The Royal Mayfair Golf Club in Edmonton will host the 2026 CPKC Women’s Open from August 17 to 23 [1].
This event represents Canada’s women’s national championship and serves as the only LPGA Tour stop within the country [2]. Bringing the tournament to Alberta highlights the growth of professional women's golf and provides a high-profile platform for athletes in Western Canada.
Golf Canada and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) organized the selection of Edmonton as the host city [1]. The partnership aims to promote women’s professional golf across the nation by rotating the championship through various regions [1]. Tournament director Brian Newton said he is overseeing the preparations for the event at the Royal Mayfair venue [1].
The tournament is scheduled for 2026 [3]. While some sports betting previews have referenced a 2025 event, official announcements from Golf Canada and the CBC confirm the Edmonton dates are set for August 17-23, 2026 [1], [2].
Royal Mayfair Golf Club, located in Alberta, was chosen to provide the necessary infrastructure and course quality required for an LPGA Tour event [2]. The selection process involves evaluating the venue's ability to handle the logistical demands of a national championship, including spectator management and course conditioning, to ensure a professional standard of play [1].
The event will attract top-tier global talent to Edmonton for a week of competition. By hosting the CPKC Women’s Open, the city expects to increase visibility for the sport and encourage participation among young female golfers in the province [1].
“Canada’s women’s national championship and the only LPGA Tour event in the country.”
The selection of Edmonton for the 2026 CPKC Women’s Open signals a strategic move by Golf Canada to decentralize major professional tournaments and expand the reach of the LPGA Tour into Western Canada. By utilizing the Royal Mayfair Golf Club, organizers are leveraging regional infrastructure to increase the accessibility of elite women's sports to a broader Canadian audience.
