Alberta Golf (Calgary) – Alberta’s Covid-19 relaunch strategy will see golf courses open across the province as early as Saturday, May 2nd. The news delivered by Alberta Premier Jason Kenny during a Thursday afternoon briefing.

Courses will operate under the NAGA-AB protocol document created over the past month. NAGA-AB consists of Alberta Golf, The PGA of Alberta, along with golf course General Managers, Owners and Superintendents.

NAGA-AB President Robert Rousselle said the hard work this past month of the entire golf course industry led to the good news.

“We are excited and support the Government of Alberta position on this afternoon’s announcement. The National Allied Golf Association of Alberta (NAGA-AB’s) role from day one was to be part of the solution at all levels.” Rousselle said.

“We worked closely with all segments of our industry and government to support them with the proper tools to be successful with the prevention of COVID-19 challenges. The opening of the Golf Industry is a positive step forward in helping Albertans with mental health, physical activity and the recovery of our provincial economy. I have to congratulate the NAGA-AB team for the determination and accomplishment for the past month of hard work to develop a robust document to protect our guests, members and industry employees.”

MONTREAL – Golf pro shops will be able to open their doors as of May 4, with the exception of those in the Montréal Metropolitan Community (MMC), which will be able to reopen as of May 11.

This news follows the Québec government’s announcement of April 28 stating that retail businesses with direct access to the outdoors will be able to resume operations.

It is important that shops have a customer entrance that faces a street, parking lot or public road. In addition, health and safety measures for workers and customers will have to be implemented and respected.

The golf industry eagerly awaits the opening of golf courses and practice areas for the benefit of Québec’s numerous golfers. All golf enthusiasts are looking forward to the progressive deconfinement so that they can enjoy the physical and mental benefits associated with the practice of golf.

This first wave of opening will allow golf clubs to implement best practices within their businesses and contribute to the recovery of the local economy.

The Commission des normes, de l’équité, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail (CNESST) has made available a toolkit for the retail sector.

Lausanne, SWITZERLAND – The International Golf Federation and International Olympic Committee have announced an adjustment to the qualifying system for the Tokyo2020 Olympic Games to accommodate the new dates of competition in 2021.

In light of the one-year delay, athletes now will accumulate Olympic Golf Rankings (OGR) points through a period ending on 21 June 2021 for the men and 28 June 2021 for the women. The field for both men and women will consist of 60 players.

The OGR is based on the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) for men and the Women’s World Golf Rankings (WWGR). On March 20, the Governing Boards of the OWGR and WWGR determined the rankings would be suspended due to the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. An announcement about the resumption of each respective ranking will be made in due course.

The IGF’s announcement of the revision followed the IOC’s decision to postpone the Olympic Games and its subsequent release of the revised principles for Olympic qualification on 2 April 2020 that included the relaxation of the maximum two-year period and amendments to the qualification deadlines. The IGF revised the dates within the current qualification system to reflect these new dates and submitted the revised version to the IOC Qualification taskforce for approval.

“Having received from the IOC confirmation of the dates for when the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games will be held and the qualification principles, the fairest and most equitable way to determine the qualifying athletes was to align the previous qualification system with these new dates,” said Antony Scanlon, IGF Executive Director. “We are pleased that the IOC swiftly approved these changes to provide clarity on this important area. The IGF will continue to work closely with the IOC and Tokyo 2020 to address the other areas that the postponement of the Games affects our sport and our athletes, to develop the necessary plans to resolve these. We remain fully committed to providing safe and fair golf competitions and a memorable experience for our athletes when these Olympic Games are held in 2021.”

The OGR is calculated as follows: Each tournament earns a strength-of-field rating which determines how many ranking points will be awarded to top finishers.  Points are awarded to players based on their finish positions in each event, with performances in stronger-field events earning more points in accordance with a points distribution table approved by the IGF.

With the revision, ranking points for each player accumulate over a multi-year rolling period with the points awarded in the most recent 13-week period weighted at 100 percent of their original value. After the initial 13-week period, points are devalued by 1.1 percent for each of the next 91 weeks (during which the ranking was not suspended) before they drop entirely off the player’s record. Each player is then ranked according to his/her average number of points, which is determined by dividing the total number of ranking points she/he has earned by the number of tournaments in which she/he has played during that period. There is a minimum divisor of 35 events for the Women’s OGR while for the Men’s OGR, there is a minimum divisor of 40 events and a maximum divisor of 52 events.

In the event of ties at any of the 60 starting positions, the ties will be broken by the following criteria, in order:

• Total Official World Golf Ranking points earned in the most recent 52-week period, ending with the Olympic Golf Ranking as of Monday 21 June 2021 for the men and Monday 28 June 2021 for the women.

