Profile
Kazuki has only been a professional since 2017 but broke the Official World Golf Rankings top 150 thanks to 3 wins in his first 34 professional appearances. He only made nine appearances in 2020 due to the restrictions imposed by coronavirus and this has hampered his progress. Expect to see him climb the rankings and add further wins in Japan in 2021.
Significant Info To Be Aware Of
The Olympic golf tournament will be played at Kasumigaseki Country Club in Japan in 2021. Kazuki will be aiming to qualify for this event.
