The 71st edition of the Idylwylde Invitational got underway on Thursday, July 19.
Once again, many of the top amateurs in North America will be vying for the prestigious title of winner of Canada's longest-running match play golf tournament.
Defending champion and youngest ever champion Tristan Renaud was on hand for the kick-off to the tournament, along with three-time winner Kyle Rank.
This tournament will teed off on Thursday with a practice round, and the final round is slated for Sunday, July 22.
It may be a tougher slog for the golfers who took part in last year's tournament, as they were treated to ideal conditions at the 2017 Invitational. The forecast for both Friday and Saturday is calling for chances of rain showers and a risk of a thunderstorm.
Last year's tournament hosted a total of 192 golfers.
