About this episode
Following the conclusion of the 2024 Zozo Championship, the PGA Tour's only stop in Japan, we're re-heating this Jumbo Ozaki Spotlight from May 2020. Brendan relays some notes from a day of reading and researching the Japanese legend. Masashi “Jumbo” Ozaki's dominant career on the Japan Tour is covered in depth, as well as his ambivalence to playing outside of that Tour. His flamboyant style, allegations of cheating, playing with illegal “hot” equipment, and rumors of ties to organized crime are also discussed in detail.
