Golf Canada and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) report that the tournament known since 2014 as the CP Women’s Open is now the CPKC Women’s Open.

The renaming of Canada’s National Women’s Golf Championship follows the historic combination of title sponsor, Canadian Pacific, with Kansas City Southern. The two railway companies came together on April 14 to become CPKC, the first single-line railway network connecting Canada, the U.S. and Mexico.

The 2023 CPKC Women’s Open will be played Aug. 22-27at Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club in Vancouver.

In nine years of title sponsorship of the CPKC Women’s Open, more than $13.5 million has been raised to support children’s heart health in the event’s host communities. 

The 2023 charitable beneficiary of the CPKC Women’s Open will be the B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation in Vancouver.
