How it’s built
- Quoted from a TPC corporate news item dated May 2025.
What we assumed
- This counts entrants at one event, not a player base.The 2025 Tokyo event had about 7,800 seats across all divisions, so 7,000 players is a well-filled event, not a measure of how many people play in Japan.
Sanity check
Of the right size against the published seat counts, and the only count of people that TPC gives for these events.
