Canada’s top junior golfers will tee off in the 72-hole event and battle for the Silver Cup, awarded annually to the Canadian Junior Boys champion. The winner of the 2026 Canadian Junior Boys Championship will earn coveted exemptions into both the 2027 U.S. Junior Amateur and 122nd Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship in 2027.  

“We have a great field ready to compete for our Canadian Junior Boys Championship,” said Rogan Doyle, Tournament Director, Golf Canada. “We would like to thank all the staff and volunteers at Wascana Country Club for all the work they have put in to prepare the course as we welcome some of Canada’s best young talents to Regina.”

Ryan Mosher of Saskatoon headlines the list of in-season NextGen Championship winners teeing it up in his home province after claiming two wins in the month of June. Mosher won both the NextGen Western and NextGen Prairie Championship to earn his spot in the field.

“Wascana Country Club is incredibly proud to host the 2026 Canadian Junior Boys Championship. As one of Saskatchewan’s premier golf courses, it’s an honour to welcome the country’s top young players and showcase both our club and our province on the national stage,” said Craig Prentice, General Manager, Wascana Country Club. “Championships like this inspire the next generation of golfers, and we’re excited to provide an exceptional experience for the players, their families, and everyone involved. Our members, staff, volunteers, and partners are looking forward to showcasing the hospitality that Wascana Country Club is known for.”

Since 1938, the Canadian Junior Boys Championship has brought together the top junior talent in the country for four rounds of entertaining competition. Those to have previously claimed the Silver Cup have gone on to serve memorable careers in the game of golf, including Canadian Golf Hall of Famers Doug Silverberg (1950), George Knudson (1955), Gary Cowan (1956) and Doug Roxburgh (1970), as well as current PGA TOUR stars Nick Taylor and Adam Svensson who each won the tournament in 2006 and 2012 respectively.  

In addition to the 18-and-under championship, the 16-and-under Juvenile Championship has featured in the tournament since 1970, with the winner receiving the Jack Bailey Trophy.

The national championship will also feature an Inter-Provincial Team Championship that will run concurrently through the first 36 holes of competition. Each day, the lowest two out of three individual 18-hole scores will count towards the team score for players representing provinces. Representing Team Manitoba are Blair, Carver and Oakden.

Six members of the Golf Manitoba region are also teeing off Tuesday, in Caledon, Ontario at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley (Heathlands Course) for the Canadian Junior Girls Championship, presented by BDO.

They include:

Grace Burton (Golf Ontario Public Players Club)
Payton Chapman (Team Manitoba / Glendale Golf & Country Club)
Jewel Lafleche (Niakwa)
Kate McMillan (Team Manitoba / Pine Ridge)
Angelina Sitarz (Team Manitoba / Elmhurst)

The field is led by two-time defending champion and Team Canada NextGen member, Shauna Liu of Maple, Ontario. Last year, Liu became the ninth player in tournament history to win the national championship multiple times and the first back-to-back winner since Heather Kuzmich in 1982. Liu will be in search of the three-peat in Caledon and would again tie Kuzmich who was the last to win three straight between 1981 and 1983. Canadian Golf Hall of Famers, Sandra Post (1964-66) and Gail Harvey Moore (1958-60) are the only others to three-peat in tournament history.

Following the first two rounds of play, the field will be cut to the low 70 players and ties included in the final two rounds. Along with the Brokenshire Trophy, players aged 16 and under will compete for the Florence Harvey Trophy, awarded to the Juvenile division winner.

An inter-provincial team competition will take place over the first two rounds, featuring teams from all 10 provinces. Representing Team Manitoba are Lafleche, Sitarz and Thomas.

“We are looking forward to beginning the 2026 Canadian Junior Girls Championship as 156 of the top amateur golfers compete for this prestigious national championship,” said Madeline MacMillan, Tournament Director, Golf Canada. “We’d like to thank our partners at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley for their continued commitment to growing the game in Canada. We know the players will enjoy a memorable experience at the club and in the City of Caledon.”

Inspired by Ireland’s Portmarnock Golf Club, the Heathlands course’s fescue-covered dunes, pot bunkers and severely sloped greens pay homage to classic golf design with one of the truest tests in Ontario. Once the carefully guarded secret of local aficionados, the course opened in 1992 and has become a favourite of those seeking a traditional golf experience and a stirring challenge that pays homage to the simple-yet-brilliant creativity of classic golf design. Heathlands is ranked in the top 25 for public golf courses in Canada and has been the long-time host venue of the Osprey Valley Open, a PGA TOUR Americas event.

“We are incredibly proud to welcome these outstanding young athletes to TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley and the Heathlands course. The athletes competing this week can expect a stout challenge that will test every aspect of their game but will reward players who play boldly and create scoring chances with excellent shot making. We look forward to showcasing not only our championship venue but also the warm hospitality of our community as we celebrate the global growth of the game” said Chris Humeniuk, President, TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley.

The Championship was first contested in 1955 and operated by the former Canadian Ladies Association (CLGA) until the amalgamation of CLGA and Royal Canadian Golf Association (now Golf Canada) in 2005.

