Posted by Bill Osborne on Aug 04, 2016
Steve Jent, the Director of the Sanderson Farms Golf Golf Championship, spoke to the Rotary Club of North Jackson at its August 2, 2016 meeting about the Golf Tournament, which will be held at the County Club of Jackson, October 24 - October 30, 2016. Per Mr. Jent, 132 players are expected to compete for the $4.2 million total purse of which the champion will get 18% or $756,000. Mr. Jent discussed Sanderson Farms commitment to the tournament for the next 10 years and the fact that the tournament raises about $1.5 million for the Batson Children's Hospital via Century Club Charities.
Mr. Jent said that the tournament was moved to October this year to avoid being held after the change from daylight savings time to standard time, which occurs the first Sunday of November 2016. He also discussed the changes that the Country Club of Jackson is making to the course this year to make it more challenging for the pros, in particular to hole 12.
