Following Breezy Bend Country Club, in the rotation will be Elmhurst Golf & Country Club (2026), Glendale Golf & Country Club (2027), Pine Ridge Golf Club (2028) and Southwood Golf & Country Club (2029) will serve as the hosts. Two of these clubs previously hosted the event when it was part of PGA TOUR Canada: Southwood Golf & Country Club (2018-24) and Pine Ridge Golf Club (2013-15).

"This unique partnership couldn't have happened without the commitment of our Proud Partners have shown to this event in addition to many other local partners," said Scott Pritchard, vice president of PGA TOUR Americas. “We are very excited about the future of the Manitoba Open and feel fortunate to have the support of these five preeminent clubs and their members.”

The three proud partners of the Manitoba Open – James Richardson & Sons, Johnston Group and Princess Auto – are eager to see the continued support for the True North Youth Foundation which will continue as the charitable partner for the tournament.

Established in 1857, Richardson & Sons is a private, family-owned and operated Canadian corporation involved primarily in the international grain trade and has been a partner of Manitoba Open for over 10 years. Johnston Group provides employee benefits solutions to over 30,000 Canadian businesses and has been a partner dating back many years. Princess Auto is a private, Canadian-owned company that employs over 3,400 team members. Founded in 1933 in Winnipeg, Princess Auto has been a proud partner of the Manitoba Open for over 10 years.

Past participants of the Manitoba Open include PGA TOUR members Taylor Pendrith, Mackenzie Hughes, Jake Knapp and Hayden Springer. Since the tournament became a PGA TOUR-sanctioned event in 2013, over $910,000 has been raised for local charities and has brought nearly $16 million in economic activity to the province of Manitoba. The True North Youth Foundation will remain the primary charitable partner of the event.

Helping to usher in the new era of the Manitoba Open, Brendan Baldwin will transition into a full-time role as tournament director. Baldwin previously served in the same role for the 2024 Manitoba Open.

Baldwin, who played collegiate golf at Chicago State University, has been recognized as one of the top golf professionals in Manitoba. Baldwin will lead a tournament committee made up of representatives from each club and will provide strategic leadership to execute the needs and visions of the tournament and host organizations.

The Manitoba Open is a 72-hole event where 156 PGA TOUR Americas members compete for a $225,000 purse and earn points toward the season-long Fortinet Cup points list. At the conclusion of the 16-event season, the top-10 players in the Fortinet Cup points list will earn Korn Ferry Tour cards for the 2025 season.
