The FedExFall schedule moves across the globe to the country of Japan for the ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP at Narashino Country Club in Inzai, Chiba Prefecture, Japan.
This year marks year five of the tournament and the fourth time playing in the country of Japan. Tournament play begins on Thursday, October 19th, with a reduced field of 78 players and no cut over the four rounds of action.
Last year, Keegan Bradley won his first of two victories on the 2022-23 PGA Tour schedule with a 15-under par (265 total) score. The win was Bradley’s first since taking home the BMW Championship in 2018. He would go on to pick up his sixth PGA Tour victory less than a year later at the Travelers Championship this past June.
This event is the fourth tournament of the newly created fall slate, with just three tournaments remaining after this week. Players in action will fight for a piece of the $8.5 million dollar purse, and the coveted 500 FedEx Cup points awarded to the winner.
Let’s take a closer look at the upcoming ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP tournament so you can bet against the PGA betting lines with MyBookie.

2023 ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP | 5th edition of the ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP – Fourth event of the fall portion of the schedule
Thursday, October 19th – Sunday, October 22nd, 2023
Narashino Country Club, Inzai, Chiba Prefecture, Japan
2022 Winner: Keegan Bradley
Scouting Narashino Country Club
The 36-hole venue has hosted the ZOZO every year that the event has been played in Japan (2020’s version was played in the USA due to COVID-19 travel restrictions). Designed by Kinya Fujita and opened in 1965, the parkland-style layout offers a unique design for fans with two sets of greens for every hole. The feature is a common practice for Japanese courses.
Using a combination from both 18-hole courses on the property, the layout features five par 3s and three par 5s. A par-70 on the scorecard, the length of the course will be approximately 7,100 yards.
ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP Field Notes
There won’t be a lack of firepower this week, and many top names are expected to be in action this week. Xander Schauffele sits no. 2 in the FedEx Cup standings and no. 6 in the world and looks to add his eighth PGA Tour victory to his resume.
Schauffele and Collin Morikawa both return to action for the first time since playing in the Ryder Cup. Schauffele looks for his first win since July of 2022, while Morikawa hasn’t found the winner’s circle since 2021.
Another American Ryder Cup representative, Rickie Fowler, is in the field this week after a runner-up finish last season. Fowler looks to put the finishing touches on a fantastic year that included a Rocket Mortgage Classic victory in July.
Japan favorite and 2021 ZOZO winner Hideki Matsuyama returns to competitive golf for the first time since the FedEx St. Jude Championship. In the past three tournaments played at Narashino, Matsuyama has a solo second, win, and T40 finish.
ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP Betting Favorites
There are no surprises at the top of the odds board this week, with the world’s best leading the way. Schauffele is the top target at +710 over at the mybookie.ag sportsbook.
Morikawa (+1075) trails closely behind, while Sungjae Im (+1375) looks to build off his gold medal finish at the Asia Games two weeks ago.
Fowler (+1475) and Matsuyama (+1575) cap the top five pre-tournament betting favorites. Both have shown a history of success playing this property and provide good value this week for bettors.
