The Marshes Golf Club Hosts Official PGA TOUR Americas Event
The Commissionaires Ottawa Open is pleased to announce that as of this season, the official PGA TOUR Americas event will be held at The Marshes Golf Club in Kanata North. This move marks an exciting new chapter for the tournament as part of a three-year extension agreement with title sponsor Commissionaires Ottawa, running through 2028.
The Marshes Golf Club, one of Ottawa’s top public championship courses, offers a challenging layout that will test the skills of PGA TOUR Americas players while providing an exceptional viewing experience for spectators. Known for its immaculate conditions, natural beauty, and thoughtful design, The Marshes will elevate the tournament to new heights and further its reputation as a must-see stop on the tour. The course also brings a strong pedigree of competitive golf, having previously hosted PGA of Canada Senior Championships and various local and provincial amateur championships, including the World Junior Girls Golf Championship in 2015 and 2017.
“We are thrilled to renew our commitment to this outstanding event,” said Michel Charron, CEO of Commissionaires Ottawa. “Beyond world-class golf, the tournament serves a greater purpose — supporting our community and giving back. Proceeds benefit Soldier On, a Canadian Armed Forces program that helps veterans and serving members overcome physical and mental health challenges through sport. We’re proud to stand behind that mission for another three years.”
Tournament Director Andy Rajhathy expressed enthusiasm about the venue change. “The Marshes brings a whole new level of prestige and challenge to the event. We know players and fans alike will appreciate the transition to such an iconic Ottawa golf course.”
The announcement was made during a public event last June, where Sir Terry Matthews, owner of The Marshes, offered his welcome and reflected on the club’s deep-rooted connection to golf and community in Ottawa.
In addition to tournament play, The Marshes will also host official qualifying events and the ever-popular Pro-Am, providing local players and fans the unique opportunity to engage directly with the tournament.
As excitement builds toward the 2026 debut at The Marshes, members of the public are encouraged to get involved — whether as spectators, volunteers, sponsors, or Pro-Am participants.
The 2026 Commissionaires Ottawa Open will take place July 13–19, 2026. For more information, please visit https://events.clubeg.golf/ottawaopen.
