The ISPS Handa Championship kicks off in Japan for the 2024 installment on the DP World Tour. The action begins on Wednesday, April 24 with plenty of editing golfers to watch. Matthieu Pavon leads the odds with a moneyline at +1200 and will take a shot at the $1,831,600 prize purse.

The 2024 ISPS Handa Championship will be played at the Taiheiyo Club on the Gotemba Course. This course, which spans 7,246 yards and is a par 70, is rated as the best overall in Japan.

Golfers will get a good look at Mount Fuji throughout, as well as many trees to deal with along the course. Plenty of bunkers and water hazards protect many greens, meaning golfers must be precise in their approach.

This will be the first time that this event is taking place at this course, as the other two have been held at the Ishioka Golf Club in Omitama. This was also the first time that the Japan Golf Tour and the European Tour were co-sanctioned.

Many skilled individuals are poised to participate in this competition, enhancing the excitement as they unite to succeed. Here are some standout selections to keep an eye on.

Bezuidenhout is arguably one of the more motivated golfers in this event. He currently ranks as the 58^th-best golfer in the world and needs a strong finish to qualify for the U.S. Open and British Open so that he does not fall out of line for the invite.

He is dangerously good when near the hole, as he ranks sixth overall on the Tour for his proximity. He also ranks 21^st overall for putting and strokes gained totals.

Kanaya won back in 2019 here when he competed in the Mitsui Sumitomo VISA Taiheiyo Masters. So far, he has done well at this course in particular with a win, a third place, and fifth place finish in three events. He is coming off of a victory at the Token Homemate Cup, which gives him appealing momentum heading in this event. 

MyBookie showcases the betting odds for the 2024 ISPS Handa Championship, with Matthieu Pavon favored for success. He is currently ranked as the 22^nd best golfer in the world and has appealing momentum coming into this event.

He is returning off of a T49 finish at the RBC Heritage last weekend. Prior to that, he finished T12 at the Masters, making him an arguably dangerous opponent compared to the current field.

He has four top-10 finishes this season, with a victory at the Farmers Insurance Open back in January. Look for him to make a good case for success.
