The CP Women’s Open is truly an 'Open' championship. As our national championship, non-LPGA Tour members have the unique opportunity to qualify and compete against the best players in the world in one of the biggest events on the LPGA Tour.
Originally a 54-hole tournament for its first six years; it has been a four-round (72-hole) tournament since 1978. From 1979 through 2000, the event was one of the LPGA Tour's four major championships.
From 2007 to 2009, the CP Women’s Open had the third richest event purse on the LPGA Tour, behind only the U.S. Women's Open and the Evian Masters. The $2.25 million purse remains among the highest on the LPGA Tour.
In 2012, amateur Lydia Ko became the youngest-ever winner of an LPGA Tour event. At 15 years and four months, she surpassed the record set by Lexi Thompson at 16 years and seven months in September 2011. Ko's win also made her only the fifth amateur to have won an LPGA Tour event, and the first in over 43 years. She successfully defended her win as an amateur in 2013, and won her third in 2015 as a professional.
In 2018, Brooke Henderson scored one for Canada, when she became the first Canadian female in 45 years to win Canada’s national golf title.
