Osprey Valley Open announces 2025 Sponsor’s Exemptions

Jared du Toit, Thomas Giroux, Piercen Hunt and Johnny Travale add depth to list of talented Canadians competing at TPC Toronto next week

Caledon, ON – TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley is proud to announce four standout Canadian golfers as Sponsor’s Exemptions into the 2025 Osprey Valley Open, an official PGA TOUR Americas event taking place July 28 – August 3 on the Heathlands course.

These four players have each distinguished themselves through outstanding amateur and professional careers:

·       Jared du Toit rose to national prominence with a top-10 finish as an amateur at the 2016 RBC Canadian Open. A member of Team Canada and a former Arizona State University standout, du Toit has since competed on PGA TOUR Americas, the Korn Ferry Tour and the Asian Tour since 2017.

·       Piercen Hunt, a Calgary native and former University of Illinois star, is a past winner of the Wisconsin State Amateur and a current member of Team Canada.

·       Johnny Travale, originally from Hamilton, ON, made headlines during his time at the University of Central Florida, where he set multiple program records and earned All-Conference honours. Travale finished a career-best T4 at the 2023 Manitoba Open.

“We’re excited to welcome Jared, Thomas, Piercen and Johnny to an outstanding field at the 2025 Osprey Valley Open,” said Brad Parkins, Osprey Valley Open Tournament Director. “These players reflect the incredible depth of talent in Canadian golf, and offering them a chance to compete at TPC Toronto next week is a meaningful part of our event. We look forward to seeing them perform and showcase their skills on the Heathlands course next week.”