• Total Official World Golf Ranking points earned in the most recent 13-week period, ending with the Olympic Golf Ranking as of Monday 21 June 2021 for the men and Monday 28 June 2021 for the women.

The top-15 players at the end of the qualifying period will be eligible for the Olympics, with a limit of four players from a given country. Beyond the top-15, players will be eligible based on the world rankings, with a maximum of two eligible players from each country that does not already have two or more players among the top-15. The host country will be guaranteed a spot, as will each of the five continental regions.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Given the continued impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic and in collaboration with its partners, the LPGA Tour today is announcing updates to the remainder of its 2020 schedule in preparation for a safe and responsible return to competition.

The LPGA recently informed its athletes that it is currently targeting a restart of the 2020 LPGA Tour season in mid-July.

“One thing that has become clear is that there will be no ‘opening bell’ regarding a return to safe play in this new normal of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said LPGA Commissioner Mike Whan. “To be honest, being ‘first’ has never been the goal when it comes to returning to play in this new normal. We have built a schedule that we think is as safe as possible given what we know about travel bans, testing availability, and delivering events that our sponsors and our athletes will be excited to attend.

“While July seems like a long way away, we are certainly aware that restarting our season in Michigan, Ohio and New Jersey will require a continued improvement in the situation in each of those states.”

The Walmart NW Arkansas Championship presented by P&G in Rogers, Ark., originally scheduled for June 19-21, will now take place Aug. 28-30. The Marathon Classic presented by Dana in Sylvania, Ohio, originally scheduled for July 9-12, will now be held July 23-26.

The PGA of America also announced Wednesday that the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pa., originally scheduled for June 25-28, will move to Oct. 8-11. For more information, please visit pga.com.

Additional changes have also been made to deliver a full LPGA Tour season for 2020.

The Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give in Grand Rapids, Mich., previously postponed from its June date, has been rescheduled for Oct. 1-4. The Pelican Women’s Championship presented by DEX Imaging in Belleair, Fla., which had been rescheduled to November, will shift one week later to Nov. 19-22, and the Volunteers of America Classic in The Colony, Texas will move to Dec. 3-6.

Finally, the CME Group Tour Championship in Naples, Fla., originally scheduled for Nov. 19-22, will move to Dec. 17-20 and will be the final event of the 2020 LPGA Tour season.

Due to the limited dates available for official full-field events on the LPGA calendar, the UL International Crown will not take place in 2020. Additionally, the Volvik Founders Cup, the LOTTE Championship, the HUGEL-AIR PREMIA LA Open and the LPGA MEDIHEAL Championship, which had previously been postponed, will return to the schedule for the 2021 season.

The LPGA also announced increases to the purses of numerous 2020 tournaments, bringing the total available purse remaining for the year to more than $56 million, with players competing for an average of nearly $2.7 million per event.

“Many of our remaining events will feature higher purses in 2020 thanks in part to some of our sponsors, who could not reschedule their events, offering some of their prize funds to increase other purses,” said Whan. “In what has been a very challenging year for everyone, we are so thankful to our partners for their creativity, collaboration and dedication to helping our athletes get the most out of the playing opportunities they will have in this unprecedented season.”

Summary of LPGA Tour events affected in the latest schedule update:

• Marathon Classic presented by Dana will move to July 23-26
• Walmart NW Arkansas Championship presented by P&G will move to Aug. 28-30
• UL International Crown, originally slated for the week of Aug. 24, will not be played in 2020 so a full-field, official event can be held that week
• Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give will move to Oct. 1-4
• KPMG Women’s PGA Championship will move to Oct. 8-11
• Pelican Women’s Championship presented by DEX Imaging will move to Nov. 19-22
• Volunteers of America Classic will move to Dec. 3-6
• CME Group Tour Championship will move to Dec. 17-20 and will be the final event of the 2020 LPGA Tour season

If necessary, further schedule adjustments will be shared when appropriate.

Below is a revised look at the LPGA Tour’s 2020 schedule, as of April 29:

Due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, We Are Golf (The National Allied Golf Associations/NAGA) has postponed National Golf Day in Canada, originally scheduled for Tuesday, May 12, 2020.

The postponement of National Golf Day in Canada includes the We Are Golf government advocacy visit to Parliament Hill in Ottawa—an event aimed at raising awareness among government decision makers on the many positive impacts of the golf industry. An alternate date has not been selected at this time.

