Greg Norman, also a winner of four tournaments this season, leads the Australian and New Zealand team.

The championship will be played over the 7,017-yard, par-72 Tokyo Yomiuri Country Club course in the suburbs of Tokyo.

The individual winner will receive $25,000 and the runner-up $18,000.

The winning team will take home $300,000, or $50,000 for each player, and the runner-up team $180,000, or $30,000 each.
