The Japan Challenge Tour (currently known as the AbemaTV Tour for sponsorships reasons), is a series of developmental
golf tournaments run by the
Japan Golf Tour Organization. It has been in operation since 1985. The 2018 schedule featured 12 tournaments, with prize funds of mostly

In 2018, internet television provider
AbemaTV became the tour's sponsor. It was also announced that the tour would be included into the
