Mount Fuji Provides Backdrop to New Venue on the DP World Tour
Shizuoka, Japan -- Japanese and European golf stars will battle for the tour’s penultimate event in its Asian swing this weekend (April 25th-28th). Now in its second year, the DP World Tour ISPS Handa Championship will be played at the Taiheiyo Club Gotemba Course in Shizuoka. The star-studded event will be hotly contested, with a $2.25 million prize pool up for grabs as well as 'Race to Dubai' ranking points. Among the European players are top-ranked Matthieu Pavon, Rafa Cabrera-Bello, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Matteo Manassero, and Jordan Gumberg.
Japanese Stars on the Rise
The event is co-sanctioned by the Japan Tour, and as a result, 46 of the 156 players in the field are Japanese. In the last 8 months, Japanese players have been winning in Europe, Tuo Hisatsune (Cazoo Open de France), Rikuya Hoshino (Commercial Bank Qatar Masters), and most recently, Keita Nakajima (Hero Indian Open), who will be in the field and vying for victory on home soil.
About the Course
The Taiheiyo Club Gotemba Course is one of Japan’s premier courses, located about an hour from Tokyo. Overlooked by Mount Fuji, the par 70 layout stretches approximately 7,262 yards and is described as a 'true hillside course.' Designed in 1977 by Shunsuke Kato, the course underwent a renovation in 2018 overseen by Rees Jones with consultation from Major Champion Hideki Matsuyama.
