THE ONE golf tour Philosophy
Single-day competition places a premium on what matters most in elite golf—performance, focus, and execution. With only one round to post a score, players must stay present, patient, and fully committed to every shot, with no opportunity to recover over multiple days. This format sharpens the ability to manage pressure, respond to mistakes, and maintain concentration from the first tee to the final putt—skills that directly translate to multi-round events, where each day is ultimately just another opportunity to perform. While four-round tournaments are often viewed as the standard for development, the reality is that critical moments in a professional golfer’s career—such as pre-qualifiers and Monday qualifiers—are decided in a single round. The one-day model prepares players for exactly these moments, while also reducing the financial and travel burden that limits competitive opportunities. By enabling players to compete more frequently, with 100% of entry fees returned to the purse, the structure creates a more efficient, accessible, and performance-driven pathway for development.

THE ONE Golf Tour connaît un lancement réussi au Québec au Falcon Golf Club
THE ONE Golf Tour a fait ses débuts au Québec le 29 septembre avec un événement d’introduction au Falcon Golf Club, à Hudson, réunissant des professionnels et des amateurs de compétition pour le tout premier tournoi du circuit dans la province.
L’événement a permis aux joueurs québécois de découvrir la formule unique de tournoi d’une journée de THE ONE Golf Tour, fondée sur un concept simple : plus d’occasions de compétition, sans le temps et les dépenses associés aux tournois traditionnels de plusieurs jours.
L’enthousiasme des joueurs a été manifeste tout au long de la journée, les participants ayant accueilli favorablement tant la formule que la possibilité de voir THE ONE Golf Tour prendre de l’expansion au Québec.
Sur le parcours, Marc Hurtubise a remporté le tout premier titre du Falcon avec une ronde de 70, mettant la main sur le premier prix de 2 000 $, dans le cadre de la bourse garantie de 8 000 $ du Tour.
Les commentaires des joueurs à la suite de l’événement ont été très positifs, et l’enthousiasme était au rendez-vous quant à la possibilité que THE ONE Golf Tour présente une série de tournois au Québec pour la saison 2027.
THE ONE Golf Tour tient à remercier le Falcon Golf Club d’avoir accueilli l’événement, ainsi que tous les professionnels et amateurs qui y ont participé et qui ont contribué au succès des débuts du Tour au Québec.
THE ONE Golf Tour Makes Successful Quebec Debut at Falcon Golf Club
THE ONE Golf Tour made its Quebec debut on September 29 with an introductory event at Falcon Golf Club in Hudson, bringing together professionals and competitive amateurs for the Tour’s first event in the province.
The event provided Quebec players with an opportunity to experience THE ONE Golf Tour’s unique one-day tournament format, built around a simple concept: more opportunities to compete, without the time and expense associated with traditional multi-day events.
Player enthusiasm throughout the day was strong, with competitors embracing both the format and the opportunity to see THE ONE Golf Tour expand into Quebec.
On the course, Marc Hurtubise captured the inaugural Falcon title with a round of 70, earning the $2,000 first-place prize from the Tour’s $8,000 guaranteed purse.
Player feedback for the event was very positive and enthusiasm surrounding THE ONE Golf Tour hosting a Quebec series of events for the 2027 season was high.
THE ONE Golf Tour would like to thank Falcon Golf Club for hosting the event, as well as every professional and amateur who participated and helped make the Tour’s Quebec debut a success.
