CPKC Women’s Open Returns to Royal Ottawa Golf Club in Gatineau for Aug. 18–22, 2027
CPKC Women’s Open returns to Gatineau’s Royal Ottawa Golf Club Aug. 18–22, 2027, marking the LPGA event’s return to Quebec and the national capital region.
The CPKC Women’s Open will be staged at Royal Ottawa Golf Club from Aug. 18–22, 2027, organizers confirmed Monday, bringing Canada’s lone LPGA Tour stop back to the national capital region. The announcement signals the tournament’s return to Quebec for the 14th time and its first appearance in the province since 2011.
The event will revive a championship presence at Royal Ottawa that last hosted a CPKC Women’s Open in 2000, and it arrives amid renewed local enthusiasm following recent national amateur events held at the club. Tournament officials said the selection reflects both the club’s history and the region’s strong support for women’s professional golf.
Royal Ottawa to host CPKC Women’s Open Aug. 18–22, 2027
Royal Ottawa Golf Club will serve as the course for the 2027 CPKC Women’s Open, with competition scheduled over five days in mid‑August. The club’s fairways and greens will welcome a full LPGA field as players compete for national ranking points and prize money.
Organizers from Golf Canada noted that the site selection came after consultations with local partners and the club membership, and that planning will begin immediately to prepare for tournament infrastructure, spectator access and broadcast requirements.
A club with deep Canadian golf roots
Founded in 1891, Royal Ottawa is one of North America’s oldest golf clubs and holds a long record of hosting national championships. The club has staged more Canadian amateur championships than most venues and remains one of only eight clubs to have hosted Golf Canada’s four premier events.
Club officials and Golf Canada highlighted Royal Ottawa’s experience hosting high‑profile competitions, including recent national amateur championships, as a reason the venue is well‑suited to accommodate an LPGA stop of this scale. The course’s history and layout were cited as attractive to both players and fans.
Quebec return and tournament rotation
The 2027 event will mark the 14th time the CPKC Women’s Open has been held in Quebec, ending a gap that stretches back to 2011 for a provincial staging. The tournament follows an east‑west rotation each year, a schedule that helps spread the LPGA’s Canadian presence across multiple provinces and time zones.
Golf Canada said the rotation and the region’s proximity to major population centres influenced the decision to return to the national capital region. Officials expect the location to draw spectators from both Gatineau and neighbouring Ottawa, reinforcing the tournament’s national profile.
Brooke Henderson, local stars and fan interest
Canada’s Brooke Henderson was singled out as a likely local draw, with the national star expressing eagerness to play in front of friends and family at Royal Ottawa. Henderson, whose hometown of Smiths Falls, Ont., is roughly an hour from the club, won her second CPKC Women’s Open title in Mississauga and has continued to be a prominent figure for Canadian golf.
Organizers said Henderson’s stature and regional ties are expected to boost ticket demand and community engagement, while also encouraging attendance from families and youth programs eager to see an LPGA event close to home. Local golf clubs and academies have already signaled interest in partnering with tournament volunteers and junior initiatives.
Planning, partnerships and community impact
Golf Canada COO Garrett Ball thanked Royal Ottawa’s membership and staff and noted partnerships with Ville de Gatineau, Tourism Outaouais, the City of Ottawa and Ottawa Tourism. Ball called Gatineau “a passionate golf community” and said cooperative planning will aim to deliver “a memorable experience” for players and fans in 2027.
Beyond the on‑course competition, hosts expect economic and promotional benefits for the region through visitor spending, broadcast exposure and tourism programming. Event planners indicated they will coordinate transportation, hospitality and fan zones while working with municipal authorities to manage logistics and security.
Preparations will also address volunteer recruitment, corporate sponsorships and community programming designed to broaden access to the sport. Organizers said details on ticketing, volunteer registration and hospitality packages will be released in the months ahead as planning advances.
The CPKC Women’s Open continues in 2026 at Royal Mayfair Golf Club in Edmonton from Aug. 19–23, giving fans a final preview of the field before the national capital region hosts the tournament in 2027.
