The PGA Tour and a strong contingent of tour pros will make their way to Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club in Japan this week for the fourth edition of the Zozo Championship. The lone PGA Tour event played in Japan features a 78-man field, four rounds and no cut.
One of those 78 men will be defending champ and Japanese golf legend Hideki Matsuyama. The fan favorite won last year’s event by five shots, making three birdies over five holes on the back nine and an eagle on the closing hole on Sunday. He bested runners-up Brendan Steele and Cameron Tringale.
This year, the event will have another strong field featuring World No. 5 Xander Schauffele, who won the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics. Along with Schauffele, we’ll see Collin Morikawa, Cameron Young, Viktor Hovland and Rickie Fowler teeing it up.
This tournament also will feature some Japanese golf up-and-comers from Keita Nakajima (the former World No. 1 amateur who recently turned pro) and Takumi Kanaya to 20-year-old wunderkind Ryo Hisatsune.
The winner will receive 500 FedEx Cup points and a $1.98 million cut of the $11 million purse.
Golf Channel will carry live coverage Wednesday (into Thursday morning) and Thursday (into Friday morning) from 11 p.m.-3 a.m. EDT, and on Friday (into Saturday morning) from 10:30 p.m.-2:30 a.m. EDT and Saturday (into Sunday morning) from 11 p.m.-3 a.m. EDT.
