Diehard PGA Tour fans will have to adjust their sleep schedules this week as the PGA Tour heads to Japan for the Zozo Championship.

The 78-player, no-cut event will feature the best field so far in what the Tour calls the "FedExCup Fall." Sixteen of the world's top 50 players are in the field (12 of the top 50 in the SI World Golf Rankings), including defending champion Keegan Bradley and 2021 champion Hideki Matsuyama, who will draw massive galleries in his home country.

U.S. Ryder Cup team members Rickie Fowler, Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele will make their first starts since Rome, and Nicolai Hojgaard from the victorious European team is playing.

The Zozo Championship is held at the 7,079-yard par-70 Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club, and a purse of $8.5 million is up for grabs with $1,530,000 to the winner.

Here's a look at the full field:
