The CJ Cup is the PGA Tour's South Korea event, with the tournament having been played at different points in the schedule though now it's currently played in the fall portion of the schedule.
The event, which was first played in 2017, has been slated to be played in South Korea. The event features players from South Korea to be invited into the competition.
After three years at originally intended host, the Club at Nine Bridges, the event moved in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and travel restrictions it created in South Korea. The event has been played in the United States from 2020-2022, with the event twice in Las Vegas and once in South Carolina.
Justin Thomas won this event twice in the first three years in South Korea.
