And what will be a major carrot to top players, both Canadian and international, will be the perk for the winner — not just a fat first-place cheque but also an automatic spot in the RBC Canadian Open. That US$5-million PGA Tour event takes place the following week at Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, Ont.

The optics of all the modifications to Manitoba’s event are positive. It elevates the Canadian Tour’s standing in the eyes of its fellow tours. It’s a solid shot of adrenaline to the event here when other news from the past, while not necessarily negative, has been challenging because it’s not considered ideal to be backed farther into July to go head-to-head with the British Open, or to butt up against Canadian Open week, and it certainly isn’t any easier getting volunteers so essential to any tournament the deeper you go into summer vacation time.

Not to mention it’s always important to feel rewarded for being one of the Canadian Tour’s cornerstone events.
