Fresh off another successful outing at the Palm Beach Kennel Club, the Moneymaker Tour has announced that it's heading into Canada for the first time. 

From May 7-20, the Moneymaker Tour will offer players a packed schedule with 23 trophy events and over CAD $1.4M in guaranteed prize pools as part of a new partnership with Playground in Montreal. 

While there's a full schedule of events for players to choose from, the highlight of the Playground stop is the CAD $1,150 Main Event which boasts a CAD $500,000 guarantee. 

Moneymaker Tour growth continues in 2025

After reaching new heights in 2024 with 10 stops across the United States and a first international stop in Aruba, the Moneymaker Tour shows no signs of slowing down as it continues to expand its tournament offerings. With the first stop of 2025 in the books, the Moneymaker Tour will soon roll onwards to Dania Beach and Daytona Beach before heading north to Canada.
