The Zozo Championship is the next event on the PGA Tour schedule after the tour went to Las Vegas for the Shriners Children's Open. The latest event will be held at Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club. It has hosted the tournament since its inauguration in 2019. It is scheduled from October 23 to 27 and will boast a prize purse of $8.5 million.
Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club opened in 1965 and hosted the 1968 Japan PGA Championship. It also organized the Japan Open and the Suntory Open from 1974 to 1997.
Kinya Fujita originally designed the Zozo Championship venue. A unique feature of his design is that all 18 holes have two greens. The system originated from the idea that Japan has two separate greens for summer and winter.
Collin Morikawa won the 2023 edition. Keegan Bradley won the year before. Hideki Matsuyama won in 2021 with 15 under and Patrick Cantlay won the tournament in 2020 with 15 under.
Tiger Woods won the first Zozo Championship. His total score was 19 under and the legendary golfer defeated Hideki Matsuyama, who was at 16 under. Woods shot 64, 64, 66, and 67 over the four rounds and he earned $1,755,000 with 500 FedEx points.
