The 2026 Champion of Champions is set to take on a fresh stage this spring as the event makes its debut at Legends on the Niagara.
This May 13, some of Ontario’s strongest competitors, drawn from more than 100 clubs across the province, will arrive in Niagara Falls, each having earned their place by winning their respective home club championship in 2025.
Championship Layout
Legends on the Niagara provides a two-course championship setting:
Battlefield Course: 10:00am start time
- Divisions: Men’s Senior, Women’s Senior, Junior Girls
- A links‑style course defined by wider fairways, strategic water elements and a layout suited for championship conditions.
Usshers Creek: 10:15am start time
- Divisions: Men’s, Women’s, Junior Boys
- A tighter, tree‑filled course where the fairways are narrower, the greens are smaller, and the holes wind through natural forest areas.
Tournament Director, Rob Watson, also noted that Legends on the Niagara provides an ideal championship setting, with two premier courses and expansive practice facilities that allow competitors to properly prepare for the day.
Player Field
This year’s field is the largest in the event’s history, with 248 competitors set to tee it up.
Watson, pointed out the significance of the milestone field size, emphasizing both the strength of participation and the excitement surrounding the event’s first ever visit to Legends on the Niagara.
“The Ontario Champion of Champions Tournament plays a vital role in celebrating excellence across the province. Bringing together more than 245 competitors across six divisions, it showcases the depth of talent and the spirit of amateur golf within our member clubs and serves as an exciting kickoff to the Golf Ontario championship season” he said.
With 124 players on each course, the split‑course format ensures a balanced and competitive day across the property.
