OAKVILLE, Ont. – Golf Canada is pleased to announce that Visit Mississauga will be providing support to the 2026 Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship, presented by BDO through an extended partnership, further deepening its commitment to women’s golf in Canada.
“On behalf of Golf Canada, we are very appreciative of the support from our partners at Visit Mississauga and their continued commitment to women’s golf in Canada. Over the past two years, Visit Mississauga has been instrumental in ensuring the World Junior Girls Golf Championship and the CPKC Women’s Open were successful events in the City of Mississauga,” said Garrett Ball, Chief Operating Officer, Golf Canada. “Next year, The Toronto Golf Club will host the 112th playing of our Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship as the historic course celebrates its 150th anniversary. We have no doubt the players competing and staying in Mississauga will be treated to a memorable week both on and off the course thanks to the support from everyone at The Toronto Golf Club and Visit Mississauga.”
The 2026 Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship, presented by BDO will be the third of three championships to benefit from the long-standing partnership with Visit Mississauga. The 112th playing of the national championship will be contested, July 21-25 at The Toronto Golf Club. It will mark the return of amateur championship golf to the historic club for the first time since hosting the Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship in 2017. Notably, it will also be the first time since 1947 that the course will host the nation’s Women’s Amateur Championship – formerly the Canadian Ladies’ Golf Association Championship and the eighth in its illustrious history. The Toronto Golf Club has also hosted 11 Canadian Women’s Senior Golf Association Championships, two Canadian Professional Golfers’ Association Championships and five RBC Canadian Open’s between 1905 and 1927.
“We’re proud to continue our partnership with Golf Canada and to help bring another prestigious women’s golf championship to our city,” said Victoria Clarke, CEO, Visit Mississauga. “From the CPKC Women’s Open and World Junior Girls Golf Championship to the upcoming Scotties Tournament of Hearts and the Provincial and National Volleyball Championships, Mississauga has become a destination of choice for major women’s sporting events. These events not only inspire the next generation of athletes but also drive meaningful economic impact and visibility for our city. Hosting the Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship is another opportunity to showcase our community’s world-class facilities and our ongoing commitment to advancing women’s sport in Canada.”
The previous two tournaments that were supported by Visit Mississauga were the 2025 CPKC Women’s Open and the 2024 World Junior Girls Golf Championship.
