With the Ryder Cup in the rearview, the PGA Tour Fall Series resumes this week with the 2023 Sanderson Farms Championship, and we’re picking a recent PGA Tour winner as our long shot. Here’s our pick, the Sanderson Farms Championship odds, betting favorites and everything else you need to know for the week.

Sanderson Farms Championship odds: Long-shot bet

For the first PGA Tour event of October, and one of the last tournaments of the 2022-23 season, we’re eyeing Akshay Bhatia at +5000 as our best long-shot option.

Bhatia had a breakthrough season on the course in 2023, collecting four top-10s. But, most importantly, he captured his first-career PGA Tour win at the Barracuda Championship in July.

Tour Confidential: Europe’s Ryder Cup secret, team MVPs, a curious hat controversy

At that start, Bhatia cruised past a field that was missing many of the biggest PGA Tours who were playing the Open Championship that week.

Bhatia faces a similar situation this week, with many of the Ryder Cup players sitting out for the Sanderson Farms Championship.

If you bet $10 on Bhatia to win and he comes through with his second PGA Tour win, you’ll take home $500. For additional bets, consider putting small wagers on Bhatia to finish top 10 and top 20.

Looking for more long-shot picks for the Sanderson Farms Championship? Our honorable-mention long shots for the week are Dylan Wu (+5000) and Garrick Higgo (+5000).

Sanderson Farms Championship odds: The favorites

As previously mentioned, all the usual stars won’t be in the field this week, so we have some new faces on the top of the odds ranking. Leading the way is Ludvig Aberg (+1200), who played a starring role on the European team at last week’s Ryder Cup.

Trailing Aberg are two pros locked in second with +2000 odds-to-win: Emiliano Grillo and Eric Cole.
