Kevin Yu Looks to Repeat
Kevin Yu returns to defend his title after claiming his first PGA TOUR victory at the 2024 Sanderson Farms Championship, defeating Beau Hossler in a playoff. Yu is attempting to become the first player in more than 50 years to win the event in consecutive seasons.
Yu has had strong results in 2025, including a third-place finish at the RBC Canadian Open and fourth at the ONEFlight Myrtle Beach Classic, narrowly missing playoffs both times. He also made the FedExCup Playoffs for the first time in his career, finishing T32 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Currently 65th in the FedExCup standings, Yu is on track to stay inside the top 100 and retain his PGA TOUR card for next season.
Last PGA TOUR event in Mississippi?
This is the final year for Sanderson Farms as the tournament’s title sponsor. The company has supported the event since 2013 and had originally planned to step down after last year, but they had a last-minute change of heart and agreed to sponsor the tournament. Following this year’s event, the 13-year partnership will come to an end, despite their original contract running through 2026. Tournament director Steve Jent now faces the task of finding a new sponsor for 2026 and beyond, making the coming months crucial for the long-term future of the Sanderson Farms Championship.

Course/ Tournament History:
In 2013, the tournament secured its title sponsor, Sanderson Farms, a poultry company based in Mississippi, which helped solidify its future on the PGA Tour. This partnership significantly raised the profile of the event, and in 2019, the Sanderson Farms Championship was elevated to a full FedExCup points event and also rescheduled to September, as the second tournament of the PGA Tour season. This upgrade meant the winner would receive a Masters Tournament invitation, which further boosted the tournament’s prestige and drew a stronger field of competitors. The event has also become known for its philanthropic efforts, with proceeds benefiting the Friends of Children’s Hospital, a non-profit supporting pediatric care in Mississippi.
The Country Club of Jackson has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1914. Located in the capital city of Mississippi, the club was established to provide a premier recreational and social venue for the community. Originally, the club featured a nine-hole golf course, which was later expanded as the club grew in size and reputation. Over the years, the Country Club of Jackson has undergone several renovations and enhancements to maintain its status as one of the top golf and country clubs in the region. In the mid-1960s, the course was completely redesigned by prominent golf course architect Dick Wilson, whose work brought a modern flair to the club’s layout.

