Hello dear golfers,
As part of the PGA TOUR Canada's Quebec Open presented at Golf Château-Bromont, we would like to invite you to participate in the "Celebrity Pro-Am: The Foundation Challenge" on July 10th. The event will be followed by the Fête du Golf, a "Happy Hour" style cocktail party. Two events highlighting golf for a good cause!
The groups will consist of 5 participants, namely:
- 1 PGA TOUR Canada professional;
- 1 Celebrity;
- 3 Amateurs;
The PGA TOUR Canada players are world-class golfers. They are the best players to come out of American universities and they thrive to access the PGA TOUR, where many of the former PGA TOUR Canada players are currently dominating. During the 2022 edition, several NHL alumni, such as Derrick Brassard, Maxime Talbot, and Bruno Gervais, participated in the Pro-Am tournament, and loved the experience of playing with high caliber golfers which gave us the idea for this year's concept: Pro-Am Celebrity: Foundation Challenge!
The groups will be separated into 3 teams, each representing a major foundation that works for the development of youth through school and sports programs. The winning foundation will receive 50% of the prize pool and the other two will each receive 25%. The 3 participating foundations are
For this year's event, 81 celebrities, such as professional athletes, actors, musicians and media personalities will participate in order to raise as much funds as possible for the causes.
As the relaxed post-golf format was an outstanding success in 2022, we came up with the idea of this competitive format followed by a cocktail party in order to optimize fundraising for our youth.
