Japan is the host of this week’s PGA Fall Tour action with the Baycurrent Championship. The Yokohama Country Club in Yokohama is the venue for the Baycurrent Championship. Yokohama is the second-largest city in Japan.
Initially, the Baycurrent Championship was known as the Zozo Championship, but that changed this year with Baycurrent taking over title sponsorship.
As is often the case with the PGA Fall Tour, the field will not be filled with many of the elite name brands. But this means that gamblers will have a field of parity that includes several realistic choices to win the event.
Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, and Hideki Matsuyama lead a quality field this week.

Nico Echavarria is the defending champion.
2025 Baycurrent Championship Predictions

- Too much money will be wagered on Matsuyama as the favorite son and Japanese native.
- Xander Schauffele offers quality and value as the best player in the field.
- Schauffele stands out in a field that lacks marquee men, but he is not a popular brand on the board.
- Because Schauffele is not a public brand, he will receive a reasonable price in an event he can win.
