Tiger Woods announced Wednesday evening that he’s returning to Japan for the first time since 2006 to play in the inaugural ZOZO Championship just outside of Tokyo.
The event will be played Oct. 24-27 at Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club, and marks the first official PGA Tour event in Japan.
“I’m excited to play in the inaugural ZOZO Championship in October, and return to Japan, one of my favorite countries," Woods said via Twitter. "It’s going to be a fun fall.”
His last appearance in Japan came at the Japan Tour’s Dunlop Phoenix, where Woods fell to Padraig Harrington in a playoff.
