Japan Golf Tour

The Japan Golf Tour is a prominent golf tour. As of 2005 it offers the third highest annual prize fund out of the regular (that is not for seniors) men's professional tours after the PGA TOUR and the PGA European Tour. However since the early 1990s, the growth in prize money has not kept pace with that on the two larger tours. Official events on the Japan Golf Tour count for World Golf Ranking points, and success on the tour can also qualify members to play in the majors.
