SPECTATOR GUIDE

SEPTEMBER 2-8, 2024

OUR TITLE SPONSOR

Founded more than 20 years ago in Sunnyvale, California, Fortinet continues to be a driving force in the evolution of cybersecurity and the convergence of networking and security. Securing people, devices, and data everywhere is our mission. To that end, our portfolio of over 50 enterprise-grade products is the largest integrated offering available, delivering proven cybersecurity everywhere you need it. More than 755,000 customers trust Fortinet solutions, which are among the most deployed, most patented, and most validated in the industry.

From the season-opener in Tulum, Mexico to the September finale right here at TPC Toronto, PGA TOUR Americas players are competing for the Fortinet Cup and a promotion to the Korn Ferry Tour next season.

Canadian Matthew Anderson has already secured Korn Ferry Tour conditional membership for 2025, but there’s lots to play for still: Each of the top 10 players in the final Fortinet Cup standings will earn fully exempt status on the Korn Ferry Tour - just one step away from the PGA TOUR - next year.

A WELCOME FROM TPC TORONTO

CHRIS HUMENIUK
PRESIDENT, TPC TORONTO AT OSPREY VALLEY

Welcome to TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley! On behalf of our entire team, I’m thrilled to welcome you to this very special week as we host our friends from PGA TOUR Americas. Since 2018, we’ve hosted PGA TOUR-sanctioned events and have been lucky to see future stars like Taylor Pendrith compete to earn their place at the game’s highest level. This year’s event marks the first time we’ve hosted the season-ending Fortinet Cup Championship, and we’re beyond excited to see these up-and-coming stars compete on the newly-renovated North course, which will host the RBC Canadian Open in just a few short months,

This event marks an important component of our ongoing relationship with First Tee - Canada, which is the Official Charity of the Fortinet Cup Championship. Proceeds from this week will go towards supporting junior golf programming and making the game more accessible across Canada. As the future home of Golf Canada (including First Tee - Canada HQ and a community access putting green), as well as home to First Tee programming throughout the season, we’re huge believers in the game of golf as a force for good and look forward to seeing the positive impact of this event and First Tee - Canada’s efforts for years to come.

As your hosts, we’re honoured to have you here. Please enjoy the scenic beauty of our course (or courses, if you’re playing the Hoot or Heathlands during your visit!), the awesome competition and friendly hospitality of our team this week.

A WELCOME FROM THE PGA TOUR

ALEX BALDWIN
PRESIDENT, PGA TOUR PATHWAYS

With the inaugural season of PGA TOUR Americas underway, we are thrilled to welcome our fans to watch the future stars of the PGA TOUR.

Our players have come from a variety of backgrounds to get where they are now, but they all share the same goal: to earn their Korn Ferry Tour card, and eventually their PGA TOUR card. Cards will be awarded to the top 10 players in the Fortinet Cup season-long points list, meaning every tournament, round and shot could be the difference in earning Korn Ferry Tour membership.

On top of showcasing the talents of our players, our priority is to provide PGA TOUR Americas members and fans with a world class experience, inside and outside the ropes. Inside the ropes, the competition and course layouts will replicate what players will see at the next level on the Korn Ferry Tour. Outside the ropes, tournaments are committed to making an impact in the communities where they play.

Since 2013, PGA TOUR Americas tournaments have raised over $6 million for various charities. Our tournaments are committed to making an impact in their local communities, and delivering a positive, memorable experience for the fans who come out to support our players.

On behalf of all our tournaments and staff, I want to wish you all the best in your PGA TOUR Americas experience. If there is anything you need from myself or our staff, we are here to support you in any way we can to make your time on-site memorable.

When the 16-event PGA TOUR Americas season this week, the top 10 players in the Fortinet Cup standings will earn exempt membership on the Korn Ferry Tour next season.

After a brief offseason, the Korn Ferry Tour begins in January and it’s onto the next stage of their careers. From the Korn Ferry Tour, the top 30 players at the end of the season will earn golf’s ultimate promotion: a PGA TOUR card.

Those #TOURBound graduates are now seasoned, ready to compete against the best on golf’s biggest stages. For many players, the path to the PGA TOUR starts with PGA TOUR Americas. This week’s event is an important step on that path.

TPC TORONTO AT OSPREY VALLEY

North course

A parkland-style course built around wide corridors and challenging green sites with deep bunkers, the North was originally designed to offer signature playability and a strategic challenge for players of all skill levels. In 2023, the North saw a full-scale renovation led by Ian Andrew to transform the course into a venue for high-level competition and offer a championship experience for all golfers.

In 2025, the North course will host the RBC Canadian Open.

HOLE-BY-HOLE

A CHARITABLE IMPACT

The Fortinet Cup Championship has selected First Tee – Canada as its Official Charitable Partner for 2024.

Part of a tradition that has seen PGA TOUR Americas events at TPC Toronto donate more than $300,000 to local charities since 2018, this year’s event will see proceeds go towards the Golf Canada Foundation, with First Tee – Canada programming as the charitable beneficiary.
