RELO CLUB Co., Ltd., a leader in employee benefit outsourcing and part of the Relo Group (TSE Prime 8876), held the national finals for the "RELO CLUB All-Japan Corporate Golf Tournament - Recruit CUP 2025 Spring Team Championship" on April 25, 2026, at Granfields Country Club in Shizuoka Prefecture.

Despite favorable weather, the fast and undulated greens proved challenging for the 159 players representing 40 companies. Only 23 players managed to break 80, making it a significantly tougher competition than the previous year. Amidst these conditions, Kaga Electronics (Team A), a powerhouse and former 2020 champion, secured their second victory with a total team score of 223.

The tournament featured a real-time live scoring system, allowing spectators to track player progress via QR codes. RELO CLUB continues to evolve its tournament management to enhance the experience for all participants.

### Kaga Electronics Regains the Throne with Consistent Performance After several close calls in recent years, Kaga Electronics demonstrated their depth of talent. The four-man team delivered stable scores: Mr. Kubota (74), Mr. Miyagawa (76), Mr. Otsuka (76), and Mr. Kazono (81). Notably, their performance was so dominant that any combination of their top three scores would have secured the championship. Following their 20th and 41st place finishes in last year's summer tournament, this victory marks a triumphant return to form.

### Individual Competition: A Narrow Victory for Mizuno Corp The individual title saw a dramatic turnaround. Yuta Furukawa of Mizuno Corporation claimed his first victory after shooting a 73 (37 out, 36 in), edging out the competition by a single stroke. His performance also helped his team secure 4th place and a seed for next year's finals.
