Super Quick Recap: Sanderson Farms
Ben Griffin struggled down the stretch and opened the door for a five man playoff on Sunday.
Luke List shut that door with a 45 foot birdie putt to win the playoff over Griffin, Ludvig Aberg, Henrik Norlander, and Scott Stallings.

Since winning his first TOUR title at the 2022 Farmers Insurance Open (defeating Will Zalatoris in a playoff), Luke List had not posted a top-10 finish until winning the 2023 Sanderson Farms Championship, a span of 47 starts.
Now, he banks $1.4 million, and he gets to play in The Masters.

The Hottest Course On Earth

Would you golf here?
At 214 feet below sea level, Furnace Creek in Death Valley, CA is the hottest and lowest golf course on Earth.
We were there on the hottest day of 2023 to meet the locals who call the course home and the staff keeping it alive.
