The PGA Tour continued this week with the Sanderson Farms Championship, which was won by Steven Fisk.

Tom Kim returned to form at the Sanderson Farms Championship, but it was American Fisk who emerged victorious.

Fisk claimed his first PGA Tour win at the tournament, where he claimed a two-stroke win after finishing on 24-under.

Garrick Higgo finished as runner-up, with Rasmus Hojgaard in a tie for third just a week after helping Europe win the Ryder Cup.

The Country Club of Jackson hosted the latest PGA Tour event, but there are fears for its future, which Fisk addressed right after his win.

Steven Fisk suggests change to PGA Tour schedule in 2026 which ‘stinks’

Fisk was reminded by reporters of the speculation that he may have won the last Sanderson Farms Championship, given that it’s the final year Sanderson Farms will be the title sponsor of the event.

He replied: “I think Sanderson Farms did a great job this week. It’s obviously the only year I’ve been here, but in my opinion, it was a first-class event on a great golf course that provided a really good test for us. To them, thank you very much for being here this year.

“If it is the last one, that stinks, but hopefully everybody had a good time today with how everything finished.”

Steven Fisk shares verdict on the Country Club of Jackson after winning the Sanderson Farms Championship

It would indeed be a shame if the Sanderson Farms Championship was no more, particularly for champion Fisk.

He will now have unforgettable memories from the tournament, with his victory also earning him a two-year PGA Tour exemption through 2027.

Also asked what it was like to play the course at the Country Club of Jackson, he said: “This one was really nice honestly.

“It’s really important to hit fairways out there because, if you hit it in the rough, you can’t get any spin on it, and then it’s hard to hold those greens with how windy it was.

“It’s funny, my caddie and I were chatting on the back nine today about how great of a course it would be to play every day and be a member at because it’s got some variety, it’s got a bunch of par-5s that you can kind of get to. It’s got some interesting holes. So it was a really good test.”

The 2026 PGA Tour schedule incidentally has been confirmed, with a new Signature Event among its changes.

For now, however, focus turns to the Baycurrent Classic at Yokohama Country Club for the latest event of the 2025 FedExCup Fall schedule.
