The '''Viking Classic''' is a [[golf]] tournament on the [[PGA Tour]]. It is played annually in September in [[Madison, Mississippi]]. The tournament is held at the Annandale Golf Club. From 1968 to 1993 it was played at the Hattiesburg Country Club in [[Hattiesburg, Mississippi]].
The '''Sanderson Farms Championship''' is a professional [[golf]] tournament on the [[PGA Tour]], played annually in [[Mississippi]]. It moved to the Country Club of Jackson in [[Jackson, Mississippi|Jackson]] in autumn 2014, early in the [[2015 PGA Tour|2015]] season.


The tournament has been part of the PGA Tour schedule since [[1968 PGA Tour|1968]], and has raised more than $8.1 million for statewide charities. Originally played at the Hattiesburg Country Club in [[Hattiesburg, Mississippi|Hattiesburg]], the event moved in [[1994 PGA Tour|1994]] to [[Annandale Plantation|Annandale]] Golf Club in [[Madison, Mississippi|Madison]], which hosted through [[2013 PGA Tour|2013]].
Known as the '''Magnolia State Classic''' from 1968 through 1985 with notable winners including [[Roger Maltbie]], [[Craig Stadler]], and [[Payne Stewart]], the tournament was re-named the '''Deposit Guaranty Golf Classic''' in 1986. This tournament is usually played opposite of a major or limited field tournament, so the leading players in men's professional golf rarely participate. Until 1994, it was played opposite [[The Masters]] and then opposite the [[The Open Championship|British Open]] in the mid-90s. In recent years, it has played opposite various World Golf Championships and The Tour Championship.


Since 2013, the tournament's title sponsor has been [[Sanderson Farms]], a [[poultry farming]] corporation based in [[Laurel, Mississippi]]. The tournament's host organization, Century Club Charities, is a non-profit, tax-exempt [[501(c)(3) organization]] whose mission is promoting the game of golf for the benefit of charity. The Sanderson Farms Championship's primary charity is Friends of Children's Hospital, which benefits the Batson's Children Hospital.
It has been an official money PGA Tour event since 1994. Prior to that, it was a satellite event with the money counting but the wins counting as unofficial.


==Course==
The 2007 purse was $3,500,000, with $630,000 going to the winner. In [[2007]], it was a part of the [[PGA Tour Fall Series|Fall Series]]; most of the players in the tournament were trying to make the Top 125 on the money list and retain their tour cards, or trying for a quick two-year exemption by winning. It was played in the same week as the [[Presidents Cup]]; most of the top Tour players played in that event instead of the Viking Classic.
The Country Club of Jackson opened in 1914. It is a private club with 27 championship holes, 18 of which were re-designed by [[John Fought]] in 2008 and measure {{convert|7400|yd}} from the championship tees. Fought's layout incorporates classic [[Donald Ross (golfer)|Donald Ross]] flavor – parkland style routing with smallish, tricky greens – which range in size from {{convert|5000|to|8500|sqft}}.

==History==
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]]. Since 1986, the tournament has had several different names under title sponsorship agreements with [[AmSouth Bancorporation|Deposit Guaranty]] (1986–1998), [[American Farm Bureau Federation|Farm Bureau]] (1999–2006), [[Viking Range|Viking]] (2007–2011) and [[Sanderson Farms]] (since 2013); in 2012, it was without a title sponsor and named the '''True South Classic'''.

In the past, this tournament was generally played opposite of a [[Men's major golf championships|major]] or limited field tournament (officially termed an "alternate event" by the PGA Tour). It later became part of the [[PGA Tour Fall Series|Fall Series]], a group of events held after [[The Tour Championship]], before returning to its former status as an alternate event in 2011. In either case, the leading players in men's professional golf rarely participate. Until 1994, it was played opposite the [[Masters Tournament]] and then opposite [[The Open Championship]] in the mid-1990s. More recently, it played opposite various World Golf Championships and The Tour Championship. From 2007 to 2010, it generally played opposite the major team events involving PGA Tour players, namely the [[Ryder Cup]] and [[Presidents Cup]]. In 2011, it returned to the PGA Tour regular season opposite the British Open in July.

It has been an official money event on the PGA Tour since [[1994 PGA Tour|1994]]. Prior to that, it was a satellite event with the money counting but the wins counting as unofficial, except from 1983 to 1985, when it was instead part of the developmental [[Tournament Players Series]].

From 2007 to 2010, it was part of the Fall Series. 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. The 2007 event was played in the same week as the [[2007 Presidents Cup|Presidents Cup]]; most of the top Tour players played in that event instead of the Viking Classic. The situation was similar in 2008, with the tournament being scheduled opposite the [[2008 Ryder Cup|Ryder Cup]]. The 2009 purse was due to be $3,700,000, with $666,000 going to the winner. That year's event was also to be the first in the tournament's recent history to be the sole event on the PGA Tour schedule for that week, as it had been moved to the end of October with a scheduled finish on November 1. However, the tournament was canceled on October 31, due to unplayable conditions at the Annandale Golf Club. The event was not rescheduled.<ref name=cancel>{{cite web |url=http://www.pgatour.com/news/2009/10/31/vikingclassiccancelled.html |title=Viking Classic canceled after constant rains flood course |publisher=PGA Tour |date=October 31, 2009}}</ref> The 2010 event was again held opposite the Ryder Cup. This would be the tournament's last fall edition, as it would move into the regular season the following year. In 2013, the title sponsor changed to Sanderson Farms.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pgatour.com/news/2013/03/11/sanderson-farms.html |title=Sanderson Farms becomes 2013 title sponsor for former True South Classic |publisher=PGA Tour |date=March 11, 2013}}</ref> The tournament was not held in the 2013–14 season because of the new PGA Tour wraparound season; the 2014 tournament, part of the 2014–15 season, moved to late October and was played opposite the [[WGC-HSBC Champions]] in [[China]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pgatour.com/news/2013/09/03/sanderson-farms.html |title=Sanderson Farms renews title sponsorship of PGA Tour tournament |publisher=PGA Tour |date=September 3, 2013}}</ref>

