Fowler had displayed amazing form last year in the Zozo Championship. He would look forward to repeat that performance. He may also have an exciting time being on the greens for other competitions as well.

The Zozo Championship, which will mark its fifth year of competition this year, will take place in Japan. World’s top players will showcase their skills on the golf greens. The said professional tournament is co-sanctioned by the Japan Golf Tour and the PGA Tour.
