Veteran sports journalist dedicated to elevating Quebec’s sports community and its athletes

Sherbrooke, Que. — Golf Canada mourns the passing of Mario Brisebois, a journalist and columnist who died following an illness. A respected voice in Quebec sport for five decades, Brisebois helped raise the profile of golf, skiing and tennis through his reporting and his longstanding support of athletes and the organizations that serve them.

Brisebois spent 36 years at Le Journal de Montréal and also worked in radio, including 98.5 FM, and appeared on television as a commentator on RDS. His knowledge and insight were frequently sought by sport organizations, including Ski Québec, Tennis Canada and Golf Québec, and he worked closely with Golf Canada for many years.

Born in Shawinigan, Que., Brisebois developed an early love of golf. In 1973, he caddied for Jocelyne Bourassa during her victory at the LPGA’s La Canadienne tournament in Montréal, an experience that helped shape his path in sport and journalism.

Brisebois was inducted into the Quebec Golf Hall of Fame in 2018. He received Golf Canada’s Distinguished Service Award in 2003 in recognition of his contributions to the game in Canada. In 2005, he co-founded the Pierre-Nadon Award, presented annually to recognize individuals who have contributed to the development of golf in Quebec.

His coverage of Quebec athletes in skiing was recognized by the International Ski Federation, which named him an outstanding columnist. In tennis, he was named Journalist of the Year by Tennis Québec and was inducted into the Québec Tennis Hall of Fame as a Builder.

Known for his professionalism, kindness and attention to emerging athletes, Brisebois earned the respect of colleagues and competitors across Quebec’s sport community. His storytelling focused not only on results but also on the work and sacrifice behind them.

Diane Dunlop-Hébert, former president of Golf Canada and Golf Québec and a board member of The R&A, said Brisebois was “a true gentleman” whose career was devoted to elevating Quebec’s top talents.

Brisebois is survived by his partner, Nicole, his daughters, Andréanne and Catherine, and his grandchildren, Olivier, Sara Maude, William, Édouard and Henri. The family thanked the medical teams at the Jewish General Hospital in Montréal and the Centre hospitalier universitaire de Sherbrooke for their care.

A memorial event will be held in the coming weeks. Details will be shared by the family at a later date.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Brooke Henderson will have a new face on her bag for the bulk of the 2026 LPGA Tour season as her sister and longtime caddie, Brittany, prepares for a different kind of delivery.

The Henderson family confirmed that Brittany is pregnant and expecting her first child with husband Zach Sepanik in June. As a result, Canada’s winningest professional golfer will turn to veteran looper John Killeen to handle caddie duties for most of the upcoming campaign.

“Britt and I have worked so well together for the past 10 seasons — and she is my best friend,” Brooke Henderson said in an interview with Sportsnet’s Adam Stanley. “We travel together all the time, so this is going to be a big change, but I’m looking forward to the challenge.”

The Henderson sisters have formed one of the most formidable and recognizable partnerships in professional golf. Since Brittany took over full-time caddie duties in 2015, she has been on the bag for 12 of Brooke’s 14 LPGA Tour titles, including two major championships.

The transition will not be immediate. Brittany is scheduled to caddie for the season-opening Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions in Orlando, which begins Jan. 29. Brooke enters that event as a past champion, having won the tournament with Brittany in 2023.

Following the opener, Killeen will take over the bag as the tour moves to Asia. Killeen brings more than 40 years of experience to the role, having previously worked for Hall of Fame members Juli Inkster and Meg Mallon, as well as major winner Cristie Kerr.

While Killeen handles the yardages, Brittany’s absence will also be felt on the practice range. In addition to her role as caddie, she has long served as Brooke’s de facto swing coach while on the road, acting as the eyes and ears for their father and primary coach, Dave Henderson.

Brittany, a former professional golfer herself and a member of the Coastal Carolina University Athletics Hall of Fame, hasn’t completely ruled out a cameo later in the year. She suggested a return for the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship in November remains a “hopeful possibility,” provided the timing and logistics of new motherhood allow.

