The Bitcoin Open, a combined golf and poker tournament organized by Bitcoin Sports Network and Satstreet, is scheduled for June 8, 2026, at Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, Ontario.
The event will be held during the club’s 50th anniversary year. Glen Abbey Golf Club, designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 1976, is one of Canada’s most iconic golf venues. It has hosted the Canadian Open multiple times and is renowned for its championship-level layout and rich history in professional golf. Located approximately 30 minutes west of Toronto, the club serves as a public golf facility with a significant legacy in Canadian sports.
Event Format and Prizes
The Bitcoin Open consists of a scramble-format golf tournament on the main championship course during the day, followed by a Texas Hold’em poker tournament in the evening. The golf portion uses a team scramble format, typically with groups of four players. The field size is limited, with organizers noting strong demand and a reduced number of remaining team spots as of mid-May 2026.
Prizes for the event include:
- Two separate hole-in-one awards, each consisting of one Bitcoin
- Golf prizes for longest drive and closest to the pin
- Golf winners receive tickets to the 2027 Bitcoin Golf Championship in Nashville, Tennessee
