The PGA Tour moves from Japan to South Carolina for the sixth event of the 2022-23 season, as Congaree Golf Club plays host to the CJ Cup.

Rory McIlroy returns to the scene of his 20th PGA Tour victory, which he secured following weekend rounds of 62 and 66 to hold off Collin Morikawa. McIlroy hasn't featured on the PGA Tour since winning the Tour Championship and subsequent FedEx Cup at East Lake. That said, he enters this week in fine form after three DP World Tour appearances in which he has not finished worse than T4. 

The American is without a win since the 2021 DP World Tour Championship Dubai, the longest drought in his short yet successful career thus far. The two-time Major champion finished second in this event last year and looking to build on a disappointing T45 at the ZOZO Championship last week. 

Bradley is also in the field, fresh from his first PGA Tour title in just shy of 1,500 days. The American trailed Fowler by a single stroke ahead of the final round but proved to be too strong as he claimed his fifth PGA Tour victory. 

This year's CJ Cup will see a change of venue with Congaree Golf Club in Ridgeland, South Carolina providing the stage. The Tom Fazio-designed course will host the PGA Tour for the second time after being the venue for the 2021 Palmetto Championship.
