Rogers Charity Classic adds four major champions to tournament field
You can add a few big names to the tee-sheet for the 2025 Rogers Charity Classic. Article content Article content Tournament officials continued to build momentum with Friday's announcement that four past major winners — Darren Clarke, David Duval, Vijay Singh and David Toms — have confirmed for the latest edition of the Calgary's wildly successful stop on the PGA Tour Champions circuit. Article content The senior shootout is set for Aug. 15-17 at Canyon Meadows Golf & Country Club. Article content Article content 'Each one of these exceptional ball-strikers, who have all shown they can deliver on the biggest stage, are great additions to what is shaping up to be another strong field,' said Sean Van Kesteren, executive director of the Rogers Charity Classic, in Friday's release. 'These four continue to be amongst the best players each year on the PGA Tour Champions. They have shown they are still very competitive, and I know they will be ready to duel it out in Calgary.' Article content Article content Longtime golf fans know these names, and know these resumes. Article content The 62-year-old Singh is a World Golf Hall of Fame inductee, while both he and Duval enjoyed stints as the top-ranked pin-seeker on the planet. Article content Between the four of 'em, they have combined for six major titles. Article content Singh was fitted for a Green Jacket as winner of the Masters in 2000. He also triumphed at the PGA Championship in both 1998 and 2004. Article content Duval topped the leaderboard at the 2001 British Open, while Toms prevailed at the PGA Championship that same season. Clarke's fan-fave status was only bolstered when he claimed the Claret Jug in 2011. Article content Article content While each of these gents has made their mark on the game of golf, Clarke stressed the crowds in Calgary — and the record-setting amounts that they help to raise for youth-based charities, a total that has climbed to more than $130 million since 2013 — have also made an impression on them. Article content Article content 'I absolutely can't wait to get back to the Rogers Charity Classic,' Clarke said in Friday's announcement. 'It is probably the best atmosphere we have on tour, incredible crowds, a fantastic golf course and great people.' Article content
