“On behalf of Golf Canada, we are very appreciative of the support from Tourism Calgary that will help boost two of our most prestigious amateur championships over the next two years,” said Garrett Ball, chief operating officer, Golf Canada. “We look forward to continuing working with the team at Tourism Calgary to develop impactful and meaningful legacy initiatives with the local community that connect our championships to the residents of the area. With the success of the 2024 CPKC Women’s Open and Calgary being a great host city, we are excited to bring our men’s and women’s amateur championships to the Blue Sky City.”
The two tournaments that will benefit from the partnership are:
The 2026 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship in Calgary, from July 27–30
The 2027 Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship in Calgary, from July 19–30
“Tourism Calgary is proud to work with and support Golf Canada in hosting two prestigious amateur championships in 2026 and 2027. We are excited to host these tournaments that will not only showcase elite golf talent but also reinforce Calgary’s strong reputation as a premier destination for major sporting events in Canada,” said Carson Ackroyd, senior vice-president, Tourism Calgary. “Calgary is a strong supporter of golf in Canada as evident from high participation numbers and fan support of championships in our city. Most recently, the 2024 CPKC Women’s Open at Earl Grey Golf Club set a new attendance record for the tournament, and we are incredibly proud of that accomplishment. We look forward to welcoming elite playing fields and their families along with tournament officials to our city and hope they enjoy everything Calgary has to offer.”
The full 2026 championship schedule will be announced in the new year.
