Kuwana, Japan

The first trophy of the Japan Golf Tour season will be decided at the Token Tado Country Club Nagoya. The primary challenge for the final round is navigating the immense psychological pressure of the season opener, compounded by green speeds that have reached their peak for the tournament. The objective for the leaders is to survive the daunting par-3 17th and the narrow 18th hole, where the swirling Mie winds can easily turn a championship-winning card into a disaster. Strategically, the goal for the final pairing is to remain aggressive on the par-5s to pull away from the field early. The tactical focus for Shugo Imahira is to leverage his experience as a multi-time Order of Merit winner to stay steady, while challengers like Yusaku Hosono and Michael Hendry must search for birdies on the technical front nine. With the first victory of 2026 and a significant jump in the rankings on the line, the ultimate goal is to conquer the Tado dunes and hoist the iconic trophy.
