Baycurrent Classic 2025: PGA Tour Heads Back to Japan

Japan’s place on the PGA Tour calendar gets a fresh start this fall with the Baycurrent Classic 2025. From October 9–12, the world’s top players will gather at the beautiful Yokohama Country Club, just a short ride from Tokyo, for what promises to be a new highlight of the FedExCup Fall Series.

A New Chapter for Japan’s Premier Golf Event

This tournament steps into the spotlight with a new title sponsor, Baycurrent Inc., and a stunning new setting. Formerly the ZOZO Championship, the event began in 2019 as the PGA Tour’s first official stop in Japan. With its rebrand, the Baycurrent Classic builds on that legacy and takes it further.

A Global Field with Local Stars

Fans can look forward to a strong 78-player field, including:

• Top PGA Tour players from the recent FedExCup standings.
  
• Standout players from the Japan Golf Tour’s money list.
  
• Special sponsor invites bringing in fan favourites and local legends.

The format stays exciting: 72-hole stroke play with no cut, so you see every player all four days. A prize purse around $8.5 million means big points and big stakes for everyone teeing it up.

Why Yokohama Country Club?

The new host course is part of what makes this relaunch feel fresh:

• Minutes from Tokyo’s energy and easy to reach by train or car.
  
• Known for its classic parkland layout — tree-lined fairways, fast greens, and dramatic finishing holes.
  
• A reputation for top-notch conditions and spectator-friendly viewing.

Why the Baycurrent Classic Matters

It’s more than just another PGA Tour event:

• It’s a showcase for Japanese players to test themselves against the world’s best on home soil.
  
• It supports the PGA Tour’s mission to grow the game in Asia and connect more fans to top-level golf.
  
• Past winners like Tiger Woods and Hideki Matsuyama prove how special this stop can be.

This stop will play an important role for players hoping to secure crucial FedExCup points before the season reshuffle. For Japanese fans, it’s an unmissable chance to watch star power up close, enjoy exceptional hospitality, and be part of the next chapter in Japan’s golf story.