For the 28-year-old Brooke, the 2026 season represents a major shift in her professional environment, but the Smiths Falls, Ont., native said she is focused on the personal milestone for her sister.

“I’m super excited,” Brooke said. “It’s amazing. I’m really happy for Brittany and Zach and I’m excited to be an aunt as well.”

The 2026 LPGA season features a record-breaking schedule, with Henderson expected to remain a central figure in the hunt for her 14th career victory and a climb back up the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings.

Canada’s Brooke Henderson has been named to the inaugural group of LPGA Tour players committed to WTGL, a new tech‑driven women’s team golf league launching in the winter of 2026‑27. The LPGA and TMRW Sports announced the first five confirmed athletes on Monday, a group that includes World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand, England’s Charley Hull, New Zealand’s Lydia Ko, U.S. standout Lexi Thompson and Henderson, the winningest professional golfer in Canadian history.

Henderson, 26, enters the league with a résumé unmatched in Canadian golf: 14 LPGA Tour victories, including two majors, three Olympic appearances and multiple season‑ending honours such as the LPGA Founders Award. Her inclusion places her alongside both the current world No. 1 and several established global champions as WTGL positions itself as a modern, entertainment‑oriented showcase for the women’s game.

WTGL will feature short‑form, team‑based match play inside the custom‑built SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., the same venue that hosts TGL presented by SoFi, the men’s league co‑founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.

“WTGL will be a global stage to showcase LPGA Tour stars, and this first wave of committed players represents that opportunity with some of the world’s best,” said Mike McCarley, founder and CEO, TMRW Sports. “These players will thrive in WTGL’s competitive environment as fans will witness their skill and connect more deeply with their personalities through the unprecedented access the league delivers with every player mic’d in the modern match play team format.”

Additional WTGL player announcements and team information are expected in the coming months. More details are available at WTGLGolf.com.

First Tee, Golf Digest honour 2025 network award winners advancing youth through golf

MONCTON, N.B. — What began as a routine school day ended in celebration for Michelle Phillips LeBlanc.

Last September, colleagues, students and members of First Tee – Atlantic gathered at Forest Glen School to surprise Phillips LeBlanc with the news that she had been named the 2025 First Tee Teacher of the Year, a networkwide honour presented annually by First Tee in partnership with Golf Digest.

The award recognizes educators who excel in implementing the First Tee School Program and fostering connections between their schools and the local First Tee chapter. Phillips LeBlanc was selected for her efforts in increasing access to golf and life skills for hundreds of students in one of Moncton’s most culturally diverse communities.

“Michelle goes above and beyond every day,” said Heather Davis, principal of Forest Glen School. “She inspires teachers and students alike and has built a phys. ed. program unlike anything I’ve seen before.”

Since introducing First Tee at Forest Glen in 2021, Phillips LeBlanc has engaged more than 400 students, many of whom are new to Canada and unfamiliar with golf. Through multilingual signage, adaptive equipment and flexible lesson plans, she has created an inclusive environment where all students can participate in the program’s character-building activities.

Her impact extends beyond the school. Phillips LeBlanc organized field trips for Grade 3 and 4 students to a local First Tee facility, giving many their first experience on a golf course. These visits sparked increased interest and enrolment in on-course programming.

To meet growing demand, Phillips LeBlanc and a colleague completed First Tee Assistant Coach training and volunteered as on-course coaches to promote ongoing learning. She also coordinated transportation and centralized pickup locations to reduce barriers for families.

“Michelle is humble, kind, and passionate about everything she does,” said Kiley MacDonald, coordinator of First Tee – Atlantic. “She embodies the mission and values of First Tee.”

Phillips LeBlanc believed the September 10 visit was for filming program content. As students took part in activities in the gym, they were quietly informed of the real reason for the visit and invited to share what made their teacher special. When the announcement was made, the room filled with tears and applause.

