Earl Grey Golf Club will play host to the stars of the LPGA Tour next year for the 50th playing of Canada’s National Open Championship. It will be the seventh time the CP Women’s Open is played in Alberta and the first since 2016.

The event will be played July 22-28. It moves from August with the Olympics back on the schedule next year.

“Together, with our partners at Canadian Pacific and the LPGA Tour, we are very excited to bring the 2024 CP Women’s Open to the world-class city of Calgary and the prestigious Earl Grey Golf Club,” said CP Women’s Open Tournament Director Ryan Paul. “Calgary and the province of Alberta is home to a tremendously passionate golf community, and we are excited to see the LPGA Tour’s best challenge one of Canada’s premier golf courses.”

The search for a site began three years ago.

Earl Grey GC is located in the heart of Calgary. Originally founded in 1919 as a five-hole layout, it’s been on its current site overlooking the Glenmore Reservoir since 1932. The club has hosted numerous major provincial, national, and international competitions including the Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship. There was a robust renovation that occurred in 2018 while the courses’ usual hole rotation will be pivoted slightly to help with the flow of foot traffic.

Calgary is no stranger to hosting some of the best golfers in the world, as the Shaw Charity Classic has been a staple on the PGA TOUR Champions schedule since 2013.

“We are excited to welcome the very best LPGA Tour players to Earl Grey Golf Club for the 2024 CP Women’s Open,” said Marion Burnyeat, Earl Grey Club President. “Hosting this historic tournament gives us the opportunity to share our championship golf course to challenge the top players in the world. The local golf community will come together in 2024 for this world-class tournament supported by the volunteer spirit for which Calgary is known.”

The CP Women’s Open will have plenty of momentum behind it over the next few years. With this year’s event being hosted at the venerable Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club in Vancouver (Aug. 21-27), it is the reigning ‘Tournament of the Year’ – having won the title for 2022 at the LPGA Tour’s year-end partner meetings in November.

The event also won Best Sponsor Activation in both 2019 and 2022 as well as Best Community and Charity Engagement in 2017, 2019, and 2022.

Last year’s CP Women’s Open was won by Paula Reto, who topped Hye Jin Choi and Nelly Korda by one shot at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club.

First played in 1973, the brightest stars of the LPGA Tour have continued to shine on Canadian soil and inspire the next generation of female golfers.

Golf Town Athlete Brooke Henderson’s victory in 2018 was the first time a Canadian has won on home soil since Jocelyne Bourassa 45 years prior.
