CALGARY — World Golf Hall of Famers Ernie Els and Colin Montgomerie have been added to the field of the Rogers Charity Classic, the only Canadian stop on the Champions Tour.
Els, a former world No. 1 and a four-time major winner, will tee off at Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club for the second straight year.
He finished in a tie for 10th in 2024.
"I look forward to playing again in Calgary at the Rogers Charity Classic," Els said in a release. "It is a tournament known for its deep roots in the community, and tremendous power to influence children's charities to make our communities a better place, which closely aligns with my own goals."
Scotland's Montgomerie was runner-up in his first appearance at the event in 2015 and finished sixth in 2016.
"I enjoy all of the PGA Tour Champions events, but Calgary is a special one," Montgomerie said in a release.
"The course is absolutely perfect, and the tournament has had a tremendous impact on the community. It has been voted the No. 1 Tour event three times for a reason, and I have always said as long as I’m on this Tour, I'll be participating in the Rogers Charity Classic."
The captain of the Ryder Cup-winning European squad in 2010 will be looking for his eighth Champions Tour title and first since 2019.
The Rogers Charity Classic runs Aug. 15-17.
