2020 Sanderson Farms Championship live coverage: How to watch Round 1 on Thursday

The 2020 Sanderson Farms Championship kicks off Thursday in Mississippi, and a host of PGA Tour stars are ready to battle for the title and a spot in the 2021 Masters. Here’s what you need to know to watch the first round.

Previewing Sanderson Farms Round 1

Without question, one of the biggest names and most accomplished players in the field this week at the Country Club of Jackson is Zach Johnson. The owner of two major championships and 12 PGA Tour titles overall, Johnson will have a great chance to add to that total this week.

Johnson will get his opening round started at 9:11 p.m. ET on Thursday (8:11 a.m. local time) alongside fellow major champion and recent winner Stewart Cink. The other player filling out that threesome is Hudson Swafford, who just captured his second PGA Tour title days ago in the Dominican Republic.

Sebastián Muñoz, the defending champion, will tee off for the first round at 1:55 p.m. ET, while the man he beat in a playoff last year, Sungjae Im, will get started at 9:00 a.m. ET alongside betting favorite Scottie Scheffler.
