Big name players have dominated the brief history of the ZOZO Championship and a number of them are back in action following the Ryder Cup hiatus.

In 2021 Japan’s greatest golfer Hideki Matsuyama cruised to an easy victory when the event returned to his native land following a COVID-induced relocation. Defending champ Keegan Bradley ended a lengthy title drought with his victory last year. For the second year in a row Xander Schauffele was installed as the early outright favorite with Collin Morikawa, Sungjae Im and Rickie Fowler all positioned near the top of the odds board.
