2022 Zozo Championship: Tee times, location, TV schedule and more
After successful outings at the Sanderson Farms Championship and the Shriners Children's Open, the PGA Tour is now heading to Japan for the 2022 Zozo Championship. The American circuit travels across the Pacific Ocean for the first time in three years after the event was temporarily moved to the US due to the COVID-19 pandemic last year.
Japan is ready to celebrate the tournament’s grand return. The coveted event will be held at the Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club from October 13 to 16.
As per the rules, the tournament will see a limited field of 78 players compete without a 36-hole cut. It is also noteworthy that the event has a prize purse of $11 million, which is among the bigger purses on the tour.