Course Guide/ Scorecard:
The Country Club of Jackson, designed by Dick Wilson, is a par-72 that presents a balanced test with four par 3s, ten par 4s, and four par 5s. The Dogwood-Azalea course at the Country Club of Jackson was designed by John Fought and Mike Gogel. “Dogwood” refers to the front nine and “Azalea” refers to the back nine.
The Country Club of Jackson measures 7,461 yards, making it the 15th longest course on the PGA TOUR this season but doesn’t play it’s true distance as longer hitters can cut corners and take more agressive lines on certain dog-legs. The fairways are narrow, averaging 29 yards wide, ranking among the 7th narrowest on TOUR, but accuracy off the tee is essential as the rough isn’t all that penal. The greens are smaller than the PGA TOUR average at around 6,200 square feet, putting a premium on precise approach shots. With only 56 bunkers—the 9th fewest on TOUR— and water only coming into play on 5 holes – the 7th fewest on TOUR – hazards are less of a factor here.
The four par 3s at The Country Club of Jackson range from 168 to 223 yards, placing a premium on precision and smart club selection. In last year’s Sanderson Farms Championship, only one hole, No. 10, played over par. on average.
Hole 7 | Par 3 | 214 Yards | 2024 Stroke Average: 2.993 (Difficulty Rank – 5)
Players have a fairly straightforward long iron into this green. However, a miss long or right can make for a difficult up and down. A par on this hole is a good score, and it had a scoring average over par last year.
Hole 13 | Par 3 | 168 Yards | 2024 Stroke Average: 2.924 (Difficulty Rank – 8)
While this is the shortest hole on the course, swirling winds come into play and can knock a high iron down. The green is protected by two front bunkers and one hidden over the left side.
The Country Club of Jackson features ten par 4s, most of which fall between 400 and 450 yards. Strategy plays a major role, particularly on holes that offer tempting risk-reward opportunities. In 2024, the two toughest par 4s were No, 16, No. 6, and No. 18, the only Par 4’s to play over par.
Hole 8 | Par 4 | 403 Yards | 2024 Stroke Average: 3.889 (Difficulty Rank – 11)
Is a dog-leg left where an accurate tee shot is crucial. Since it’s only 400 yards, most players will club down here and try to avoid the creek runs along the hole on the left side. On a player’s approach shot, they’ll have to navigate the two bunkers that protect the green in the front.
Hole 16 | Par 4 | 479 Yards | 2024 Stroke Average: 4.104 (Difficulty Rank – 1)
This is the signature hole on the course and will require two demanding shots. A swamp runs along the entire left side of the hole and crosses the fairway approximately 80 yards from the hole. If players choose the “bailout” option trees come into play and are forced to hit towards the water on their approach. In addition to the swamp on the left, the green is protected by a large bunker on the right.
There are four Par 5’s on the course: No. 3, No. 5, No. 11, and No. 14. All of these holes had a scoring average under par in 2024. No. 3 was the easiest Par 5 on the course last year with a scoring average of 0.453 below par.
Hole 5 | Par 5 | 612 Yards | 2024 Stroke Average: 4.587 (Difficulty Rank – 16)
This is the longest hole on the course and the toughest of the Par 5’s. Off the tee, players will try to navigate their ball between two fairway bunkers, putting them in position to try and go for it in two. If they do try and reach the green in two, they cannot miss short-left as a pond comes into play. The green itself is surrounded by multiple bunkers as well.
Hole 14 | Par 5 | 584 Yards | 2024 Stroke Average: 4.681 (Difficulty Rank – 15)
Players will need an accurate tee shot off the tee. The left side is woodlands, while on the right side, trees can come into play. Even if they do find the fairway, they can end up in one of the fairway bunkers. On their approach shot, they’ll have to avoid the two front bunkers.
Featured/ Signature Hole(s): 16

- At The Country Club of Jackson, a high volume of approach shots land in the 100-to-150-yard range, with a smaller but still meaningful share coming from beyond 200 yards.

2020: Sergio Garcia
- Tournament Debut
Outright Picks:
Michael Thorbjornsen (+2200) – DraftKings
Thorbjornsen opened the season with some struggles but has found consistency since late April. Over his last six starts, he has recorded four finishes of T21 or better, including a T4 at the Rocket Classic, a strong comp course for this week, and a T13 at the Procore Championship to start the FedExCup Fall.
He teed it up at this event last season and placed T8 despite ranking 59th in SG: Approach. Since then, his iron play has made clear progress, gaining strokes in seven of his last ten starts and in each of his last two. His distance off the tee continues to give him an edge, and the putter has come around after early-season struggles. He has gained strokes on the greens in five of his last seven starts, and at this event a year ago he ranked 7th in SG: Putting.
Min Woo Lee (+2200) – DraftKings
Min Woo Lee earned his first PGA TOUR victory earlier this season at Memorial Park, a course that sets up similarly to this week’s test. After that breakthrough, his form cooled, with just one top-20 finish in his next ten starts. Recently, though, he has shown signs of regaining momentum. Competing on the DP World Tour after the TOUR Championship, Lee finished T11 at the BMW PGA Championship and followed it up with a T5 at the Open de France.
Those performances were fueled by sharper approach play and improved putting, two key areas for success at the Sanderson Farms. Lee’s length off the tee remains a major weapon, and with confidence building again, he looks poised for a strong debut at this event. The fact that he won the Texas Children’s Houston Open in his first appearance there also adds another layer of optimism.
Max Homa (+4000) – DraftKings
Max Homa will want to put the 2025 season behind him after managing only two top 20 finishes. Still, there are signs his game is starting to turn. At the first event of the FedExCup Fall, he finished T19 while gaining strokes in nearly every category.
Iron play has been the biggest concern for Homa this year, but he has gained on approach in each of his last six starts. Off the tee, he has also shown progress, gaining in four straight events thanks to improved accuracy. The putter has been steady overall, and when it spikes he tends to post strong results, as seen at both the Masters and the Procore Championship.
With his ball striking trending in the right direction and facing a weaker field this week, Homa has the potential to contend.
Patrick Fishburn (+6000) – FanDuel
Patrick Fishburn missed out on the FedExCup Playoffs, largely because of a slow start to the year, but he closed the season with encouraging form. He posted three top-20 finishes in his final six starts and added a T38 at the Procore Championship to open the FedExCup Fall.
His irons have been inconsistent overall but have shown improvement in recent weeks, and his putting has followed the same trend in a positive direction. While his accuracy off the tee has dipped, the raw distance he possesses is a key asset on this course.
If Fishburn can keep the putter rolling and continue the recent progress with his approach play, he has the upside to contend at a number like this.
Matti Schmid (+8000) – BetMGM
Matti Schmid has missed the cut in each of his last two DP World Tour starts, but he still rates well in the key areas of my model this week. His overall form is not as poor as those results suggest, though his iron play has lacked consistency and will be the main factor in determining his ceiling.
On the positive side, Schmid’s putting has been steady, and his distance off the tee gives him the ability to keep up on this course. He has also shown he can find success here before, finishing T16 at the Country Club of Jackson last year.
If he can dial in the irons, Schmid has the tools to outperform his odds.
Top 20 (Including Ties):
Nicolai Hojgaard (+160) – BetMGM
Emiliano Grillo (+160) – BetMGM

