Beyond Brooke, several Canadian women still battling for 2027 LPGA cards
Heading into 2027, Brooke Henderson remains the only Canadian woman golf fans can count on seeing regularly during LPGA Tour events.
The 29-year-old from Smiths Falls, Ont., has already secured her status for 2027, with her results this season placing her comfortably inside the top 80 on the LPGA’s Race to CME Globe ranking.
She enjoyed a strong season, highlighted by her performances in major championships. The 14-time tour winner finished second at the Amundi Evian Championship and tied for third at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in 2026. She also holds exemptions from her 2022 Evian title and her 2025 CPKC Women’s Open victory, providing security beyond her position in the points standings.
Maude-Aimée LeBlanc, Savannah Grewal and Leah John face much more uncertainty.
Following the Lotte Championship, LeBlanc, of Sherbrooke, Que., sat 117th in the Race to the CME Globe with 126 points. Grewal, of Mississauga, was 160th with just over 33 points, while John, of Vancouver, was 189th with three points.
The LPGA’s priority structure gives the top 80 players the best playing privileges for the following season. Players finishing 81st through 100th enter a lower category, while those placing 101st through 125th receive more restricted access.
Maintaining her current position would allow LeBlanc to retain a foothold on the tour, but she still has considerable incentive to improve her standing through qualifying.
Grewal and John remained outside those points-based categories. Neither had secured a dependable 2027 LPGA schedule through their season results.
Huang pursuing first LPGA Tour card
Rising star Anna Huang could provide a significant addition to Canada’s LPGA Tour presence.
The 18-year-old from Vancouver has already captured four Ladies European Tour victories since turning professional, and finished tied for fourth at this year’s CPKC Women’s Open.
That result earned her entry to the following week’s FM Championship. It also illustrated the difference between earning an individual tournament start and securing season-long membership.
Huang, whose European results have propelled her as high as 36th in the Rolex Women’s World Rankings this year, will be old enough to pursue a 2027 LPGA card through this year’s Qualifying Series. A top-10 finish on the LET Order of Merit provides access to Final Qualifying but does not automatically award an LPGA card.
Crop of Epson Tour players seeking Q-Series success
The completed Epson Tour season provided no Canadian additions among its 15 graduates. Canadians Maddie Szeryk-DiBello (33rd) and Megan Osland (46th) therefore did not earn new LPGA cards through that route. Any improvement in their status must come from a strong result at the tour’s Final Qualifying Stage event, which runs Nov. 19-23 in Alabama. Huang and LeBlanc will join Szeryk-DiBello and Osland in the field there.
The top 25 and ties at that final stage event earn LPGA status for 2027, with their finishing positions determining priority.
Those results will establish Canada’s final contingent. Henderson can already turn her attention to next season. For several other Canadians, the coming weeks will determine where they can play in 2027.

RBC Community Junior Golf continues opening doors to golf for young Canadians
From municipal golf courses to the RBC Canadian Open, RBC Community Junior Golf helped more young Canadians discover the game through First Tee – Canada programming in 2026.
An initiative launched by RBC and Golf Canada, RBC Community Junior Golf supported First Tee programming at 38 program locations across Canada in 2026, helping reduce barriers to participation and create welcoming pathways into the sport for youth from all backgrounds.
“Golf is about more than the game itself — it’s about the character, confidence and connections young people build along the way,” said Shannon Cole, chief brand officer of RBC. “Through RBC Community Junior Golf, we’re helping ensure that every kid in Canada who wants to pick up a club has the opportunity to do so. Seeing the impact across the country reinforces why this partnership matters so much to us. We’re not just introducing youth to a sport — we’re opening doors to possibility.”
Since launching in 2022, RBC Community Junior Golf has engaged more than 170,000 participants through no-cost First Tee programming. In 2026, the initiative reached nearly 63,000 participants from 264 community partners and 38 golf facilities, building on its impact in underserved communities across the country.
The initiative also continues to help broaden golf’s reach, with 46 per cent of participants identifying as female. In addition, 79 per cent of community partners serve low-socioeconomic communities, helping connect more young people with opportunities to participate in a sport they may not have otherwise had the chance to play.
“We’re incredibly grateful to RBC for their continued commitment to First Tee – Canada,” said Adam Hunter, executive director of First Tee – Canada. “Each season, through RBC Community Junior Golf, we see children pick up a club for the first time and leave with more confidence, new friendships and skills that extend well beyond golf. That impact simply wouldn’t be possible without RBC.”
Bringing the 72’ Putt challenge into communities
RBC Community Junior Golf engaged fans through its 72’ Putt activation at the 2026 RBC Canadian Open. Inspired by Nick Taylor’s historic 72-foot putt to win the 2023 championship, the activation gave fans a chance to recreate the putt, with proceeds supporting First Tee – Canada programming across the country.
The activation raised nearly $45,000 during tournament week and provided an opportunity to connect the excitement of Canada’s National Open Championship with the importance of introducing more Canadian youth to the game.
The challenge reached RBC Community Junior Golf-supported First Tee – Canada sessions, where participants tested their putting skills for a chance to win prizes. The activity offered a fun way for young golfers to practise their skills and build enthusiasm for the game.
Recognition for impact
RBC Community Junior Golf’s backing of First Tee – Canada to advance inclusion and create meaningful community impact was recognized by Sponsorship Marketing Council Canada this year through three Sponsorship Marketing Awards: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Purpose-Led / Social Cause, and Best in Show.
“Being recognized by Sponsorship Marketing Council Canada is incredibly meaningful for our team, but what makes these awards truly special is what they represent — real, measurable progress toward making golf more accessible for young Canadians,” said Mark Soder, director of brand marketing at RBC. “RBC Community Junior Golf is a great example of how our sponsorships at RBC are designed to champion and give back to our communities.”
The recognition highlights the initiative’s focus on using golf to create positive change and increase access for young people. Through its support of First Tee – Canada, RBC Community Junior Golf helps foster environments for youth to learn the game, develop relationships and build valuable skills they can carry through life.
Looking ahead
As First Tee – Canada continues to grow, RBC Community Junior Golf will remain an important accelerator in expanding access to golf for young Canadians, particularly in underserved communities.
Continued support from RBC and the Golf Canada Foundation will help First Tee – Canada reach more youth, strengthen local programming and reduce barriers to participation. The partnership aims to give more Canadian children and families the opportunity to experience golf, regardless of their background or circumstances.

Conners of Listowel, Ontario will be making his third consecutive appearance at the Presidents Cup having previously competed for the International Team in 2022 at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina and in 2024 at The Royal Montreal Golf Club in Montreal.

Conners narrowly missed out on automatic qualification, finishing the season long point standings in seventh.

Pendrith previously competed in the 2022 and 2024 Presidents Cups, earning two points for the International Team in Montreal. Pendrith becomes the second Canadian to serve as assistant captain, with Mike Weir previously serving in 2019 and 2022 before captaining the International Team in 2024.

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.

Kate McMillan (Team Manitoba / Pine Ridge)

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:
