    Pro Tip: Women's Canadian Open

    The best golfers in the world are coming to Mississauga for the 2025 CPKC Women’s Open.

    This year’s Canadian National Women’s Open goes from Aug. 20-24 at the Mississaugua Golf and Country Club and in the process, the storied layout will become just the eighth course in the country to host all of the Canadian Men’s Amateur, Canadian Women’s Amateur, RBC Canadian Open, and CPKC Women’s Open.

    The latest to join the group was Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club in 2023.

    “Hosting this wonderful tournament at our historic club gives us the opportunity to not only showcase our championship golf course but proudly share Mississaugua with the rest of Canada and the world,” said Rodger Leslie, Mississaugua Golf and Country Club President, at the time of the announcement that the club would play host.

    “The Members of Mississaugua are thrilled to welcome the very best LPGA Tour players to the Club for the 2025 CPKC Women’s Open.”

    While the course has hosted the RBC Canadian Open six times previous, the last was in 1974 (won by Bobby Nichols). Sam Snead and Walter Hagen are also past champions.

    It’s set to play just over 6,600 yards with most of the course winding through a valley along the Credit River.

    The par-3 10th will be transformed into The Rink for 2025.

    The best of the best are all set to tee it up in Canada – led by World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul and a return of No. 2 Nelly Korda. Korda did not play last year due to the schedule shift with the Paris Olympics but returns to Canada looking for her first win of the season.

    In fact, there has yet to be a repeat winner on the LPGA Tour so far in 2025 with each of the tournaments being won by a different golfer.

    All of the game’s top five (Lydia Ko at No. 3, Ruoning Yin at No. 4, and Minjee Lee at No. 5) are all set to tee it up. Lee comes to Canada after having captured the Rolex ANNIKA Major Award as she – the winner of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship – had the best cumulative results at the five majors out of anyone this year.

    “The CPKC Women’s Open draws one of the strongest fields on the LPGA Tour and we look forward to watching these incredible athletes compete in Mississauga,” said tournament director Claire Welsh at CPKC Women’s Open media day. “We have welcomed nearly 1,000 volunteer registrations, highlighting the excitement to be part of this special tournament. The CPKC Women’s Open is one of the top yearly women’s sporting events in Canada and fans are in store for a very memorable week this August.”

    Of course, the biggest cheering section on site will be for the Canadian contingent led by Brooke Henderson. Henderson, who won the tournament in Regina in 2018, hasn’t had her best season – by her own admission – but with plenty of time still left in 2025 she’s hoping to have a late-season surge kickstarted by the CPKC Women’s Open.

    Henderson was in the final group on Sunday the last time the event was hosted in the GTA, eventually finishing tied for third behind then No.1 Jin Young Ko at Magna Golf Club. Henderson missed the cut at the AIG Women’s Open in her last start but said that week that she was very pleased with her ball-striking which has held her back so far in 2025.

    Also in the field from a Canadian standpoint is veteran Alena Sharp, who is playing in her 20th CPKC Women’s Open and will be inducted into the Ontario Golf Hall of Fame during tournament week. 15-year-old Aphrodite Deng is also set to tee it up after becoming first Canadian to win the U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship earlier this summer.

    From veterans to youngsters and all the superstars in between – all teeing it up on one of Canada’s most historic layouts – it’s set to be an incredible week at the CPKC Women’s Open.
