History: ZOZO Championship

The four-year old ZOZO Championship may lack a deep history but its four champions include the game’s most iconic star in Tiger Woods; Japan’s only major winner in Hideki Matsuyama; the world No. 3 in Patrick Cantlay; and fan favorite Keegan Bradley.

The ZOZO Championship was initially inserted into the PGA Tour’s wrap-around portion of its 2019-20 schedule. It essentially filled the void of the former CIMB Classic as one of three stops on the Asian Swing.

Making its debut at Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club in Chiba, Japan, the event was moved to California for one year during the height of the COVID scare. It made its return to Japanese soil in 2021.

In addition to the inaugural ZOZO Championship, Narashino Country Club has hosted several notable golf tournaments over the course of its history, most notably the 1972 Japan Airlines Open with Gary Player taking home the prize. Other notable golfers victorious at Narashino include Graham Marsh, Seve Ballesteros, and most recently Woods.
