendars as the Sanderson Farms Championship has announced that fans will return for 2021.�
After the COVID-19 pandemic forced the 2020 tournament to be played without fans in attendance, spectators will once again be able to line the course at the Jackson Country Club for this year�s tournament which is set for September 27�October 3.
�We�re excited to welcome back our fans to the Sanderson Farms Championship,� Steve Jent, Executive Director, said. �Last year we really missed the energy our spectators create, and I�m certain this year�s field will once again be one of the best we�ve hosted. We will continue to monitor the situation with COVID-19 very closely, and our planning is guided with the health and safety of everyone involved in the tournament as our highest priority.�
The announcement was made by Century Club Charities, the organization behind the tournament that, despite the absence of fans in 2020, was able to deliver a record $1.45 million to Friends of Children�s Hospital to benefit Blair E. Batson Children�s Hospital.�
�We are back and look forward to your being part of what is sure to be an exciting week with 144 of the PGA�s TOUR best professional golfers competing in the Sanderson Farms Championship,� said Pat Busby, President of Century Club Charities. �The total stand-alone event purse has increased to $7 million in 2021; and coupled with a Masters Tournament invitation and 500 FedExCup points, the schedule provides a fantastic opportunity for players to get off to a fast start in the 2021-22 FedExCup. Despite the difficult decision to play the 2020 tournament without spectators due to COVID-19-related precautions, Century Club Charities remains committed to helping Mississippi charities that depend on the tournament to support their annual operations in 2021.�
All tickets will once again be digital this year and all on-site transactions will be contactless.
