Canadian Men's Mid-Amateur Championship, presented by BDO

The Canadian Mid-Amateur Championship is one of the most sought-after golf titles in Canada. Conducted by Golf Canada, the Mid-Amateur is for golfers aged 25 and over. Originally known as the RCGA Pre-Seniors Championship, the championship was renamed the Mid-Amateur in 1989. The Inter-Provincial Team Championship for the R. Bruce Forbes Trophy was first conducted in 1992 and is played concurrently over the first two rounds of stroke play.

The Mid-Amateur attracts the top golfers throughout the country each year, including Graham Cooke of Hudson, Que. and Stu Hamilton of Brampton, Ont. Together, the pair captured 11 of the first 20 championships played since the event was established in 1987. More recently, Elmira, Ont. native Garrett Rank has found success at the Mid-Amateur, earning three consecutive wins from 2014-2016.

In 2006, the format was changed from match to stroke play, with a Mid-Master category introduced for golfers over the age of 40.
