After two consecutive weekends of convenient primetime viewing of PGA Tour tournaments, this week's event will be a little more difficult to track. The Zozo Championship will take place in Chiba, Japan, which means most of the tournament will unfold in the middle of the night for those of us in the United States.
Still, there's plenty of reason to tune in. Top-10 players Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele are both going for their first wins of the young season, Rickie Fowler is trying to back up his outstanding performance from last week's CJ Cup at Summit and Hideki Matsuyama is trying to cap his all-time year with a win in his home country.
Through three rounds of action in Japan, reigning Masters champion Matsuyama holds a one-shot lead with a 54-hole total of 10-under 200 on the par-70, 7,041-yard Narashino Country Club course. . The lead is slim, however, as Matsuyama sits just one shot ahead of Cameron Tringale and two shots over Matt Wallace and Brendan Steele.
This limited-field event of 78 golfers total has the biggest purse of any tournament for the remainder of this year on the PGA Tour. And while finding a good time to catch the action will be difficult, perhaps before you go to bed for west coasters and early risers on the east coast, the golf should still be great as the 2021-22 PGA Tour season marches through the hearts of its fall slate.
