RBC Canadian Open to Tee Off in Caledon with $125K Investment from Ontario Government
CALEDON – The RBC Canadian Open, one of Canada’s most prestigious professional golf tournaments, is headed to Caledon next month, bringing with it global talent, tourism opportunities, and a major boost to the local economy. The Ontario government is supporting the event with a $125,000 investment, reinforcing its commitment to homegrown tourism and sport-driven economic development.
The announcement was made by Stan Cho, Ontario’s Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming, and shared by Deputy Premier Sylvia Jones, who also represents the Dufferin–Caledon region. Cho emphasized the importance of events like this in revitalizing regional tourism.
“At a time when supporting homegrown tourism experiences is as important as ever, we’re proud to invest $125K to help bring the world’s best golfers to Ontario,” said Cho. “Events like this draw visitors and boost our local economy.”
⛳ What This Means for Caledon
The RBC Canadian Open is part of the PGA Tour and routinely attracts top-ranked golfers, international media, and tens of thousands of fans. Its arrival in Caledon will mark a first for the community, known for its scenic landscapes and growing reputation as a regional destination.
Local officials and business leaders are welcoming the move, which is expected to bring tourism revenue, hotel bookings, restaurant traffic, and increased visibility to the Caledon area. The provincial investment will help support logistics, marketing, and visitor engagement initiatives tied to the tournament.
The Open’s presence in Caledon is also being seen as a key test of the region’s readiness to host more high-profile events in the future, particularly in light of broader tourism strategies for rural and semi-urban Ontario communities.
🏌️♂️ A Win for Ontario Tourism
The RBC Canadian Open joins a growing roster of major events the province is backing in 2025, as part of a broader push to revive Ontario’s visitor economy post-pandemic. Provincial tourism officials have emphasized that investing in world-class events not only helps drive economic activity but also puts Ontario on the global stage as a premier destination for sport, culture, and entertainment.
Exact dates, venue details, and ticketing information for the 2025 RBC Canadian Open in Caledon are expected to be released in the coming days.
