Encyclopedia
The CN Canadian Women's Open is a women's professional golf
tournament managed by the Royal Canadian Golf Association
. It has been Canada
's national championship tournament since 1973
, and is an official event on the LPGA Tour
.
. From 1979 until 2000
, the event was one of the LPGA Tour's
four major championships
. In 2001
, it was replaced in the LPGA's roster of majors by the Women's British Open
, an existing event which was already a major on the Ladies European Tour
.
From 2006
through 2008
it was the final "winner" event of the LPGA season—i.e., an event in which the winner earns an automatic berth in the LPGA season-ending championship, the LPGA Tour Championship. As of 2009
, the LPGA no longer uses this system to determine players who qualify for the Tour Championship. From 2007
to 2009, the CWO was the third richest event on the LPGA Tour, behind only the U.S. Women's Open
and the Evian Masters

cigarettes); it was also called the du Maurier Classic (a reference to du Maurier cigarettes
) until Canadian tobacco restrictions came into force.
From 1988 to 2000 both Classique du Maurier Ltée and du Maurier Ltd Classic were official because of Canada's Official Languages Act. In 1988, the tournament added the Ltd/Ltée designation because of the Tobacco Products Control Act. Under the rule, the full name of the manufacturer was required on promotional material as opposed to a tobacco brand name, so Imperial Tobacco registered their brands as separate corporate entities to avoid the ban.
In 2001, the Bank of Montréal
took over sponsorship of the event for five years and renamed it the BMO Canadian Women's Open. In 2006, the Canadian National Railway
Company (CN) became the new title sponsor of the event, now called the CN Canadian Women's Open.
