Bitcoin Open 2026: Golf and Poker at Canada’s Historic Glen Abbey
Overview of the Bitcoin Open at Glen Abbey
On June 8, 2026, the Bitcoin Open brings together golf and poker enthusiasts at the legendary Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, Ontario. Organized in partnership between Bitcoin Sports Network and Satstreet, this event coincides with the club’s 50th anniversary, adding a historic backdrop to a day of competition and community.
Glen Abbey Golf Club: A Canadian Icon
Designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 1976, Glen Abbey is one of Canada’s most celebrated golf venues. It has hosted the Canadian Open multiple times and is renowned for its championship layout. Located about 30 minutes west of Toronto, the public course boasts a rich legacy in Canadian sports. The 2026 Bitcoin Open marks the first time this venue hosts a Bitcoin-themed event.
Event Format: Golf and Poker
Daytime Golf Tournament
The golf portion follows a scramble format, with teams of four players competing on the championship course. The field is intentionally limited; as of mid-May 2026, organizers report high demand and only a few team spots remain. Prizes include:
- Two separate hole‑in‑one awards, each worth 1 Bitcoin
- Longest drive and closest to the pin challenges
- Winners also receive tickets to the 2027 Bitcoin Golf Championship in Nashville, Tennessee, held just before the 2027 Bitcoin Conference
Evening Poker Tournament
After the golf, participants shift to a Texas Hold’em poker tournament. The winner takes home $5,000 CAD in stablecoins.
