The PGA Tour is several time zones away this week as a loaded field is set to tee off Thursday — or Wednesday night here in the States — in the 2023 Zozo Championship in Chibe, Japan, at Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club.
While defending champion Keegan Bradley has his sights set on going back-to-back, Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, Rickie Fowler and home-country hero Hideki Matsuyama will have something to say about it.
Accordia Golf Narashino CC is a par-70 track measuring 7,079 yards. Schauffele, who has two top-10 finishes in three appearances at the Zozo, is the betting favorite at +700 (7/1).
Check out some of the best photos from the week in Japan below.
