The CJ Cup 2022 schedule, tee-off timings, participants, and more

The PGA Tour will resume with the CJ Cup 2022 which will take place between October 19 and 23 at the Congaree Golf Club in Ridgeland, South Carolina.

The CJ Cup made its debut in 2017 as the first PGA Tour event in Korea, which hosted three editions of the tournament. However, it shifted to Las Vegas in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

With no plans to return to Korea, the tournament's venue has shifted to Congaree Golf Club in South Carolina. In all four editions so far, no Korean has won the event.
