After a successful Shriners Children’s Open outing, the PGA Tour will head to Japan this week for the 2023 Zozo Championship. The event, set to tee off on Thursday, October 19, at the Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club in Chiba, will see 78 players compete for the prize.
The Zozo Championship is the fourth event of the FedEx Fall schedule. The event, being played over four days, has a limited field due to the absence of a cut. Despite its limited field, the event will still be headlined by some of the PGA Tour’s biggest names, including Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, Rickie Fowler, and more.
Defending champion Keegan Bradley will also return to the field. Being played in its originally intended slot, the event will see the Tour golfers compete for an $8.5 million purse.
