The PGA Tour’s only visit to Japan in the season comes at the Zozo Championship, which is being held at Narashino Country Club.
It is a limited field, no-cut event, with just 78 players teeing it up – among them some of the best in the world.
The highest-ranked player is World No.2 Xander Schauffele, and he’s in a group with Rickie Fowler and Min Woo Lee for the opening two rounds. Play gets underway on Wednesday evening in the eastern US, with an early morning start on Thursday in the UK. The trio get their challenges started at 9.24pm ET (2.24am BST) in the first round, with a tee time of 8.07pm ET (1.07am BST) in round two.
Another eye-catching grouping features defending champion Collin Morikawa, Sahith Theegala and Will Zalatoris, with the three beginning at 9.35pm ET (2.35am BST) in the first round and 8.18pm ET (1.18am BST) in the second round.
