An Evening to Support Bisons Golf

On Monday, April 20th, 2026, the University of Manitoba Bison Golf Program hosts an evening of unparalleled storytelling and professional insight at the St. Charles Country Club. This event brings together three distinct voices to explore the evolution of golf, from its most historic matches to the modern-day PGA Tour.

The event is a fundraiser for the Bisons Men's Golf Team, which qualified for Nationals in June after earning bronze at the Canada West Championships. It was the best finish for the school since the event was acknowledged at the conference level in 2019.