We appreciate that all government officials are directing their full attention and resources to support the health and safety of Canadians during this unprecedented health crisis. When the time is right, the Canadian golf industry will be ready to share the significant economic, health, employment, tourism and charitable impact of golf in communities from coast to coast.

We Are Golf is committed to ensuring the health and safety of our members, golfers, staff, volunteers and industry stakeholders as well as every Canadian in the communities where we live, work and play.

Currently in his third year with Golf Canada’s National Team Program, Chris Crisologo is considered one of Canada’s top golfing prospects. The Richmond, B.C. native spent the first two years on the Amateur Squad, and presently, he’s in his first season with the Young Pro Squad.

Given the COVID-19 pandemic, Crisogolo is trying to make the most of his time indoors.

“I’ve been able to read more books to pass the time. One specific book was given to me by my coach, Derek Ingram, called ‘Pound the Stone’ written by Joshua Medcalf. I’ve really enjoyed taking a few notes, and working on the mental side of both sport and life,” said the Simon Fraser University grad.

“On the physical side, I’ve done a lot of body weight exercises, as well as, some band work specific for golf mobility. I’ve also worked on tempo and rhythm, as well as path, with the putter,” Crisologo continued.

“I’m trying to make the most of this time to strengthen myself and make improvements for when the season starts up again,” he added with optimism.

As the 24-year-old reflects on his journey, he’s thankful to his dad, Lorenzo Crisologo, for introducing him to the sport.

“My dad and I were playing tennis, and there was a golf club close by so he decided to take me to the course,” recalled Crisologo about his humble beginnings.

“I was five or six at the time and when I hit the ball that first time I got hooked. I hit a three wood and saw the ball take flight and thought ‘this is unreal’ and knew this is what I want to do over and over again.”

Besides his interest in golf, young Chris was an all around athlete and had interest in a number of other sports.

“I played a whole lot of basketball growing up, and did volleyball, and track and field also.  I spent a lot of time on the tennis courts, and so, of course, I played a bit of tennis – but not competitively,” he said.

During his summers, Crisologo would spend all day on the golf course as his parents would drop him off in the morning.

“I played from 7 am to 7 pm until they picked my up. Looking back, I guess spending all those hours on the golf course got me to where I am today,” he noted.

Crisologo says it wasn’t until the 10th grade that he decided to take golf more seriously.

“I had played in golf tournaments since I was eight, but I never really thought that it would be something that I would be focusing on until grade 10,” he pointed out.

“That’s when I started to take it more seriously, and started to focus more on how to play the game the right way.”

Since his childhood years, Crisologo knew he wanted to be involved in sports but it took him time to figure out which sport he had the most passion for – and the best chance to find success.

“Unlike basketball or track and field, golf is one of those sports where you don’t have to be the biggest, the strongest or the fastest,” said Crisologo, who is listed at five foot nine but is known for his ball striking and distance on the golf course.

After completing high school, Crisologo attended Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, B.C.  Its interesting to note that SFU is the only Canadian university affiliated with and competing in the U.S.-based National Collegiate Athletic Association Division II.

In addition to winning numerous NCAA tournaments during his time at SFU, Crisologo caught the attention of many golf fans when he finished fourth in the Canadian Amateur in 2016.

From there, other notable accomplishments include qualifying for the U.S. Amateur in 2017, and winning the B.C. Amateur in 2018.

But perhaps his most impressive accomplishment as an amateur came at the RBC Canadian Open in 2018. Crisologo finished in a tie for 45th spot at Glen Abbey, and was the low Canadian amateur – taking home the Gary Cowan medal.

Crisologo recalls heading into the tournament with a lot of confidence.

“The weeks leading up to it I was playing some great golf.  I won the B.C. Amateur right before the RBC Canadian Open and that gave me some momentum heading in,” he said.

“It was just amazing to feed off the energy from the crowd at Glen Abbey. It’s definitely something that I will always remember,”added Crisologo about his experience at the 2018 RBC Canadian Open.

Currently, in his third year with the National Team Program, Crisologo says he’s well supported and believes his career as a professional golfer is on the right trajectory.

“We are supported through great coaching. We have a mental coach and physio coach. Having this support and the resources provided through the program allows us to really focus on success.  I’m really grateful to be part of the program because it’d be pretty difficult to figure it all out on our own,” said Crisologo.

Derek Ingram, head coach of the men’s National Team Program, is quick to point out Crisologo’s strengths which has contributed to his success on the golf course.

“Chris is very explosive off the tee.  He’s not a big guy but he is surprisingly long off the tee and also very accurate.  Chris is smart and patient and has really improved his iron game over the past few years,” said Ingram.

