The Japan Challenge Tour, currently titled as the ACN Tour, is a series of developmental golf tournaments run by the Japan Golf Tour Organization. It has been in operation since 1985.

History

In January 2018, the tour signed a sponsor title agreement with AbemaTV, being renamed as the AbemaTV Tour for the 2018 season onwards.[2] The agreement lasted until the end of the 2024 season.[3] In March 2025, it was announced that Template:Ill would become the new title sponsor of the tour, being renamed as the ACN Tour.[4]

In July 2018, it was also announced that the tour would be included into the Official World Golf Ranking starting in 2019, with the winner receiving a minimum of 4 points for a 54-hole event.[5]

The top 20 players earn entry into the Japan Golf Tour.[6]