“Mrs. Phillips is very nice and always makes sure no one misses out,” said a Grade 4 student.

Phillips LeBlanc was officially named Teacher of the Year on November 5, 2025, as part of First Tee’s network awards. Each recipient receives a $25,000 award from First Tee and Golf Digest, with $12,500 supporting the local First Tee chapter and $12,500 awarded to the facility where the program is delivered. In Phillips LeBlanc’s case, the funding will support First Tee – Atlantic and Forest Glen School.

For First Tee – Atlantic, the recognition highlights the powerful role educators play in growing the game and using golf as a tool for positive youth development — benefiting students’ lives one swing at a time.

TORONTO, ON — RBC announced professional golfer Shane Lowry as its newest Team RBC brand ambassador, joining a world-class roster that embodies excellence, leadership and community.

The Golf Journalists Association of Canada (GJAC) has announced their golf story of the year, as well as various Player of the Year awards for the 2025 season.

Below are the GJAC’s selections for the 2025 season.

Brooke Henderson’s Victory at the CPKC Canadian Women’s Open Named Golf Story of the Year

Brooke Henderson’s memorable win at the CPKC Canadian Women’s Open at Mississaugua Golf and Country Club was named the GJAC Canadian Golf Story of the Year. Henderson captured her second CPKC Canadian Women’s Open title in August, prevailing by one stroke in a dramatic final round over Minjee Lee. The victory marked a special moment for Canadian golf, as Henderson once again claimed the national championship in front of a home audience.

Corey Conners Named Male Professional Player of the Year

Corey Conners earned Male Professional Player of the Year honours following one of the most consistent seasons of his PGA TOUR career. Conners finished fourth in the FedEx Cup standings and recorded three top-five finishes despite not securing a tournament victory. He also posted top-20 finishes in all three major championships he completed during the season. Conners concluded the year ranked 30th in the Official World Golf Ranking.

Brooke Henderson Named Female Professional Player of the Year

Brooke Henderson was also named Female Professional Player of the Year, continuing her leadership among Canadian players on the LPGA Tour. Her season included a top-10 finish at the CPE Group Tour Championship and her historic victory at the CPKC Canadian Women’s Open. Henderson finished the year ranked 24th in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings.

Hunter Thomson and Isaiah Ibit Named Male Amateur Players of the Year

The GJAC selected co-winners for Male Amateur Player of the Year.

Isaiah Ibit enjoyed an impressive freshman season at Kent State University, earning MAC Freshman of the Year honours. He also made the cut at a PGA TOUR Americas event and finished runner-up at the Can-Am Championship. Ibit concluded the year ranked 359th in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.

Hunter Thomson, who attended the University of Michigan, won his NCAA Regional, finished 24th on PGA TOUR U, and turned professional during the season while retaining his Amateur Ranking status for 2026. Despite competing as an amateur for only part of the year, his accomplishments earned strong recognition from voters. Thomson turned professional ranked 68th in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.

Aphrodite Deng Named Female Amateur Player of the Year

Aphrodite Deng was named Female Amateur Player of the Year following a standout season that included a tie for 20th and low amateur honours at the CPKC Canadian Women’s Open, along with a strong showing at the U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship and multiple junior victories throughout the year. Deng also captured Rolex Junior Player of the Year honours and finished the season ranked 14th in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.

“It is an exciting time in our calendar where we share the results of our Association vote for our year end players and Canadian golf story of the year awards,” said Mike Johnny, President of the Golf Journalists Association of Canada. “While the competitive golf landscape in Canada continues to thrive, it is nice to see new names emerge, reflective of the competition within Canada to compete on the world stage. At home, participation in the game remains high and grassroots initiatives to expand engagement in golf are flourishing. A Canadian winning our national open is always exciting. Canada is always proud to showcase the best players coming to compete on the world stage.”

One day. One hundred holes. A commitment that leaves a lasting mark. Across the country, participants in Youth on Course’s annual 100 Hole Hike closed out a demanding day on the course with a shared sense of achievement and a clear view of the difference they are making in junior golf accessibility.

