Three of the world’s top ten have landed in Japan this week for the Zozo Championship. It’s likely the most loaded a FedEx Cup Fall field will get. Headlined by two-time major champion Xander Schauffele, the Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club field also boasts defending champion, Collin Morikawa, and home-favorite, Hideki Matsuyama. 

Japan is 13 hours ahead of Eastern Time. So, the coverage of the tournament in Stateside will start late and go on till early morning. The Tournament kicks off on Thursday in Japan which means the coverage will start in the USA on Wednesday night.

The Zozo Championship will start at 7:45 AM ET which means a part of the first few to tee off won’t be available to watch on TV. The Zozo Championship is the first FedEx Cup Fall series event that the world’s top players are teeing off. The Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club will once serve as the venue after crowning Collin Morikawa last year. Here are some important pairings you should keep an eye on. 

Tee times and pairing details of the Zozo Championship

Xander Schauffele will kickstart his round at 9:24 AM ET. The two-time major champion has been paired with fellow American, Rickie Fowler, who is coming off a T23 at the Shriners Children’s Open. Min Woo Lee is also in the same group to tee off from the first tee. On the other hand, defending champion, Collin Morikawa will tee off from the same hole 11 minutes later. 

Morikawa is grouped with Will Zalatoris and Sahith Theegala. You can also check the full tee times of the 2024 Zozo Championship here. Among these three, only Theegala has teed up in the FedEx Cup Fall series this year. The 26-year-old has netted a T7 at the Procore Championship. For Schauffele and Morikawa, the Zozo Championship has a special place. Morikawa’s father is of Japanese-American descent. 

Whereas, Schauffele’s mother was born in Chinese Taipei but brought up in Japan. Both have expressed their love for the country and desire to tee up in the event. While Morikawa has won the title once, Schauffele has the chance to add a regular tournament title under his belt this week.
