The Toto Japan Classic, an LPGA Tour event held in November 2025, faced severe weather disruptions, resulting in the cancellation of the entire final round. Tournament officials improvised a playoff among the top three players tied after 54 holes: Ha Na Jang, Jin Young Ko, and a rising star. The playoff was conducted on a single hole under challenging conditions, with Jang emerging victorious after a dramatic birdie putt. This unusual conclusion sparked discussions about weather protocols in golf, but players praised the quick decision-making to ensure a fair outcome. The event underscored the unpredictability of outdoor sports and the resilience of the athletes involved.
