Canadian Women's Open

The Canadian Women's Open is a professional golf tournament for women once known as La Canadienne, later the Peter Jackson Classic, du Maurier Classic, and the du Maurier Ltd Classic, (also Classique du Maurier Ltee) until tobacco restrictions came into force in Canada. It has been Canada's national championship tournament since 1973.

It was actually a three-round tournament from its 1973 inception until 1978.

From 1979 until 2000, the event was one of the LPGA Tour's major championships from 1979 to 2000.

It was replaced in the LPGA's roster of majors by the Women's British Open, an existing event which was already a major on the Ladies European Tour.

In 2001, the Bank of Montréal took over sponsorship of the event for five years and renamed it the Canadian Women's Open.

Classique du Maurier, du Maurier Ltd Classic

(NOTE: Both names are official because of Canada's Official Languages Act. In 1988, the tournament added the Ltd/Ltée designation because of the Tobacco Products Control Act. Under the rule, the full name of the manufacturer was required on promotional material as opposed to a tobacco brand name, so Imperial Tobacco registered their brands as separate corporate entities to evade the ban.)
