The Canadian Women’s Open is set to kick off in Edmonton, while the men’s FedEx Cup playoffs are ongoing in St. Louis, and the rebel LIV league is facing possible closure. The tournament, currently known as the CPKC Women’s Open, returns to Royal Mayfair in Edmonton after an eight-year hiatus. The event boasts a $2.75 million purse, with $412,000 going to the winner, and features six of the top 10 global golfers, including Nelly Korda, the world’s top-ranked player. Notable absentees are Haeran Ryu, Jeeno Thitikul, Lottie Woad, and Charley Hull.
Lydia Ko, ranked 12th, aims for a record-breaking fourth Canadian Open victory. Brooke Henderson, a fan favorite and Canada’s top golfer, seeks another win at the event. Henderson, ranked 11th globally, is still chasing her first victory of 2026. The field includes 14 other Canadian players, such as teenagers Aphrodite Deng, Clairey Lin, and Anna Huang, who have been making waves in the golfing scene.
In the FedEx Cup playoffs, the PGA Tour is nearing its conclusion, with the BMW Championship in St. Louis before the Tour Championship in Atlanta. Scottie Scheffler secured the top spot in the points race, earning $23 million in bonus money. Canadians Sudarshan Yellamaraju, Corey Conners, and Nick Taylor did not advance past the St. Jude Championship but received bonuses for their efforts.
The LIV Golf season faces uncertain times as the league’s future is in question after losing financial backing. The tour will conclude in Indianapolis, with Jon Rahm already securing his third consecutive individual title. The league’s fate remains unclear, as CEO Scott O’Neil seeks new investors to sustain it post-Saudi withdrawal.
