Other big names in the 78-man lineup include Tommy Fleetwood and Rickie Fowler, who can be watched by 5,000 audiences every day as long as they wear masks.

Masters champion Matsuyama will be the focus of strong domestic attention, where he won the Olympic gold medal in August and for Hoe, an American Schauffele whose family has ties to Japan, this will be a return to the country.

Morikawa, 24, is the third highest-ranked player in the field in the world and will be popular because he is half Japanese.

He finished 22nd in the 2019 Zozo Championship. He turned pro that year, but a lot has happened since then, including big wins in the British Open and the PGA Championship.

The tournament's official website Morikawa told: The world has clearly changed, my golf game Playing there (Zozo) in 2019 allowed me to start my career and since then, two years later and my experience has also changed.

Tiger Woods won the opening event of the first U.S. PGA Tour in Japan, which is unforgettable. This win enabled him to match the 82 PGA Tour titles held by the legendary Sam Snead History.

But due to the coronavirus pandemic, last year's game was moved to California. After the other two games of the PGA Tour's "Asia Swing" fell victim to the pandemic, there was speculation that the Zozo championship could move again this year.

The CJ Cup moved from South Korea to Las Vegas, won by Rory McIlroy on Sunday, one shot to Morikawa.

Originally scheduled for October 28-31, Shanghai World Championships-HSBC Championship, has been canceled for the second consecutive year.

Who had one shot ahead of Jon Rahm and Justin Thomas, Last year's Zozo Championship at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks was Patrick Cantlay.
