Red Deer will be represented at next week’s World Junior Girls Golf Championship in Mississauga, Ontario.

Eileen Park, 15, will compete with the very best at Credit Valley Golf & Country Club from Sept. 30 to Oct. 5. The field will feature 23 countries and 72 competitors, with 24 teams vying for the title.

The individual champion will earn an exemption into the 2025 CPKC Women’s Open, also to be held in Mississauga next August.

“We are very excited to get the ninth playing of this prestigious championship underway next week at Credit Valley Golf and Country Club as we welcome the world’s best junior golfers to Canada,” said Adam Cinel, Tournament Director, Golf Canada.

“This championship has grown each year and has become a showcase event on our schedule, featuring talented young athletes competing for team and individual glory. We want to thank the staff and membership of Credit Valley Golf and Country Club and the City of Mississauga for being incredible partners and welcoming hosts.”
