PGA Tour and FedEx Cup Fall are directed to return to Japan this week for Baycurrent Classic. Previously the Zozo championship will be the seventh edition of this event and the sixth time this competition has been staged in the rising soil. However, we have another difference, while the host course moves from Narashino Country Club to Yokohama golf club In Yokohama, Japan. This is a limited field event-only 78 players-and there is no cutting of 36 holes.
Yokohama Golf Club is regularly considered public course number 1 in Japan. It’s been about 60 years, but received a mass renewal in 2016 from the Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw team. The streets of the fair are the Zoysiagrass. They are wide and are not limited by any very harsh threatening, but any tee shots that leave too far from the line will find dense tree lines that frame every good road. The golf course is not particularly tall in just over 7,300 yards and plays in a very interesting par 71. There are 13 par 4s, only two par 5s, and three par 3s. The greens are above average in size and composed of bentgrass.

2025 Baycurrent Classic ODS: Xander Schauffle favored in Japan
Seduce
Not seeing this golf course before makes it difficult to decide what will be the most important groups of skills needed for success. Bounds gained: Access will always be an advantage. The forecast is calling for wind conditions on Thursday. There has been rain that leads to the start of the tournament and we can see a spraying all week. After all, I believe the ball hit will be the differentiation. I focused on this and also watched clashes and strokes won: Bentgrass. Finally, I used strokes obtained: par 4s given the heavy doses of those holes here in Yokohama.
Choosing interconnected courses is also a game of conjecture. TPC Southwind (FedEx St. Jude Championship) is one of several tracks in the PGA Tour has Zoysiagrass Fairways. As well TPC Craig Ranch (CJ Cup Byron Nelson), which also contains wide roads and large bentgrass greens. Pinehurst no. 2 (2024 US Open) is in Coore-Crenshaw Youth in terms of renovations and redesignments, and Plantation course in Kapalua (Sentry) is just a creation of co-krenshaw. I also looked at the past results in Narashino given that travel and the environment are definitely very similar, and it has the same combination of Zoysiagrass/Bentgrass of roads and greens.
Alex which (23-1)
Not that the European side needed some help in Ryder Cup, but Nora was probably the man who deserved a place in that team that did not do it. But indeed, he left for a late early 2025, returning after a break of approximately seven months due to injury. Since his return, he has been great and has been particularly good in recent weeks. He completed the regular PGA Tour season with a seventh place in seventh place at 3m Open and a third place in the WynDham Championship. Just over a month ago, he won the British masters at The Belfry. I will get a knife with him here based on the actual shape and his always extraordinary short game. It ranks fourth in this field for SG: Bentgrass. Noran has also ended twice in Top 20 in Narashino and his last three visits to the TPC Craig Ranch resulted in 21, 12 and more recently, a third place in 2024.
Kurt Kitayama (26-1)
If we are focusing on hitting the ball, there is not much better in this field than Kitayama. This will be his fourth direct journey to Japan to this event and he has been progressively better each year with the 29th, 16th and fifth year ends. Kitayama also ran fifth earlier this season at CJ Cup Byron Nelson and was ninth at the FedEx St. Championship. Jude at Southwind TPC again in August. During the last 24 rounds, Kitayama ranks third in this field for SG: Ball Staring, third for SG: Access and 26th to par 4s.

Christiaan Bezuidenhout (52-1)
Like Noran, South Africa is another short game specialist who has played well as late. Bezuidenhout ended the sixth last week at the Sanderson Farms Championship, his first appearance in the tournament since August. He was no. 1 in the field in scrambling, ninth in SG: setting and gained shock in access. During the last 24 rounds, he ranks third in this field for good acquired discs and is sixth in 4s.
Mac Meissner (65-1)
Meissner ended up in 14th place at the Sanderson Farms Championship, where he ranked 16th in the field for SG: Access, 15 for the Greens in the Regulation, and the third in scrambling. During the last 24 rounds, Meissner ranks 13th in this field for SG: Ball Staring, seventh for SG: Access, 13 to scrambling, and 16 in the good discs obtained. At the beginning of this summer, Meissner ended up in 14th place in 3m Open and competitor in the Wynham championship. If he can find a hot victim this week, he should be in quarrel.
Kevin Roy (100-1)
Enough of Roy Price Roy this week after seeing up to 66-1, as much as 100-1, along with some numbers in the middle. He was hot red this summer when he tried together the successive ends of the 18th, eighth and third. He again appeared in Mississippi last week with a 18th place at Farmat Sanderson, where he ranked 19th in the field for SG: off the tee and was ninth in scrambling. During his last 24 rounds, he is very strong in statistics this week, ranking very high in this field throughout the table, including the fourth for SG: par 4s.