Golf Canada offers affordable access to the sport through Youth on Course, which provides members aged six to eighteen with subsidized green fees of $5 or less at over one hundred participating courses. The 100 Hole Hike is the program’s flagship fundraising initiative. Golfers walk one hundred holes in a single day to raise funds for local Youth on Course programs. Since 2019, over 120,000 rounds have been subsidized. This season alone, 8,154 members played nearly 50,000 subsidized rounds across the country.

Four Youth on Course 100 Hole Hikes took place from August to October at Silverwood Golf Club in Saskatoon, Sask.; Bic sur Mer in Rimouski, Que.; Mill Run Golf Club in Uxbridge, Ont.; and Cabot Cape Breton in Inverness, N.S. This included the second international Youth on Course Premier 100 Hole Hike, a three-day event.

A total of 44 Hikers participated this year, raising $92,800 to expand Youth on Course access in communities across Canada.

Each event showcased stories of resilience, purpose, and personal motivation.

Honouring a loved one

At the Ontario event, a foursome traveled from Collingwood early that morning to honour the late David Moser, a husband, friend, and avid supporter of junior golf.

“Golf played an instrumental role in David’s life,” said his wife, Janet. “He strongly believed in affordable junior golf, so Joy, Derek, Danielle and I were thrilled to honour him through this fundraiser.”

Support from media and influencers

At Cabot Cape Breton, media personalities and influencers joined the Premier Hike, lending their voices to the program’s mission.

“Golf is an incredible game that teaches different life lessons,” said Adam Scully, host and producer of Golf Talk Canada at TSN. “To support such an amazing cause that gives back to others who may not otherwise have the opportunity to play, at one of the greatest facilities in Canada, means the world to me.”

A challenge with purpose

From the first tee at sunrise to the final putt at dusk, participants embraced both the physical challenges and the purpose behind their efforts. Many shared the satisfaction that comes from helping to lower financial barriers for young golfers while taking on a test of endurance.

“For me personally, access to junior golf provided an opportunity to grow as a young man on and off the course,” said Hiker Chris Bowman, who took part to support his son’s continued involvement in the game. “There is so much value in what the game can teach our youth, and providing these benefits to juniors who normally would not have the chance makes a real impact.”

Impact on host facilities

For host clubs, the event underscored the tangible influence of Youth on Course and the enthusiasm of communities committed to growing the game.

“We have seen firsthand how Youth on Course benefits our junior golfers. Just this year, nearly 500 subsidised five-dollar rounds were provided to Youth on Course members at our facility,” said Matt Savage, general manager at Mill Run Golf Club. “Hosting the Hike was an easy decision, and our members were fully supportive.”

Looking ahead

The success of this year’s events shows both the dedication of participants and the ongoing demand for affordable junior golf opportunities. Golf Canada aims to build on this momentum next season by increasing the number of subsidised rounds offered through Youth on Course initiatives.

“We are incredibly grateful to everyone who took on the challenge this season,” said Nathalie Mihalek, Golf Canada’s National Manager of Youth on Course. “Their efforts directly help more youth get out on the golf course, and we look forward to welcoming even more Hikers next year.”

Just Swing

The 2026 PGA TOUR Americas schedule will feature a strong Canadian presence, with six tournaments staged coast-to-coast as part of the 15-event season announced by the PGA TOUR.

Running April through October and visiting nine countries, the tour’s third campaign again offers a direct pathway to the Korn Ferry Tour, with the top 10 players on the year-end points list earning membership for 2027. The season will conclude Oct. 15–18 at the PGA Oceans 4 Tour Championship in the Dominican Republic.

Canadian golf fans will see the circuit in full force during a nearly two-month stretch beginning in July, marking the largest national footprint on the schedule.

