PGA Tour Canada has announced it is returning to the nation’s capital in 2023, with the Commissionaires Ottawa Open, an official Fortinet Cup tournament.
Eagle Creek Golf Club will be the host site of the 72-hole medal play event set for July 17-23.
While it is the first time that tour players will visit Eagle Creek, the tour previously held four tournaments in the city between 2013 and 2017.
Commissionaires is Canada’s largest, private-sector employer of veterans and Canada’s only national, not-for-profit security organization.
Proceeds from the Commissionaires Ottawa Open will benefit Soldier On, a Canadian Armed Forces program that contributes to the recovery of ill and injured CAF members and veterans. Soldier On delivers opportunities and resources through sport, recreational and creative activities.
ClubEG.golf is the tournament’s host organization and Ottawa Tourism is a major sporting event partner of the Commissionaires Ottawa Open. Soldier On, will be the official charity of the tournament and will provide unique experiences for members of the Soldier On program throughout the summer months.
ClubEG.golf, which will run the day-to-day operations of the tournament in conjunction with PGA Tour Canada, is a golf and social club, in which members have access to 50 Ottawa-Gatineau-area golf courses, facilities that offer year-round social and competitive events and have 50,000 golfers that engage with the organization annually.
