The 2026 Japan Golf Tour domestic season officially begins at the Token Tado Country Club Nagoya in Mie Prefecture. The primary challenge of this season-opening event is the transition from winter practice to competitive play on a course known for its strategic bunkering and undulating greens. The objective for the 132-player field is to navigate the early-season nerves and master the technical par-4s to establish a strong position for the week. Strategically, the goal for the field is to take advantage of the morning sessions before the winds typically pick up across the Mie landscape. The tactical focus for defending champion Tatsunori Shogenji and top contenders like Takumi Kanaya is to find their rhythm with the flat stick early. With a ¥130,000,000 purse on the line and the prestigious honor of winning the domestic opener, the ultimate goal is to conquer the Tado layout and set the tone for the 2026 tour campaign.
