The annual PGA Tour Champions tournament has become one of the most hotly anticipated sporting events in Calgary, and the Rogers Legends of Hockey competition gives Wolf and a few other pros a chance to show off their swings when the golf superstars are done for the day at Canyon Meadows Golf & Country Club.
Wolf, who was nominated for the Calder Trophy after an exceptional rookie season in 2024-25, will be joined by 2025 PWHL Rookie of the Year Sarah Fillier, two-time Olympic gold medallists Cassie Campbell-Pascall and Meaghan Mikkelson, Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner, Winnipeg Jets alternate Captain Mark Scheifele, Vegas Golden Knights shot-stopper Adin Hill and former Flames forward Matt Stajan.
“Rogers is Canada’s home of hockey,” Rogers chief brand and communications officer Terrie Tweddle said. “And we’re thrilled to bring some of hockey’s best to the Rogers Charity Classic to further support children and youth across Alberta.”
They’ll be teeing off in a closest-to-the-hole, money-ball challenge on the 18th green once the final group has finished on Saturday, Aug. 16. There will be “three periods plus overtime” with each player taking four shots per period.
After every period, players will be eliminated, leading to a head-to-head showdown in overtime.
The winner will get $100,000 to go to charity.
Each participant will also receive $10,000 to benefit a Canadian charity of their choice from the Rogers Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink program.
Since its inception, the Rogers Charity Classic has raised $137.7 million for charities that support Alberta kids and youth, including a record $25.4 million last year.
“We are grateful to bring the power of Rogers sports partnerships to the tournament as we are committed to ensuring golf fans in Calgary have the opportunity to watch many of the best names in the game, while also finding innovative ways to grow our event and offer memorable experiences for all ages,” said Sean Van Kesteren, executive director of the Rogers Charity Classic.
“Rogers Legends of Hockey has become a staple event in our lineup of activities on Saturday, bringing hockey fans and families together with the stars of the PGA TOUR Champions for an unforgettable day at the golf course.”
A variety of ticketing options for the 2025 Rogers Charity Classic are available including different packages for premier spectator and enhanced viewing and hosting experiences. Tickets are available for purchase at rogerscharityclassic.com.
