<P> In the early 2000s, the tournament was still being held in early September . Seeking to change back to a more desirable summer date in the schedule, the RCGA lobbied for a better date . When the PGA Tour's schedule was revamped to accommodate the FedEx Cup in 2007, the Canadian Open was rescheduled for late July, sandwiched between three events with even higher profiles (The Open Championship the week prior, the WGC - Bridgestone Invitational the week after, and the PGA Championship the week after that). The tournament counts towards the FedEx Cup standings, and earns the winner a Masters invitation . In 2019 and subsequent years, the Canadian Open will be held in early June to avoid conflict with the Open Championship . </P> <P> Glen Abbey Golf Course has hosted the most Canadian Opens, with 30 to date . Glen Abbey was designed in 1976 by Jack Nicklaus for the Royal Canadian Golf Association, to serve as the permanent home for the championship . </P> <P> In the mid-1990s, the RCGA decided to move the championship around the country, and continues to alternate between Glen Abbey and other clubs . The owner since 2005, Clublink Corp filed an application in October 2015 to redevelop the property into a residential community, with offices and retail stores . There was no provision for a golf course in the plan . The Town of Oakville Council responded in August 2017 by declaring the golf course a heritage site under the Ontario Heritage Act . This would make it more difficult for ClubLink to develop the area as it had planned . Golf Canada was also concerned since it could not predict whether it could get the necessary permit to hold the Canadian Open at Glen Abbey in 2018 as it had planned . The dispute between the Town of Oakville and ClubLink remains before the provincial appeal tribunal . Due to this situation, the Open will be held at Hamilton Golf and Country Club in 2019 . </P> <P> Royal Montreal Golf Club, home of the first Open in 1904, ranks second with nine times hosted . Mississaugua Golf & Country Club has hosted six Opens, and will host again in 2020 . </P>
