ZOZO Championship History
It is the first PGA Tour-sanctioned event in Japan, and the agreement will last at least until 2025. The Japan Golf Tour would co-sanction it as well. Tiger Woods won the first championship, marking his 82nd PGA Tour triumph. This equaled Sam Snead's all-time record.
Due to persistent travel restrictions brought on by the COVID-19 epidemic, the tournament was relocated to Sherwood Country Club in Lake Sherwood, California, in October 2020. However, the 2020 ZOZO Championship lost the involvement of the Japan Golf Tour and became a PGA Tour event with a single sanction.
In 2021, the competition made a comeback in Japan and was authorized by both the PGA Tour and the Japan Golf Tour. However, it was an unofficial Japan Golf Tour money event. Brendan Steele and Cameron Tringale were beaten by Hideki Matsuyama by five strokes as he aced the last hole in his native Japan.
Keegan Bradley won the 2022 ZOZO Championship. Rickie Fowler, who was attempting to win on the PGA Tour for the first time since 2019, was defeated by Keegan, who finished at 15-under-265 overall. Three players tied for fifth place, and Emiliano Grillo took solo fourth on a 13-under total.
Collin Morikawa, who won the 2023 Zozo Championship, earned his sixth PGA Tour victory and a $1,530,000 winner's share of the $8,500,000 purse. Morikawa's commanding final-round 63 put him at 14-under 266 and handed him his first PGA Tour victory since the 2021 Open Championship.
