The Sanderson Farms Championship is a professional golf tournament on the PGA Tour, played annually in Mississippi.

The tournament has been part of the PGA Tour schedule since 1968, and has raised more than $8.1 million for statewide charities.

Fought's layout incorporates classic Donald Ross flavor – parkland style routing with smallish, tricky greens – which range in size from 5,000 to 8,500 square feet (460 to 790 m2).

The tournament was founded as the Magnolia Classic in 1968 and retained that title through 1985, with notable winners including Roger Maltbie, Craig Stadler, and Payne Stewart.

In 2011, it returned to the PGA Tour regular season opposite the British Open in July.

Because the FedEx Cup season championship was already determined by that time, elite players generally passed on Fall Series events; most players in the tournament were trying to either make the Top 125 on the money list and retain their tour cards, or earn a quick two-year exemption by winning.

Along with an increased prize fund, the changed of status meant the winner receives the full benefits of a regular PGA Tour event, with 500 FedEx Cup points and an invitation to The Masters.
