After a week in Sin City, the PGA Tour is across the world in Chiba, Japan, for the 2023 Zozo Championship at Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club.
A loaded field including Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, Rickie Fowler, Hideki Matsuyama and defending champion Keegan Bradley is set to tee off Thursday — or Wednesday for those on the East Coast, as the first tee time is 7:45 p.m. ET.
Schauffele, who has finished inside the top 10 twice in Japan in three appearances, including last year when he tied for ninth, is the betting favorite at +700 (7/1), followed by Morikawa at +1100 (11/1). Home-country hero Matsuyama sits tied for the fourth-best odds at +1600 (16/1).
