Player Council Roles and Responsibilities

Conducted by the Royal Canadian Golf Association and sponsored by CN, the CN Canadian Women's Tour is the only women's developmental tour in Canada. Open to professionals, top amateurs and elite junior golfers, the CN Canadian Women's Tour offers top-notch tournament play, competitive purses and the opportunity to earn exemptions into the CN Canadian Women's Open, Canada's only LPGA Tour event.

The RCGA has high standards for the operation of its events, and the conduct of its players. We want to ensure that the Tour continues to grow and develop in a way that benefits all players, and reflects positively on our organization and our sponsors.

One of the RCGA’s key priorities is to ensure that CN Canadian Women’s Tour competitors are consulted on all areas of Tour operations, and that there is consistent, regular and open communication between the RCGA and the Tour players. To this end, a four member Player Council is established and is comprised of Tour players who were nominated by their peers. These Council members will communicate with the RCGA on a regular basis and will provide valuable input from the player perspective.

Specific roles include:

Ambassador for the CN Canadian Women’s Tour
Liaison between the RCGA and Tour players
Spokesperson for the Tour when requested by the RCGA

Responsibilities / expectations include:

Attending meetings as requested, whether in person or by conference call (typically 1-2 per year)

Forwarding player concerns and questions to the RCGA
Providing input to the RCGA regarding Tour operations, format, schedule etc.
Helping to guide the direction of the Tour as it continues to develop and grow
