A 78-man field makes the trip to Japan for the fourth event of the young PGA Tour season
Through three events of the 2022-23 PGA Tour season, golf fans have been spoiled with late-tournament theatrics. Dramatic 72nd-hole victories from Max Homa and Tom Kim have been accompanied by a playoff triumph from Mackenzie Hughes in the first month of action. The 2022 Zozo Championship will look to follow suit this week in Chiba, Japan, where native son Hideki Matsuyama claimed the title a season ago.
Matsuyama will look to successfully defend his Zozo Championship crown and is featured near the top of the odds board, though he is not the golfer leading the pack. That honor goes to Xander Schauffele as the Olympic gold medalist arrives off a strong Presidents Cup performance and returns to the country where he donned the Olympic gold medal two summers ago.
Matsuyama and Schauffele are joined by 76 other players as the Zozo Championship features a limited field and no cut. Collin Morikawa, Cameron Young and Viktor Hovland are all set to make their season debuts in Japan while Sungjae Im and Tom Kim return to Asia with eyes on keeping their momentum rolling.
