About The Canadian Tour
Some of the most recognized players in the world have joined the Canadian Tour ranks by coming through a Tour qualifying school. The Canadian Tour holds three qualifiers a year (winter, spring and fall), with the likes of Mike Weir, Chris DiMarco, Craig Parry, Steve Stricker, Jason Bohn and Arron Oberholser earning Tour membership over the years.
The top 25 Canadian Tour graduates have amassed more than $400 million and won over 98 PGA Tour titles, proving the Canadian Tour is an ideal North American playing experience to prepare players for the next level.
The Canadian Tour is a member of the International Federation of PGA Tours and represents more than 200 members from Canada, the United States, Australia, South Africa, Mexico, New Zealand, Sweden, England, Brazil and many other countries.

Spencer Levin, the Canadian Tour's 2007 Rookie of the Year, took advantage of the Q-School exemption and advanced through second stage to earn a spot on the 2008 Nationwide Tour. Levin then finished 22nd on the money list to book a ticket to the PGA TOUR for 2009.
“Not only do you play against some great players; you learn how to travel across the continent on your own,” Levin told Golf Today about his Canadian Tour season.
"You learn how to schedule yourself and how to look after things when you are on the road. By the time you get to the big tour you are already used to certain things. It's a great Tour and I know it has helped me become a better player."
