Senior Golf Championships

Local golfers in hunt to defend titles at Senior Championships

Jul 23, 2025 | 2:45 PM

For the third week in a row, a major provincial golf championship is underway in Saskatchewan.

This week, over 130 players descended on the Chinook Golf Course in Swift Current for the Senior Championships, the first time since 2005 that the tournament has been held there.

A pair of local golfers have entered the tournament as defending champions and are in the hunt following Tuesday’s first round.

Prince Albert’s Pauline McDougall won last year’s senior women’s championship in Nipawin, while Spiritwood’s Todd Turgeon won his second of back-to-back men’s mid-masters last year, also at the Evergreen Golf Course.

As of this morning, McDougall was in fourth place, while Sturgeon began the day tied for fifth.
