Simmons Bank Open for the Snedeker Foundation: How to watch, storylines, more

The eighth Simmons Bank Open for the Snedeker Foundation will take place at Vanderbilt Legends Club North Course in Franklin, Tennessee, as the Korn Ferry Tour Finals roll on.

The Simmons Bank Open for the Snedeker Foundation features several top performers from the Korn Ferry Tour. Current tour leader Matt McCarty enters the tournament following his recent victory at the Albertsons Boise Open. This season, McCarty has secured three wins, eight top-10 finishes, and made 11 consecutive cuts, already qualifying for his PGA TOUR card via the Three-Victory Promotion. Max McGreevy, ranked second in the standings, brings two wins and seven top-10 finishes to the event. Tim Widing, third in the rankings, has achieved two victories and six top-10 finishes this season.

In last year's Simmons Bank Open for the Snedeker Foundation, the late Grayson Murray emerged victorious, clinching his second win of the season with a stellar 17-under-par performance. Murray's final-round charge, highlighted by a 5-under on the back nine, propelled him to a three-stroke victory over a trio of challengers including Mason Andersen, Carter Jenkins and Jamie Lovemark. The tournament saw intense competition, with Pontus Nyholm, Carter Jenkins and Mason Andersen all holding the lead at various points during the final round, but Murray's flurry of seven birdies in the closing 18 holes ultimately secured his triumph.

Following this week, the Korn Ferry Tour Finals will whittle down to 75 players, with just two events remaining.
