There's an argument to be made that 2022 was the most successful year in Canadian golf.
Brooke Henderson, Mackenzie Hughes, and Adam Svensson's combined four wins between the LPGA and PGA Tours were highlights of the season. But the achievements of Canadian golfers were not limited to those victories.
"I think that in the years to come you're going to see those records continue to fall. I wouldn't be surprised to see us eclipse that total, once again, in 2023." "I just love being in contention and being near the top of the leaderboards on the weekend. Hopefully, I can do more of that in 2023," said Henderson, who won two tournaments each LPGA Tour season in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. After the circuit lost its 2020 season Henderson won once in 2021 and was eager to start a new streak of multi-win years.
On Sept. 22, Conners and Pendrith made their Presidents Cup debuts. The two best friends were the first Canadian duo to play in a Presidents Cup at the same time, with Hughes and Adam Hadwin also considered to make the International team at the best-on-best tournament at Quail Hollow Golf Club in Charlotte, N.C.
Golf Canada reported that the Canadian Open drew a record 135,000 spectators to Toronto's St. George's Golf and Country Club as superstar Rory McIlroy won the national title for the second consecutive time. Mona Fortier, president of the Treasury Board and member of Parliament for Ottawa-Vanier, said the investment will help the tournaments stimulate local economies.
