OAKVILLE, Ont. – The Canadian Tour today confirmed new dates for two season-ending events in Mexico that were postponed in April because of the outbreak of the H1N1 virus. A third event creating a three week season-ending “Mexican Swing” is still to be confirmed. The Tour has also changed the venue and dates for the 2009 Fall Qualifying School.
The Fall Qualifying School tees off the week of Sept.7th at Hidden Lake Golf Club in Burlington, Ont. This is the first time since 1973 that the Canadian Tour has not held a Qualifying School at Royal Ashburn Golf Club.
The Iberostar Playa Paraiso Golf Club, outside Cancun Mexico will host the third playing of the US $125,000 Iberostar Riviera Maya Open, Sept. 24-27.
The final event of the Mexican Swing and the 2009 Canadian Tour season will be at the US $125,000 Riviera Nayarit Classic presented by IDN at the Litibu Golf Club in Nayarit, Mexico, Oct. 1-4.
Litibu Golf Club (pictured) is a Greg Norman design routed over rolling terrain offering dramatic uphill and downhill holes along the Pacific Ocean.
"It was unfortunate that we had to postpone events in Mexico in April but extending the season into October to keep our players competitive leading up to PGA TOUR School is something that we have wanted to do for some time," stated Canadian Tour Commissioner Richard Janes.
Details for a possible third event Sept. 17-20 at the Nicklaus designed La Loma Golf Course in San Luis Potosi, Mexico are still to be confirmed.
