What is
Play Like the Pros Charity Challenge?
Play Like the Pros Charity Challenge is a series of mini-tournaments at some of Canada's best golf courses where golfers raise money for junior golf through the Golf Canada Foundation. The winners from each tournament, and the top fundraising teams, will qualify to play Glen Abbey on Monday July 25th – the day after the RBC Canadian Open, from the same tees, pin positions, and tournament conditions as the pros played!
Sign up below to play one of Canada’s most exclusive courses, who've opened their club doors just for this event in support of junior golf in Canada.
This year's goal is to raise $200,000!
How To Play Like the Pros?
*Limited space, only 5 foursomes per course!
What Is The Fundraising Component?
There is a MANDATORY minimum fundraising component of $400 per golfer ($1600/foursome) to participate in the Play Like the Pros Charity Challenge. If you do not meet the minimum prior to your tee time, you will be charged the difference. All funds raised go to support junior golf programs in Canada.
Fundraising Rewards:
This year, points will be given to teams once they collectively reach $4,000 of fundraising revenue (additional points will then be distributed for amounts raised above and beyond $4,000). In return, qualifying participants will have their pick of exclusive TaylorMade products such as duffle bags, golf bags, and drivers. Click here for details.
