One struggling year after, players' dream became true. May 6th, inaugural Japan Players Championship by Sato Shokuhin will be held at Nishi Nasuno CC.

Due to the pandemic, many tournaments were cancelled or postponed. Players lost their place to work but couldn't just sit and wait. They have decided to "make our own tournament". They fought hard to make this task possible. They have succeeded of making the tournament by the players come true, with kind and understanding support from a special sponsor Sato Shokuhin.
