The PGA Tour heads across the globe for the 2023 Zozo Championship at the Accordia Narashino Country Club in Chiba, Japan. Below, we’ll uncover the history behind the Zozo Championship, along with the past winners and notable results from past tournaments.
Zozo Championship History
Introduced in 2019, the Zozo Championship is a fairly new event. It is the first-ever sanctioned tournament by the PGA Tour in Japan. Given the current sponsorship deal, the tournament is set to run until at least 2025.
The Zozo Championship is sanctioned by both the Japan Golf Tour and PGA Tour. The tournament has been held in Japan every year except for 2020 when the tournament was moved to Sherwood Country Club in October due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Unlike other regular PGA Tour events, the Zozo Championship consists of a 78-player field. However, the event still offers the same perks as regular tournaments, including 500 FedEx Cup points and a sizeable purse.
Zozo Championship Past Winners & Results
The Zozo Championship only has a four-year history, but there have been some notable winners in Japan. The tournament has been sponsored by Japanese clothing brand, Zozo, since the event’s inception in 2019.
Tiger Woods won the first-ever event in 2019, marking his 82nd win on the PGA Tour.
Other past winners include Patrick Cantlay, Hideki Matsuyama, and Keegan Bradley.
Bradley will look to defend his title in Chiba this weekend and become the first-ever player to win back-to-back tournaments in the history of the event.
