Xander Schauffele Leads PGA Tour Stars To Yokohama

Xander Schauffele returns to Yokohama Country Club as the defending champion of the 2026 Baycurrent Classic, aiming to defend his 19-under total from last year’s tournament. The event, the third of eight in the FedExCup Fall series, features 16 of the world’s top 50 golfers, including Wyndham Clark, Collin Morikawa, Hideki Matsuyama, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Adam Scott, and Sungjae Im.

With a course redesign by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw emphasizing precision over power—just two par-5 holes and 13 par-4s—this week’s competition will test ball-striking and shot placement under mild temperatures and potential wind shifts on Friday and Saturday. A top-100 finish guarantees PGA Tour status for 2027, making the stakes high for players vying for future exemptions.
