The Golf Nippon Series is a professional golf tournament on the Japan Golf Tour. First played in 1963, it is one of the tour's four major championships. Since 1995, it has been held at the Tokyo Yomiuri Country Club in Inagi, Tokyo. History From its inception in 1963 to 1972 the field was limited to the winners of six important tournaments in Japan: Japan Open, Japan PGA Championship, Kansai Open, Kansai Pro Championship, Kanto Open and Kanto Pro Championship. In some years a player won two of these event and the field was reduced further, to five. It has recently been one of the season-ending events on the tour with a limited field consisting of the top 30 players from the money list and that season's tournament winners. Since 1998 the tournament has been titled the Golf Nippon Series JT Cup, under a sponsorship agreement with Japan Tobacco. It was sponsored by Hitachi from 1988 to 1997, during which time it was titled the Golf Nippon Series Hitachi Cup.
