Canadian LPGA Tour contingent grows to 5 as Szeryk, Sharp, Grewal qualify for 2024 season

After a down year, there will be more than double the number of Canadian golfers on the LPGA Tour in 2024.

Maddie Szeryk and Alena Sharp will return to the top women's professional golf circuit next year and Savannah Grewal will make her debut after all three qualified at the LPGA Tour's Q School last week. They'll join world No. 12 Brooke Henderson and Maude-Aimée Leblanc on tour.