Having turned professional in August of 2019, Crisologo has his sights set on competing on the PGA Tour full time within the next five years.

Ingram believes Crisologo is on track to reach his goal. He candidly points out some of the areas that the first year Young Pro Squad member will need to address in order to take his game to the next level.

“Chris has to get more consistent.  He has to putt better on a day to day basis and eliminate mistakes off the tee – such as penalties,” said Ingram.

“And of course, he has to get used to the daily grind of being a professional and the travel that goes with it.  The ladder comes from experience.”

Ingram points out that having role models to look up to will be a big asset for Crisologo in his quest to play the sport at the highest level.

“It really is great for players like Chris – and others on our Young Pro Squad and Amateur Team – to have guys on the PGA Tour to look up to. Players like Mac (Hughes) and Corey (Conners), as well as others, like Nick Taylor and Adam Hadwin have been great to the players coming behind them,” said Ingram.

“They’ve taken the time to share experiences and information.  They’ve been excellent role models and become friends with the current players on the program.”

The talented 24-year-old golfer agrees with his coach and is appreciative of the guidance from those who have gone through the National Team Program – and have left a trail for success.

“Seeing all the guys who have been on the program before us and seeing their success on the PGA Tour is great,” Crisologo acknowledged.

“From a mental standpoint, it just gives me motivation and inspiration to work harder and focus on making improvements each day, so I can have that same success in the future.”

Canadian professional golfers came together to send a video message expressing their gratitude to frontline workers for their courage and sacrifice.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Florida—Two of the PGA TOUR’s International Tours announced executive restructuring April 24, with Canadian Scott Pritchard elevated to the head of the Mackenzie Tour – PGA TOUR Canada, while previous Mackenzie Tour head Todd Rhinehart, who has been leading both the Mackenzie Tour and PGA TOUR Latinoamérica, will put all his focus and efforts on PGA TOUR Latinoamérica.

“During the last year, we have gone through a transition phase on both Tours due to the retirements of two experienced and long-time leaders in Jeff Monday in Canada and Jack Warfield in Latin America,” said the PGA TOUR’s Rob Ohno, Senior Vice President, International Tours. “It has also been an interesting two months as we’ve dealt with the COVID-19 issue that has affected the entire world. Scott has been such an asset in Canada, and we’ll benefit from Todd giving his full attention to issues in Latin America. With Scott and Todd at the top of this new structure, we feel both of these Tours are well-positioned to grow and continue to offer up-and-coming players strong places to play where they can further their careers once we start playing golf again. We have two outstanding leaders who will see that this happens.”

Pritchard has spent his entire career working in the golf industry. After graduating from the University of Ottawa, he worked for the PGA of Canada in a variety of roles, between 2003 and 2011. In April 2011, Pritchard accepted the position of Director of Business Development and Communications for the Canadian Tour. When the PGA TOUR established the Mackenzie Tour – PGA TOUR Canada in 2012, the Tour’s first full season in 2013, Pritchard joined the new Tour as its Director, Tournament Business Affairs. In March 2017, Pritchard became the Tour’s Vice President, a position he held for a little more than three years.

“I am both excited and grateful for this opportunity to lead the Mackenzie Tour. I know what a great Tour it is, and so do our players, who have consistently used this Tour as their path to their ultimate goal, which is the PGA TOUR. To be a part of this and lead our dedicated team is truly an honor. There is much to do, I look forward to all the hard work ahead and appreciate what Todd did during his time in Canada and Jeff Monday before him,” Pritchard said.

In early 2019, Rhinehart took over the day-to-day operations of the Mackenzie Tour after Monday’s retirement and then temporarily added PGA TOUR Latinoamérica responsibilities upon Warfield’s retirement. Pritchard worked closely with Rhinehart as Rhinehart made the transition back to North America after living in Malaysia for the previous seven years as the PGA TOUR’s CIMB Classic Executive Director.

Said Ohno, “We can’t thank Todd enough for the heavy load he carried for a few months, leading and guiding both Tours, and I’m grateful that Scott comes into this new position extremely qualified, having handled so many different parts of the business and seeing the Tour operation from so many perspectives.

“We have been very impressed with Scott’s growth and achievements on the Mackenzie Tour over the years,” Ohno continued, “and nobody knows this Tour better than Scott. The passion he brings to work every day makes him a perfect fit to run the day-to-day operations of this Tour.”

Along with the seasons of all other International Federation of PGA Tour members, the Mackenzie Tour – PGA TOUR Canada season is currently suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Pritchard and his team continue working on amended 2020 strategies and plan to unveil a new tournament schedule in the coming weeks.
