The annual Rizap KBC Augusta golf tournament comes to Fukuoka in August! A feature of the Japan Golf Tour since 1973, this year sees 138 professionals and amateurs hit the fairway. Japanese golfing legend Jumbo Ozaki has won the event four times in the past, while last year’s tournament saw Ryo Ishikawa take top spot. Players at this year’s event include Japan’s own Yusaku Miyazato, who seeks to continue his success after his 2017 JGT wins in Aichi and Okinawa, and Hideto Tanihara, who is currently ranked number 50 in the world. With up to ¥100 million up for grabs and the winner taking home ¥20 million in prize money, golf fans will have a chance to enjoy some of Japan’s top golfers battle it out with player from overseas. All ages are welcome, and various merchandise competitions and kids’ golf lessons will be held. Tickets include all-you-can drink and eat, so come and enjoy cold beer, fresh pastries, delicious Itoshima pork, yakitori, and a wide variety of other foods and drinks!
