OUR IMPACT

Net proceeds from the Explore NB Open support Soldier On, a Canadian Armed Forces program that helps ill and injured members and veterans recover through sport, recreation, and creative activities.

Through tournament proceeds, sponsorship contributions, volunteers, and Pro-Am participation, we help generate meaningful financial support for those who have served.

Your support makes a direct difference.

We are dedicated to growing the game of golf in New Brunswick by nurturing young talent and fostering a passion for the sport. Through grassroots programs and mentorship opportunities for junior golfers, the tournament inspires local youth to learn from experienced professionals, develop their skills, and pursue golf at a thriving golf community across the province.

Our tournament creates invaluable playing opportunities for local golfers, offering them a chance to compete alongside some of the best talent from around the world and progress as professional golfers. Think you could make the cut?

More than 500 volunteers played a crucial role in the success of the 2024 and 2025 Explore NB Open. From event logistics to spectator engagement, these dedicated individuals ensured that every aspect of the tournament ran smoothly, helping create an unforgettable experience for all involved.

Wondering about the story behind the Explore NB Open trophy? We joined its creator, artist Shane Perley-Dutcher, who welcomed cameras into his studio in Neqotkuk First Nation, where Shane shared his process, vision and what it means to have a tournament trophy grounded in culture, craftsmanship, and place.

The trophy stands as a meaningful celebration of New Brunswick’s Wolastoqey and Wabanaki heritage. Through commissioning this trophy, the Explore NB Open reinforces its commitment to honouring Indigenous culture and authentically showcasing the visual expressions of the Wolastoqey and the land on which we live and play.

Over the last two years, our event generated an estimated $3 million in economic activity for New Brunswick. This includes increased tourism, business exposure, and support for local services. The event benefits the local economy by attracting visitors, boosting hospitality, retail, and service industries, and showcasing the province to a global audience.

In close collaboration with our partners, we actively support local sports and tourism initiatives, driving growth in these sectors and helping to promote New Brunswick as a top destination for both leisure and competitive sports. The tournament brings attention to the province’s sporting potential and natural beauty, benefiting the community long after the event is over.

The Explore NB Open isn’t just a tournament – it’s a powerful networking opportunity that brings together top golfers, industry leaders, and local entrepreneurs. Gain valuable exposure and make meaningful connections through sponsorships, promotions, and on-site events. This is your chance to be part of something big and unforgettable in New Brunswick.
