Golf Canada has confirmed what we first speculated about in Mid-April, that the National Women’s Open will transition from the name of CP Women’s Open to the CPKC Women’s Open, in alignment with the name change of the corporate sponsor.
April 14th saw the merger of National Women’s Open sponsor Canadian Pacific with Kansas City Southern, becoming CPKC, a railway network connecting Canada, the United States, and Mexico.
As a result the CP Women’s Open, Canada’s only LPGA Tour event, will now be known as the CPKC Women’s Open.
“We are extremely proud to partner with CPKC in this new chapter of the railway’s storied, iconic history,” said CPKC Women’s Tournament Director Ryan Paul. “CPKC remains a major supporter of women’s golf globally and we look forward to introducing the new CPKC Women’s Open brand across the tournament.”
“This event, the lone Canadian stop on the LPGA Tour, showcases CPKC’s continued commitment to our world-class championship that raises significant amounts of money for children’s heart health in a host communities across Canada,” Paul added.
The 2023 CPKC Women’s Open will be played August 22-27, 2023, at Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club in Vancouver, B.C.
In nine years of title sponsorship of the CPKC Women’s Open, more than $13.5 million has been raised to support children’s heart health in the event’s host communities. The 2023 charitable beneficiary of the CPKC Women’s Open will be the B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation in Vancouver, B.C.