NHL Future Picks – Metropolitan Division
The Metropolitan Division should be one of the most compelling in the 2025-26 NHL season. Between Stanley Cup contenders like Carolina, rising playoff hopefuls, and teams still finding their identity, the division sets up plenty of intriguing betting opportunities.
In this article, I’ll share my favorite futures bets for the Metropolitan Division.
New York Rangers
Adam Fox over 70+ Points (+165) – FanDuel
Adam Fox enters his seventh NHL season looking to bounce back after a down year in 2024-25. Despite battling injuries, he still produced 61 points (10 goals, 51 assists) in 74 games. In the three seasons prior, Fox posted 73, 72, and 74 points, proving his consistency as one of the league’s elite offensive defensemen.
This season, Fox will be paired with Vladislav Gavrikov, a steady stay-at-home blueliner who should free him up to drive the offense even more. If he can stay relatively healthy, Fox has an excellent chance to clear the 70-point mark, a milestone he’s hit in three of the past four seasons.
Philadelphia Flyers
Matvei Michkov over 70+ Points (+115) – FanDuel
Matvei Michkov enters his second NHL season after an impressive rookie year where he posted 63 points (26 goals, 37 assists) in 80 games. It wasn’t all smooth sailing, as his offensive style often clashed with former head coach John Tortorella, who was let go late in the season. After the coaching change, Michkov took off, recording 12 points in just 9 games.
This year, Michkov is projected to skate on the Flyers’ second line alongside Owen Tippett and newly acquired Trevor Zegras. Zegras brings a much-needed offensive boost to a Philadelphia team that ranked 24th in goals per game and 30th on the power play last season. His arrival should open up more scoring opportunities for Michkov at even strength and with the man advantage.
With Zegras in the mix and Rick Tocchet stepping in behind the bench, Michkov is in a strong position to build on his rookie totals and clear the 70-point mark in his sophomore campaign.
Pittsburgh Penguins
Sidney Crosby over 84.5 Points (-115) – DraftKings/ 90+ Points (+210) – FanDuel

🧠 Prediction
Prediction:
This should be a great game of undefeated teams, but the numbers do not seem to be adding up. I can’t understand why the Eagles are laying this road chalk. I know that they are the super bowl champs, but their numbers have been very average thus far. Philadelphia has gotten by with some close wins. They only ranks 12th in offensive EPA, and 16th on defense. The Buccaneers rank 5th and 12th respectively. Now we know of the Mike Evans injury, and it could affect the home pirates, but this team should be getting Chris Godwin back, and combined with Emeka Egbuka, I believe that they will be able to move the ball deep. I also like the fact that left tackle Tristan Wirfs should be back and ready to play. The Eagles have a few injury issues on their own with their top CB Adorree Jackson being out. There is still no LB Nakobe Dean to anchor in the middle of this defense. The Eagles do not care to win by Margin, and I think the Bucs are live here. Super Bowl hangover says bet the Buccaneers.
Buccaneers +3.5

