ZOZO Championship dates, total purse, participants, and more 

The PGA Tour heads to Japan for its fourth event, the 2022 ZOZO Championships. The prestigious event is scheduled to be held at the Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club in Chiba from October 13 to 16. This is the fourth edition of the ZOZO Championship.

The American circuit returned to Japan in 2021 after it temporarily shifted to the US in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Japan is now all geared up to host its third PGA Tour event.

The 78-player field at the 2022 ZOZO Championship is fairly impressive, including seven of the top 20 players in the world golf rankings. The field is headed by players like Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, Cameron Young, and Tom Kim, fresh off his win at the recently concluded Shriners Children’s Open.

All hopes will be pinned on Japan's Hideki Matsuyama, who will look forward to defending his title on home soil. On that note, here's a look at the tournament field and prize money:
