Canadians Gear Up for a Week of Golf Across Multiple Tours

Savannah Grewal is adjusting to life on the LPGA Tour, including the experience of playing in major championships. The golfer from Mississauga is in her second season on the world's top women's golf circuit and is one of three Canadians competing in this week's Chevron Championship, the first major of the year. Grewal mentioned that after participating in three majors in 2024, she has learned to approach them as just another round of golf.

Grewal, reflecting on her journey, expressed that every tournament on the LPGA still holds a special, almost dreamlike quality for her. She shared that playing professional golf has been her aspiration since childhood, and she is currently living that dream. She believes the excitement and enjoyment will always be present, and her approach to tournaments, whether major or not, is consistent. She aims to enter each competition with the same mindset, avoiding added pressure by treating them as ordinary events.

In her rookie season, Grewal played in three majors, missing the cut in the Chevron Championship, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, and the Amundi Evian Championship. Despite making the cut in eight of her final nine tournaments last year and finishing 97th on the LPGA Tour’s points list, she had to qualify for the 2025 Chevron Championship based on her performance this year.

Grewal feels honored to be competing in the event, as her participation wasn't guaranteed. She recognizes the significance of playing in majors, as they are tournaments everyone aims to win and are often what players are remembered for.

This season, Grewal has played in four events, making the cut in three. She is focused on improving her game, striving for consistent performance. She is aiming to put together four solid rounds in a tournament, which she believes would signify a greater level of success.

Joining Grewal in the tournament are Brooke Henderson and Alena Sharp.