As an alternate event, the winner did not receive an invitation to the [[Masters Tournament]], but did earn a trip to the [[PGA Championship]], a two-year PGA Tour exemption, a minimum of 24 [[OWGR]] points, and 300 FedEx Cup points. For the 2019–20 season, the tournament was upgraded from an alternate event to a full status event; it was also rescheduled to September, as the second tournament of the PGA Tour season. 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.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.clarionledger.com/story/sports/2019/01/15/sanderson-farms-championships-new-date-means-better-field-bigger-purse-pga-tour-golf-fedex-cup/2583849002/ |title=Sanderson Farms golf tournament has a new date and a huge cash prize. But that's not all. |newspaper= Mississippi Clarion Ledger |first=Tyler |last=Cleveland|date=January 15, 2019}}</ref>

The Sanderson Farms Championship is a professional golf tournament on the PGA Tour, played annually in Mississippi. It moved to the Country Club of Jackson in Jackson in autumn 2014, early in the 2015 season.

The tournament has been part of the PGA Tour schedule since 1968, and has raised more than $8.1 million for statewide charities. Originally played at the Hattiesburg Country Club in Hattiesburg, the event moved in 1994 to Annandale Golf Club in Madison, which hosted through 2013.

Since 2013, the tournament's title sponsor has been Sanderson Farms, a poultry farming corporation based in Laurel, Mississippi. The tournament's host organization, Century Club Charities, is a non-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is promoting the game of golf for the benefit of charity. The Sanderson Farms Championship's primary charity is Friends of Children's Hospital, which benefits the Batson's Children Hospital.

Course[edit]

The Country Club of Jackson opened in 1914. It is a private club with 27 championship holes, 18 of which were re-designed by John Fought in 2008 and measure 7,400 yards (6,800 m) from the championship tees. 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).

History[edit]

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. Since 1986, the tournament has had several different names under title sponsorship agreements with Deposit Guaranty (1986–1998), Farm Bureau (1999–2006), Viking (2007–2011) and Sanderson Farms (since 2013); in 2012, it was without a title sponsor and named the True South Classic.

In the past, this tournament was generally played opposite of a major or limited field tournament (officially termed an "alternate event" by the PGA Tour). It later became part of the Fall Series, a group of events held after The Tour Championship, before returning to its former status as an alternate event in 2011. In either case, the leading players in men's professional golf rarely participate. Until 1994, it was played opposite the Masters Tournament and then opposite The Open Championship in the mid-1990s. More recently, it played opposite various World Golf Championships and The Tour Championship. From 2007 to 2010, it generally played opposite the major team events involving PGA Tour players, namely the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup. In 2011, it returned to the PGA Tour regular season opposite the British Open in July.

It has been an official money event on the PGA Tour since 1994. Prior to that, it was a satellite event with the money counting but the wins counting as unofficial, except from 1983 to 1985, when it was instead part of the developmental Tournament Players Series.

From 2007 to 2010, it was part of the Fall Series. 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. The 2007 event was played in the same week as the Presidents Cup; most of the top Tour players played in that event instead of the Viking Classic. The situation was similar in 2008, with the tournament being scheduled opposite the Ryder Cup. The 2009 purse was due to be $3,700,000, with $666,000 going to the winner. That year's event was also to be the first in the tournament's recent history to be the sole event on the PGA Tour schedule for that week, as it had been moved to the end of October with a scheduled finish on November 1. However, the tournament was canceled on October 31, due to unplayable conditions at the Annandale Golf Club. The event was not rescheduled.[1] The 2010 event was again held opposite the Ryder Cup. This would be the tournament's last fall edition, as it would move into the regular season the following year. In 2013, the title sponsor changed to Sanderson Farms.[2] The tournament was not held in the 2013–14 season because of the new PGA Tour wraparound season; the 2014 tournament, part of the 2014–15 season, moved to late October and was played opposite the WGC-HSBC Champions in China.[3]

As an alternate event, the winner did not receive an invitation to the Masters Tournament, but did earn a trip to the PGA Championship, a two-year PGA Tour exemption, a minimum of 24 OWGR points, and 300 FedEx Cup points. For the 2019–20 season, the tournament was upgraded from an alternate event to a full status event; it was also rescheduled to September, as the second tournament of the PGA Tour season. 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.[4]

Over the years, the Sanderson Farms Championship has been played opposite a number of different tournaments:

Year(s) Tournament
2014–2018 WGC-HSBC Champions
1994–1998, 2011–2013 The Open Championship
2008, 2010 Ryder Cup
2007 Presidents Cup
2003–2004, 2006 WGC-American Express Championship
1999–2002, 2005 Tour Championship
1969–1993 Masters Tournament
1968 Colonial National Invitation
