Baton Rouge, La. – True freshman Cohen Trolio will make his PGA Tour debut, as an amateur, in the Sanderson Farms Championship beginning on Sept. 30 and concluding on Oct. 3. The four-day, 72-hole tournament will be held at the Country Club of Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi.
Trolio will be playing in the first two rounds, on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1. He will tee off on Thursday from the first tee at 1:50 p.m. CT, paired with Joseph Bramlett and Alex Smalley. Trolio will play with the same grouping for his tee time on Friday morning at 8:55 a.m. CT.
The course plays as a par 72 at a yardage of 7,461 and there will be a cut after the first two days of the tournament. Fans can watch the first two rounds on PGA Tour Live from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. CT and on the Golf Channel from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. CT every day of the tournament.
