Mr. Lube PGA Seniors’ Championship of Canada presented by Adams Heads to Credit Valley
Mississauga, Ont.’s, classic Credit Valley Golf and Country Club will host the Mr. Lube PGA Seniors’ Championship of Canada presented by Adams this coming August.
The 54-hole national championship takes place Aug. 11-14 at the Robbie Robinson designed parkland golf course.
“The PGA of Canada is very excited about holding another national championship at the outstanding Credit Valley Golf and Country Club,” said PGA of Canada president Constant Priondolo. “Credit Valley has long supported both the PGA member and the association’s national championships.”
Twelve-time PGA Tour winner Steve Stricker won the PGA Championship of Canada when Credit Valley hosted in 1993, while Hannah Jun captured the 2008 PGA Women’s Championship at the Mississauga venue.
“On behalf of the Credit Valley Golf and Country Club, I am pleased to say how excited we are to host this year’s PGA Seniors’ Championship of Canada,” said PGA of Canada executive professional and Credit Valley’s chief operating officer Ian Webb. “Our golf course will be a spectacular test for the players with its tight tree-lined fairways as well as large, fast, undulating greens,” he said, adding, “I know that our members and our employees are very excited to have an opportunity to once again showcase our facility to some of the best players in the world.”
Ranked No. 77 on SCOREGolf’s Top 100 Courses in Canada for 2014, Credit Valley celebrates its 85th anniversary this year. Originally the hunting and fishing grounds of the Ojibway people, Credit Valley traces its golfing beginning back to 1930. Ontario's then Lieutenant Governor, W.D. Ross, commissioned that six holes be built on the original property which was located where the driving range and parking lot now stand.
Remi Bouchard emerged victorious after besting Ken Tarling and Jean Laforce in a playoff at last year’s Mr. Lube PGA Senior’s Championship presented by Adams at Beverly G&CC in Copetown, Ont.
The PGA Seniors' Championship of Canada was first played in 1938 as a division of the Canadian PGA Championship. In 1973, the championship became an independent event and has stayed that way since.
Among the Canadian golf legends to win the PGA Seniors’ Championship of Canada are Stan Leonard, Moe Norman—who won a record seven straight years from 1979-1985—Bob Panasik, Al Balding—who wowed the golf world by winning at age 76 in 2000—and Jim Rutledge.
