Golf Nippon Series JT Cup, Professional golf tournament in Inagi, Japan
The Golf Nippon Series JT Cup is a professional golf tournament held at Tokyo Yomiuri Country Club in the Tokyo area. The course is a challenging par-70 layout measuring around 7,000 yards, demanding both precision and strategic shot-making from competitors.
The tournament began in 1963 and was initially restricted to winners of six major Japanese golf events, with eligibility rules shifting in 1972. This change opened participation to a wider field of players and helped shape the event's role in professional golf.
The competition attracts the top 30 players from the Japanese money list, positioning itself as the final tournament of the Japan Golf Tour.
Access to the venue is best arranged during tournament days when the grounds welcome spectators. Visitors should prepare for Japan's seasonal weather and bring appropriate clothing and sun protection.
Masashi Ozaki holds the tournament record with a score of 262, finishing 26 strokes under par. This outstanding performance from 1996 remains one of the most remarkable results in the event's history.
