Before I dive into my Draftkings player selections for this tournament let’s review the golf course the field will play and the key player statistics that I think are the most vital to a golfer’s success at this week’s 2025 Sanderson Farms Championship.

I wanted to emphasize that the purpose of this article is not to provide an exact DFS lineup.

Sanderson Farms Championship Draftkings Picks

Min Woo Lee $9,800

The talented Australian arrives at this week’s event on the heels of two consecutive top 11 finishes on the DP World Tour, including a fifth-place result at the 2025 FedEx Open de France two weeks ago.

Due to Min Woo Lee’s quality finish at the 2025 FedEx Open de France, I decided to take a hard look at the relevant player statistics for the event to determine how Lee fared relative to the field.

Upon the completion of four rounds of competitive play at the 2025 FedEx Open de France, in relation to the field, Min Woo Lee ranked 11th in GIR (greens in regulation-76.39%), first in strokes gained tee to green (2.56), 17th in strokes gained approach (1.07), fifth in par four scoring average (3.86), seventh in bogey avoidance (8) and tenth in total birdies made (19).

What did we learn from the data just presented? Min Woo Lee is currently playing golf at a high-level on the DP World Tour. With that said, I fully expect that trend to continue at this week’s 2025 Sanderson Farms Championship.

Emiliano Grillo $9,300

Emiliano Grillo has tallied two top 20 finishes in his last four events played on the PGA Tour, including a fourth-place result at the 2025 Procore Championship earlier this month.

It is noteworthy that Emiliano Grillo has played well at the Country Club of Jackson in the past. Grillo finished fifth at the 2022 Sanderson Farms Championship.

Rico Hoey $9,000

Rico Hoey has amassed three top 11 finishes in his last six tournaments played on the PGA Tour, including an 11th-place result at the 2025 Barracuda Championship in July.

Sami Valimaki has accumulated two top eight finishes in his last three events played on the DP World Tour, including an impressive second place result at the 2025 Omega European Masters four weeks ago.
