2023 Zozo Championship preview
The Zozo Championship is this week, and the FedEx Fall moves to Japan for the only limited-field, no-cut event of this seven-event series. The field is tremendous given that the fall has been reduced in the way it has.

2023 Zozo Championship rankings: Top 10 expert picks
1. Sahith Theegala: In this field with top-50 players, Theegala is one of a few to play recently and win. He won at Fortinet, and now the dam is opened.
2. Hideki Matsuyama: Hideki has won here, and he takes a tremendous amount of pride in this event.
3. Min Woo Lee: This is probably too high of a ranking for MWL, but he just won on the Asian Tour last week on 30-under total.
4. Sungjae Im: Sungjae hasn't played since the Tour Championship, but he was brilliant in the playoffs and the lead-up.
5. Xander Schauffele: Schauffele was embroiled in Hatgate, so I'm quite curious how he'll respond in his PGA Tour return this week.
6. Cam Davis: Davis has been in the top seven in both of his fall starts, and the better competition this week shouldn't be that big of a deterrent.
7. Eric Cole: Cole is a mega-grinder who almost got there in Vegas with a hell of a final round. Maybe a big breakthrough is incoming.
8. Collin Morikawa: Morikawa was disappointing at the Ryder Cup, and he may be well motivated to get off the schneid this week.
9. Keegan Bradley: The defending champion didn't have the best finish to the season, but he returns to a place with good vibes and looking to prove something after not making the Ryder Cup.
10. Rickie Fowler: Fowler fell off pretty hard after the win in Detroit, and he was not good at the Ryder Cup. However, his resurgence really kicked off here last fall.
