The Mr. Lube Tournament for Life Pro-Am, an annual series of events taking place in Toronto and Calgary supporting Prostate Cancer Canada, also remains a key component of the partnership.

As has been the case since the championship was re-launched in 2011, the PGA Championship of Canada sponsored by Mr. Lube and presented by TaylorMade-adidas Golf is contested as a match play event featuring the top 64 players from the PGA of Canada Player Rankings presented by RBC.
The PGA Championship of Canada was first played in 1912, making it one of the oldest professional golf championships in the entire world. A storied list of past champions included: Moe Norman, Al Balding, George Knudson, Dan Halldorson, Dave Barr, Bob Panasik, Stan Leonard, Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino, Lanny Wadkins, Ray Floyd and Steve Stricker.
