Sony Japan Women's Professional Golf Championship

Overview

Preparations for the Sony Japan Women's Professional Golf Championship, one of Japan's four major women's golf tournaments, are progressing at the Katayamazu Golf Club Hakusan Course in Ishikawa Prefecture. Players have begun practice rounds to adjust to course conditions, and organizers have finalized spectator facilities, including a 320-seat grandstand and large LED video boards.

The tournament is scheduled for September 10 through September 13, 2026. Preliminary rounds on September 10 and 11 will determine the top 60 players who will advance to the final rounds on September 12 and 13.

The field features a strong lineup of international and domestic talent. Miyu Yamashita, who competes primarily on the US LPGA Tour, is returning to her mother's birthplace in Ishikawa with the ambition to secure a domestic major triple crown. Yamashita also expressed a desire to bring energy to regions affected by the Noto Peninsula earthquake, having previously donated 5 million yen to recovery efforts in 2024.

Other notable participants include AIG Women's Open winner Shiho Kuwaki, as well as Rio Takeda, Sena Kanazawa, Erika Hara, Nasa Hataoka, and Ayaka Furue. The event will be broadcast and streamed via networks including Sky A and U-NEXT.
