JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – The 2024 Sanderson Farms Championship is expected to rake in big bucks for the state of Mississippi.

Golfers from across the world have traveled to the capital city to compete in this year’s tournament at the Country Club of Jackson.

“I enjoy coming to Jackson, the local food. I know the players really enjoy this area. They really enjoy coming here. The golf course is always in great shape, and they enjoy playing it,” said Mark G. with Foresight Sports.

From shopping to dining, the overall economic impact is expected to be around $30 million for the week. The tournament raises funds for Friends of Children’s Hospital, which is a nonprofit organization benefiting Children’s of Mississippi.

“Every county in the state has a child that’s been served by Children’s of Mississippi last year, over 200,000 patients at that hospital. So, the money that we raise this week really impacts children in every corner of our state,” said Steve Jen, executive director of Century Club Charities.

The tournament will conclude on Sunday, October 6. For mobile tickets, visit the ticket link at the Sanderson Farms Championship website.
