The RBC Canadian Open Trophy

RBC Canadian Open Trophy (1994 to present)

RBC Canadian Open trophy

In 1994, tobacco companies were no longer permitted to advertise sponsorships, the RCGA sought a trophy that would withstand the changing nature of sponsorships.  The Canadian Open trophy was crafted in Colonial Williamsburg by a silversmith.  The sterling silver trophy has a map of Canada etched onto the top dome of the trophy, with various emblematic maple leaves, cupping the bowl.  Around the circumference of the dome are enameled flags representing each province and territory.  Because of the long and thin column supporting the globed top, a trophy base was not able to be attached directly to it.  The domed top is also a separate piece.  The trophy base is made of Canadian maple and is inscribed with the names of the Canadian Open champions from 1904 to today.