Prediction:
This may be the real game of the week with apologies to the SEC. It just depends upon how close this outcome actually is. I am not going to lie, I am disappointed that this spread isn’t double digits right now. I was hoping it would go back to 13 or so, but it goes to show you that this Husky team is for real. In saying that, my number is pretty close to this. I also do not know what I am getting from young Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin on the road. Same situation as all these young quarterbacks. It is usually a fade spot, but Ohio State is a powerful team. The Buckeye’s rank 6th in offensive success rate and 22nd in offensive EPA. They also have the best defense in college football, but the schedule of offenses has been pretty week thus far. The Huskies on the other end of things have a powerful offense themselves. Led by quarterback Demond Williams, this Husky team ranks 6th in QBR, 3rd in offensive EPA, and 9th in yards per play at 7.92. Another thing that we know is that Washington’s defense has been suspect. This team has had themselves a pretty easy schedule, yet they only rank 43rd in success rate and 55th in EPA. Looking at all of this, I like the over. I think that both teams will be very hard to stop when the ball is moving down field. Right now, Washington is 3-0 to the over, and I think that this trend continues. Worst case scenario, if this is an Ohio State blowout, I think that they might be able to cover this total mostly themselves. Take the over for now unless this spread crawls back up.
Over 52.5 – 2 stars
USC vs Illinois +7 O/U 59.5
- The best sports bettors look for spots where the public is down on a team, and there is some perceived value in the line. This week, there is no better game than USC vs Illinois for this type of spot. This line was USC -1.5 only a week ago.
- Did Illinois get their asses handed to them last week at Indiana? Absolutely, but that doesn’t mean that USC should be playing these kind of road points.
- No team is as good or as bad as they were the week before. USC is coming into this game on long travel and in a much different time slot at 9:00AM pacific time. I doubt these kids are even up for class yet.
- The Trojans haven’t played anybody before Michigan State, and what I saw was a defense that allows yards and points. The Trojans defensive success rate ranks 53rd in the nation, while their rushing success rate is 93rd.
- As bad as Illinois has looked, they at least played tougher teams against a Western Michigan team that just beat Tulane. They had to go to Duke to bludgeon them, and they faced a top 10 team in Indiana. USC has played Missouri State, Georgia Southern, and one of the worst big 10 teams in Purdue before Sparty at home.
- This will be USC’s first real road test in Champaign, and I think that things can go wrong for quarterback Jayden Maiava. This line was around +2.5 or +3 the week before. This is a huge overreaction at 7. Take the points.
Illinois +7 – 2 stars

College Football Friday Freebie – Florida State vs Virginia – Sports Betting
Florida State vs Virginia +7 O/U 60
- This fun friday game caught my eye. Ok, what do we really know about Florida State?
- Well, the beat Alabama pretty good on week 1. Then they played two tomato cans that are probably more like artichoke cans. Tomato cans are too good to describe Kent State.
- Look, we still haven’t seen Florida State and Tommy Castellanos on the road. That is a major concern to me when ranking this team.
- Now I am not saying that Virginia has had a good schedule themselves, but what I do know is that they have a pretty solid offense.
- The Wahoos are averaging 7.7 yards per play. They should have beaten NC State on the road, and ended up choking the game away.
- Alabama was the big opponent against Florida State, but we also know that they dropped a ton of passes from week one, and it was Ty Simpson’s first big road start. Maybe in Alabama, this game goes differently.
- Virginia’s offense ranks 26th in EPA and 16th in yards per play. Their defense isn’t great, but it at least ranks 29th in EPA on an easy schedule. My power ratings have this number at 6.5, and I think that this would be a huge win for the Wahoos if they can get it done.
Virginia +7 – 2.5 stars