The Explore NB Open in Fredericton, N.B., opens the Canadian swing from July 9–12 at Mactaquac Golf Course. The tour then moves into Ontario for back-to-back weeks: the Commissionaires Ottawa Open presented by Lépine Apartments at The Marshes Golf Club (July 16–19), followed by the Osprey Valley Open at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley’s Heathlands course (July 23–26).

Competition returns Aug. 20–23 with the Manitoba Open at Elmhurst Golf & Country Club in Winnipeg, one of the longest-running tournaments in Canadian golf. The western portion of the schedule begins Sept. 10–13 as the Digital Commerce Group Open is played at Uplands Golf Club in Victoria. The Canadian segment wraps up Sept. 17–20 in Edmonton, where Blackhawk Golf Club hosts the ATB Classic presented by Building Trades of Alberta.

“The quality of golf courses, sponsors and community support on PGA TOUR Americas continues to rise,” said Alex Baldwin, president of PGA TOUR Americas and the Korn Ferry Tour, in a statement. “We have 15 great tournaments on our 2026 schedule, and each one provides a chance for the future stars of the PGA TOUR to develop the skills needed to succeed at the next level.”

The season opens April 16–19 with the 71st ECP Brazil Open at the Rio Olympic Golf Course, followed by stops in Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, Colombia and the United States before the tour shifts north into Canada.

The top 60 players following the ATB Classic will qualify for the season-ending Tour Championship in the Dominican Republic. Beyond Korn Ferry Tour status for the top 10, all 10 will also earn US$15,000 through the Pathways Player Achievement Grant.

PGA TOUR Americas membership for 2026 will be finalized after Q-School, held in March across five U.S. sites. Eligibility includes tournament winners, returning members, top finishers from the 2025 points list and graduates of PGA TOUR University.

Canadian golf executive Peter Broome has been elected an honorary member of the PGA of America in recognition of his lifelong commitment to the game and his support for golf professionals around the world.

Broome, a native of Montréal, becomes only the 13th person to receive the honour. The recognition was formally presented during the PGA of America’s annual meeting in November 2025.

Broome’s connection to the game began at Royal Montreal Golf Club and Club de Golf Mount Bruno, where he played competitively as a junior and collected several local and provincial titles. His early development under PGA of Canada professional Bob Hogarth helped shape his appreciation for the work of club professionals and the business of golf.

After completing a degree in education at McGill University, Broome began working in golf operations before joining the Acushnet Company — the parent company of Titleist and FootJoy. Over a career spanning more than 30 years, he rose to senior vice-president of brand management and industry relations. He oversaw business operations in Canada and Latin America and built partnerships with many of golf’s leading governing bodies and associations.

“Both Adam and I were thrilled to learn of this incredible honour bestowed on our colleague Peter Broome. Being named an Honorary Member of the PGA of America is a testament not only to his remarkable career but also to the countless individuals whose careers he has profoundly influenced. Peter’s contributions to the game are immense, reflecting his deep love for golf and his unwavering commitment to its growth and success in Canada. We are overjoyed for Peter and his family,” said Laurence Applebaum, Golf Canada’s chief executive officer.

Golf Canada president Adam Daifallah echoed Applebaum’s remarks, adding that Broome’s recognition “underscores the lasting impact of his leadership and dedication to advancing the sport both in Canada and internationally.”

Broome joined the Golf Canada board of directors in 2024 as a director-at-large. He currently co-chairs the Golf Industry Advisory Council and serves on the organisation’s Compensation Committee. His experience and insight have strengthened Golf Canada’s collaboration with manufacturers, facilities and professional bodies across the country.

In 2024, Broome was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The following year, he and his family established the Bridge Foundation to support ALS research, treatment and patient care. His courage and continued involvement in golf have inspired many within the sport.

From promising junior to global industry leader, Broome’s career has reflected a deep respect for the game and the professionals who make it possible. His election as an honorary member of the PGA of America stands as a testament to his contributions and to the lasting impact of Canadian leadership within the sport. Golf Canada congratulates Peter Broome and his family on this achievement.
