By David Dasilva | March 28, 2025

The ATB Classic, one of Canada’s premier professional golf tournaments, is set to return to Northern Bear Golf Course in Alberta from September 11 to 14 as part of the PGA TOUR Americas schedule. With the tournament returning to Alberta’s stunning late-summer landscape, organizers are focused on creating memorable experiences for attendees, both on and off the course.

A Showcase of Rising Talent on the PGA TOUR Americas

Part of the PGA TOUR Americas, the ATB Classic gives top emerging talent from North and South America the chance to climb the professional golf ladder. The tour was officially formed in 2024 with the merger of PGA TOUR Canada and PGA TOUR Latinoamérica, creating a more unified and competitive path toward the Korn Ferry Tour and eventually the PGA TOUR.

Last year’s ATB Classic was a massive success and saw Frederik Kjettrup, one of the sport’s brightest young talents, shoot a -16 to secure the victory and a spot at the 2024 Korn Ferry Tour.

Cosmos Sports & Entertainment to Lead Ticket Sales

As rising stars compete for a shot at the PGA TOUR in 2025, fans can look forward to an elevated spectator experience—thanks to a new partnership with Cosmos Sports & Entertainment, who will lead premium and group ticket sales for the 2025 event.

Darcy Enick, Tournament Director, expressed their excitement in partnering with Cosmos Sports & Entertainment:

“We are excited to partner with Cosmos to help extend the reach of the ATB Classic. With Cosmos’ experience and expertise in hospitality sales, we believe more golf fans will have the opportunity to enjoy memorable experiences while watching world class golf in their own backyard.”

Premium Packages and Group Options Available

Through premium packages and group ticketing options, Cosmos aims to provide fans with access to unique, elevated ways to take in the tournament—perfect for corporate outings, team events, or just a day out with fellow golf enthusiasts.  Premium packages include the ATB Pro-Am, the Sleeman Birdie Bar, and the Skyway Suites.  The Skyway Suites allows guests to enjoy the tournament from a private suite inside the Skyway Lounge overlooking the 18th green.

Cary Kaplan, President of Cosmos Sports & Entertainment, expressed his excitement on working with the ATB Classic:

“It is a great pleasure for Cosmos to be involved with the ATB Classic. As Alberta’s most prestigious golf tournament and as part of the PGA Americas Tour, the Classic provides fans an opportunity to see some of the best golfers in the world in a beautiful setting in their own backyard. We are excited to help grow the event by encouraging more fans to share the excitement.”
