Overview

  • Comrie will kick off his sixth season with the Jets and mark the 10th year of his NHL career.
  • Comrie will compete without accepting prize money alongside PGA Tour Americas professionals due to his amateur status.
  • Previous Winnipeg Jets invitees include Mark Scheifele, Kyle Connor, Morgan Barron and Dylan Samberg.
  • Founded in 1919, the Manitoba Open has crowned champions such as Moe Norman, George Knudson and C.T. Pan and serves as a stepping stone toward higher-level tours.
  • Proceeds from the tournament support the True North Youth Foundation’s Project 11 mental wellness and youth golf programs.
