EMERGING PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS OF THE YEAR AWARD
The Golf Canada Foundation is proud to announce Savannah Grewal and Matthew Anderson as the recipients of the Emerging Professional Players of the Year Award, presented by Andrew Cook for the 2024 season. In 2020, Andrew Cook, a proud trustee of the Golf Canada Foundation, and past president of Golf Canada, established a $20,000 annual fund to recognize a top male and top female emerging Canadian professional golfer. Past recipients include current PGA TOUR member Taylor Pendrith, Korn Ferry Tour members Wil Bateman and Stuart Macdonald, and LPGA Tour members Maude-Aimee Leblanc and Maddie Szeryk.
“We are pleased to name Savannah and Matthew as the Emerging Professional Players of the Year,” said Martin Barnard, CEO of the Golf Canada Foundation. “We are incredibly grateful to Andrew Cook for his continued support of the Team Canada program and this annual award. It makes a huge difference to help our players on their journey to the highest levels of professional golf.”
Grewal, who has now won the award in back-to-back years, competed in 21 events on the LPGA Tour in 2024, making 10 cuts and earning a T4 finish at the Blue Bay LPGA in March. Grewal retained her LPGA Tour card for 2025 after finishing in the top 100 in the Race to CME Globe standings.
Anderson enjoyed a successful season on PGA TOUR Americas, earning six top-10 finishes including one win along with a runner-up and two third place finishes, while making 14 cuts in 16 events. Anderson was the top Canadian on PGA TOUR Americas and finished third on the season-long points race to earn Korn Ferry Tour membership for 2025.
