Mynavi ABC Championship

The Mynavi ABC Championship (マイナビABCチャンピオンシップゴルフトーナメント, Mainabi ei-bī-shī champyon gorufu tōnamento^?) is an annual event on the Japan Golf Tour. It is played at the ABC Golf Club in Katō, Hyōgo, usually in October. It was founded in 1973 as a Japan vs. United States team match (there was also individual prize money and the event counted as an official win on tour). In 1988, it became a full-field individual event. The event is sponsored by Asahi Broadcasting Corporation.
