Golf Tours - Canadian Tour
The Canadian Professional Golf Tour is a
men's professional golf tour.
The Canadian Tour is not one of the six leading men's professional tours
which belong to the International Federation of PGA Tours, but it is one
of the three addition tours on which World Golf Ranking points are
available. This indicates that it is regarded by the golf authorities
are being between the 7th strongest and 9th strongest men's professional
tour in the World. The leading Canadian golfers play primarily on the
PGA Tour rather than on their domestic tour.
The Canadian Open, which is the richest golf event in Canada is a PGA
Tour event. The Canadian Professional Golf Tour receives some exemptions
for the event, but the prize money does not count towards the Canadian
Tour money list. The early season events on the Canadian Professional
Golf Tour take place in the United States, partly due to the cold
Canadian winters. The tour also receives exemptions for a few Challenge
Tour events.
