One of the most obscure trophies is presented on the PGA Tour this week, at the Sanderson Farms Championship.

The rooster-shaped trophy will be handed to the winner of the second event in the Fall Series, set to take place in Mississippi.

As usual, 500 FedEx Cup points are also up for grabs.

Some big names have lifted the title in the event’s history, including Sergio Garcia in 2020. The Spaniard remains the most recent European in the honours list since Luke Donald in 2002.

It was called the Southern Farm Bureau Classic when the Ryder Cup captain came out on top and isn’t a stranger to a title sponsor change.

The tournament was originally called the Magnolia Classic between 1968 and 1985 and had a $20,000 prize fund in its inaugural year.

Fast forward over five decades, and the prize purse for this week sits at a healthy $7.6 million.

Defending champion Luke List will return to Jackson, while Mackenzie Hughes heads an international contingent fresh from the Presidents Cup,

Nick Dunlap 35/1

The 20-year-old is already a two-time winner on Tour this season and was competing against much stronger fields than this through the FedEx Cup play-offs. After over a month off, Dunlap’s power off the tee and birdie scoring can keep him near the pace all week.
