CALGARY — Although Canada’s lone PGA Tour Champions event will have a different name, the goal will still be the same for Mike Weir.
Like he did during his three previous appearances at the Shaw Charity Classic, Weir will do his best to finish at the top of the leaderboard this August at the tournament - now called the Rogers Charity Classic - at Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club.“For me, I think I probably played a little bit too aggressively,” Weir said. “I think it’s got me into a little bit of trouble.
Weir finished sixth at last week's Insperity Invitational near Houston, a tournament he won in 2021 for his lone senior circuit victory so far. “Hopefully I’ll make a good run at it this year,” said Weir, who noted he’ll face stiff competition from fellow Canadian Stephen Ames, who has won twice this season."He’s been playing some phenomenal golf, probably some of the best golf of his career.Weir added that he was also happy to see Rogers Communications as the new title sponsor. The company made a $1-million donation to kick-start fundraising for this year's tournament.
