The du Maurier Trophy

Canadian Open Trophy (1971 – 1993)

In 1971 a new sponsor, The Imperial Tobacco Company of Canada, introduced the Peter Jackson Trophy which later became the du Maurier Trophy. This trophy was unique in the golf world as a special base was created with a soapstone carving being given to the winner to keep permanently. A different piece of Inuit art was added yearly and the soapstone carving would feature various subjects including wildlife or natives, and sometimes featured horn or bone. The first recipient was Lee Trevino.
