Red Deer’s Eileen Park will once again represent Canada on the international stage.

The 16-year-old was named as one of 20 girls and boys on the Team Canada NextGen team by Golf Canada.

She and her teammates were selected based on their results from the previous season and their performance at Golf Canada’s annual selection camps.

At the selection camp, Park was unable to complete the tournament because of an injury. She finished the first round at three over par and was tied for fifth, but was unable to take part in the final round.

“Golf Canada is proud to announce the amateur and junior athletes selected to the 2026 Team Canada and Team Canada – NextGen teams. We look forward to supporting their continued growth and performances competing on golf’s biggest stages,” said Emily Phoenix, Director, High Performance, Golf Canada. “We are also deeply grateful to the generous donors of the Golf Canada Foundation and our corporate partners whose ongoing commitment to player development is vital in helping our athletes train, compete, and pursue their dreams of success on the PGA and LPGA Tours.”
