The 27-year-old, who is ranked fourth in the world, will return to ACCORDIA GOLF Narashino Country Club in Narita, Japan from October 24-27 with the intention to defend his title and end the year on a winning note.
There are only a few places around the world where you hope to win before the end of your career and for me, Japan is one of those places.
Winning the ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP last.
October meant the world to me. With my heritage being half Japanese and my last name being Morikawa, it's just so special.
Achieving success around the world is never easy in our sport. We play so much in the U.S that when we have these opportunities to play internationally and play in a country that I love and have respect for, it's very significant. I can now check that off my bucket list and say I've done it, and hopefully I can continue to repeat my success in the years to come.
It was really incredible to win in front of our Japanese fans. Every win is different, and every experience, whether it's winning or losing, you learn a lot. I had not won a tournament for about two years prior to ZOZO, so to secure a six-shot victory was quite exciting.
