The Southern Farm Bureau 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.

The 2006 purse is $3,000,000, with $540,000 going to the winner. The tournament was elevated as a PGA Tour event in 1986 as the Deposit Guaranty Golf Classic. It was previously played as the Magnolia State Classic from 1968 through 1985 and had such notable winners as Roger Maltbie, Craig Stadler, and Payne Stewart. This tournament is usually played opposite of a major or limited field tournament, so the strongest players rarely participate. Until 1994, it was played opposite to The Masters and then opposite the British Open in the mid-90s. In recent years, it has played opposite to various World Golf Championships and The Tour Championship.
