America’s PGA Tour adds Japan to Asian swing
America’s PGA Tour yesterday announced its first annual tournament in Japan with a purse of nearly US$10 million, as it rejigs its Asian swing.
The new Zozo Championship effectively replaces the CIMB Classic in Malaysia which is dropping off after six years. It will offer a purse of US$9.75 million — a record for Japan — starting next October under a six-year deal, the PGA said. The new event, along with the CJ Cup in South Korea and the WGC-HSBC Champions in Shanghai will form a three-tournament swing in Asia for players from the world’s top tour. “Japan’s passion for golf is widely recognized and something our stars have experienced first-hand through various events held here and the support of standout PGA Tour players like champion Hideki Matsuyama,” said Ty Votaw, Tour executive vice president.
