Golf Canada appoints Claire Welsh as CPKC Women’s Open’s new tournament director
Claire Welsh has been named the new tournament director of the CPKC Women’s Open, Canada’s national women’s golf championship.
Welsh, from Barrie, Ont., spent the past 10 years working for the R&A, golf’s governing body in the United Kingdom.
The Women’s Open is a two-time winner of the LPGA Tour’s tournament of the year award.
She takes over from Ryan Paul, who was appointed tournament director of the PGA Tour’s RBC Canadian Open in August.
Paul moved into that role after Bryan Crawford left to become commissioner of the Ontario Hockey League.
The 2025 CPKC Women’s Open will be held August 19-24 for the first time at Mississaugua Golf and Country Club in Mississauga, Ont.
