The Town of Caledon will welcome the golfing world as the host of the RBC Canadian Open next spring.
TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley was announced at a press conference as the host for the 2025 Canadian Open, our men’s national golf championship and the only PGA Tour event north of the border.
Mayor Annette Grove said the success of this year’s event at Hamilton Golf and Country Club shows what it can do for a municipality’s international profile.
“It’s an opportunity to really put Caledon on the map globally,” she explained. “I understand that over one million households across the United States, people from 140 different countries, viewed the tournament over the weekend in Hamilton, so this is an exciting opportunity for Caledon.”
The CPKC Women’s Open is Canada’s national women’s championship and the only LPGA Tour event in the country that travels across the country. It was at Vancouver’s Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club last year and will be at Calgary’s Earl Grey Golf Club at the end of July.
Golf Canada’s chief operating officer Garrett Ball outlined the two tournaments’ economic impact at a news conference on Wednesday at the Canadian Open. He said the national sport organization had an $84-million economic impact on Canada as a whole, with $66 million of that in Ontario.
Although the final ticket sales data wasn’t yet released on Tuesday, Golf Canada estimated last week that 137,000 fans attended the Canadian Open at Hamilton Golf and Country Club between Wednesday and Sunday. The organization also estimated that more than 60,000 of them came from more than 40 kilometres away.
