2026 Baycurrent Classic field: Tom Kim withdraws from Yokohama after Asian Games win
The PGA Tour heads to Yokohama, Japan, for the 2026 Baycurrent Classic. Xander Schauffele enters as the defending champion in this no-cut, 72-player field.
The PGA Tour's Baycurrent Classic will take place at Yokohama Country Club in Japan next week, offering an $8 million purse and 500 FedExCup points. Defending champion Xander Schauffele is set to return, having recently won the U.S. team event at Medinah. Schauffele closed with a score of 64 last October to claim his 10th PGA Tour title.
The Baycurrent Classic, being one of eight tournaments on the FedExCup Fall schedule, will feature a field of 72 players with no cuts. Among those 72 participants is Tom Kim, who withdrew from the tournament on Saturday following his victory at the 2026 Asian Games. Kim had left the Presidents Cup early and traveled from Chicago to Japan to compete in the Asian Games. His participation was made possible by an exemption from South Korea's mandatory military service.
In addition to Schauffele, other notable players are scheduled to join him in Yokohama for the third event of the FedExCup Fall. The Baycurrent Classic at Yokohama Country Club is set to begin next week.
