Ren Yonezawa from Japan has cemented his status as one of the most consistent elite players on the Japan Golf Tour (JGTO) following a stellar 2025 season. A graduate of Tohoku Fukushi University, Yonezawa finished 3rd on the JGTO Points Ranking, driven by a series of high finishes in the tour’s biggest events.
While he didn’t add to his trophy cabinet in 2025, his performance in the majors was outstanding, recording tied-3rd finishes at both the Japan PGA Championship and the BMW Japan Golf Tour Championship Mori Building Cup. He also came agonizingly close to victory twice, finishing as the runner-up at the Token Homemate Cup and the ISPS Handa Explosion in the Summer. These results consolidated the breakthrough form he showed in 2024, when he claimed two tour titles.
