A few days ago, the PGA Tour was in Mississippi. Now? We are about to tee off in Japan.
The Baycurrent Classic — formerly the Zozo Championship — starts on Thursday at Yokohama Country Club in Yokohama, Japan, although due to the time difference you can catch the first round on Wednesday night in the States. Here’s what you need to know.
Featured tee time for Round 1
There are a handful of big names in this Fall Series event, especially for one being played across the globe, but the big draw is homegrown Hideki Matsuyama, who is playing alongside Collin Morikawa and Chris Gotterup.
All three are in the top-five betting odds, according to Fanatics Sportsbook. Morikawa is +1600 to win — which trails only Xander Schauffele (+1000) — while Matsuyama is +1800 and Gotterup +2200.