The Canadian Junior Girls Championship has a long list of distinguished past champions that have etched their name on the Brokenshire Trophy. Past champions include Canadian Golf Hall of Famers Lisa Meldrum (2000), Alena Sharp (1999), Sandra Post (1964-66), Betty Stanhope (1956), Judy Darling (1957), Gail Harvey Moore (1958-1960) and Gayle Borthwick (1961). LPGA Tour players Maude-Aimée Leblanc (2006), Brooke Henderson (2012) and Maddie Szeryk (2013) also lifted the Brokenshire Trophy.

The 2026 Canadian Junior Girls champion will receive an exemption into the 113th  Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship and both the 2027 Canadian Junior Girls Championship and 2027 U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship, if eligible.

Your Guide to an Epic Manitoba Golf Season

With summer officially here, it’s time to dust off the clubs and enjoy one of the greatest sports on earth! Beyond the simple thrill of a great shot, hitting the fairways is one of the best choices you can make for your personal health. Golf Canada’s “Golf, It’s Good for You” campaign highlights that playing regularly can add up to five years to your life, drastically reduce stress, and improve brain health. It’s a fantastic, moderately demanding workout that naturally pushes you toward your wellness goals while you enjoy the fresh air.

Whether you are looking to boost your personal fitness, shave strokes off your game, or just maximize your fun, here are five things Manitoba golfers should do to enjoy their best season ever.

1. Evaluate Your Gear

If new clubs are in the budget, excellent! Golf equipment technology has leaped forward over the last few years, with manufacturers engineering clubs to be more forgiving, faster, and tailored to help you get the absolute most out of your game. If you want to experience what modern technology can do for your scorecard, check out the incredible new lineup from TaylorMade Canada, or visit your local golf club and inquire about a custom fitting to help dial in your exact specs.

If a new set isn’t in the cards this year, there are still plenty of budget-friendly ways to ensure your equipment is performing its best:

  • Clean or replace your golf grips: Do your grips feel slippery? Try washing them with a simple solution of dish soap and warm water. Use a soft-bristle brush to work into the material, rinse thoroughly, and let them dry with the grip-side down so the water drains properly.

    If they are beyond saving, contact your local golf course about replacements. There are many options available in various materials, sizes, and colors to match your preferences.
  • Ditch the crusty glove: Are your golf gloves stiff and dried out? It’s time for a fresh one. Your hands are your only connection to the club, so give them the best chance to maintain a proper hold. Nothing boosts confidence quite like fresh grips and a tacky new glove!
  • Play the right ball: Make sure your golf ball matches your swing. Check out TaylorMade’s Golf Ball Selector Tool to find the perfect model for your swing speed and ability.
  • Refresh your wardrobe and footwear: Modern golf apparel has evolved into true lifestyle fashion, offering trendy, versatile styles that look just as sharp at a backyard BBQ as they do on the first tee. These high-performance fabrics keep you warm, cool, or dry, while even offering built-in UV protection. Don’t forget your feet, either! A solid body-to-ground connection is key for optimal contact and distance. Today’s golf shoes offer more style, comfort, and waterproofing than ever before. Check out the latest performance golf gear from PUMA Golf Canada.

2. Get Professional Help to Fix That Slice

If your game is giving you some grief on the tee box, don’t suffer through it alone. Booking a lesson with a PGA of Canada professional is the fastest way to improve. They will evaluate your swing and put you on a clear path to better contact and lower scores in no time. Find a teaching pro near you using the PGA of Canada’s Find-A-Pro Directory.

3. Discover Great Places to Play

Manitoba and Northwest Ontario are home to an incredible variety of over 130 golf facilities, including beautiful 9, 18, and 27-hole courses. There is always a new layout to explore! Check out our interactive “Find a Course” Directory at golfmb.ca to book your next tee time.

Rain or shine? No worries! If the Manitoba weather isn’t cooperating, you don’t have to put your season on pause. Check out our fantastic indoor member simulator facilities located right across the province that are designed to keep you swinging 12 months of the year, whatever it looks like outside!

4. Download the Free Golf Canada App & Track Your Health Progress

Get the country’s number-one digital golf companion right on your phone or smartwatch. The Golf Canada App is a free, all-in-one tool featuring GPS-enabled course maps with hole-by-hole distance measurements for over 1,500 Canadian courses, real-time stat tracking, and social connectivity.

Track the Health Benefits: To make it easier to see how golf actively improves your physical health, the app features secure wellness tracking upgrades. Did you know the average golfer walks about 5,000 steps (3 to 5 kilometers) in just a 9-hole round? Now you can track those exact insights privately on your profile, including your total steps, distance walked, standing time, elevation gained, and calories burned!

5. Join Canada’s Largest Golf Community!

While the free app is fantastic, upgrading to an official Golf Canada/Manitoba Membership unlocks the ultimate golf experience for just $64.95 for a full 12 months. By joining, you get a massive package of national and hyper-local benefits:

  • Massive Regional & National Savings: Members score national perks like 15% off tickets to the RBC Canadian Open and CPKC Women’s Open, and up to 30% off Avis car rentals. Even better, you unlock amazing local deals right here at home through our Golf Manitoba Partners:
