After the first two events of the FedExCup Fall series took place in the USA, the PGA Tour heads to Japan for the Baycurrent Classic, which is staged at Yokohama Country Club.

Formerly the Zozo Championship, Tiger Woods claimed the inaugural event in 2019 to match Sam Snead's all-time PGA Tour win record, while Major winners like Hideki Matsuyama, Keegan Bradley, Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele have all triumphed in the event since.

For 2026, Schauffele is in contention to make it back-to-back victories, as he sits four off the lead going into the final round, with Michael Brennan, Zach Bauchou and Jacob Bridgeman sitting at the top of the leaderboard.

Along with 500 FedExCup Fall points being on the table, there's also an $8 million tournament prize purse, with the winner pocketing $1,440,000 for their efforts.

As mentioned, the winner earns $1,440,000 and, for the runner-up, they will pocket $864,000. Even third position earns over half-a-million, while each player inside the top 20 secures a six figure paycheck.
