RICHMOND, BC (PGA of BC) (February 10, 2025) - The PGA of BC is thrilled to announce Kevin Stinson as the winner of the 2024 Kal Tire Cup Order of Merit. Through his excellence at PGA of BC provincial championships, PGA of Canada national championships, and on the G&G Tour, Stinson embodied consistency, composure and athleticism throughout 2024.
His year was highlighted by a dominant 13-stroke victory at the PGA Head Professional Championship of Canada, a win that cemented his place in history as the first player ever to claim all three national PGA championships in a career - the PGA Championship of Canada, PGA Assistants’ Championship of Canada, and PGA Head Professional Championship of Canada.
Stinson (Cheam Mountain Golf Course) showcased consistency throughout the season, finishing T-2 at the PGA of BC Championship and adding three victories on the G&G Tour, including a stunning course-record 60 at Nicklaus North Golf Course. His standout year also saw him compete on one of golf’s biggest stages at the 2024 RBC Canadian Open, an opportunity he earned after topping the 2023 PGA of Canada Player Rankings.
His remarkable achievements landed him the PGA of BC’s Stan Leonard Male Player of the Year award and a nomination for the PGA of Canada’s Mike Weir Male Player of the Year.
"I have a great team around me," said Stinson. "My wife and family, Cheam Mountain Golf Course, Cleveland/Srixon Golf and all that have helped me over the years, Brett Saunders, Nick Mueller, Dr. Kevin Dieleman to name a few. They're all a part of any success I have."
With his PGA Head Professional Championship of Canada victory, Stinson clinched his spot on Team Canada for the 2025 Four Nations Cup, an international competition between Canada, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In 2023, Stinson was a member of the winning team in South Africa and he now looks forward defending the title on home soil.
"I hope to play well at the Four Nations Cup in Toronto so we can keep that trophy in Canada for a couple more years," said Stinson.
Finishing just behind Stinson in the race were two of British Columbia’s most accomplished professionals, both of whom made the competition fiercely contested throughout the season. Nine-time Stan Leonard Male Player of the Year, Bryn Parry (Seymour Creek Golf Centre) showcased his excellence with another standout campaign to finish as Order of Merit runner-up.
Parry’s season was highlighted by his victory at the 2024 PGA of BC Seniors' Championship. Steven Lecuyer (Seymour Creek Golf Centre), the 2023 Order of Merit champion, claimed his second consecutive PGA of BC Assistants’ Championship title and finished third in the 2024 race.
As Order of Merit champion, Stinson takes home $1,000. The top-ten competitors will be awarded from a purse of $5,000. The Association extends our gratitude and appreciation to Kal Tire for their generous support of the Order of Merit program and its competitors.
Please note that the 2025 PGA of BC Zone Teams, representing our province at the PGA Assistants' Championship of Canada and PGA Head Professional Championship of Canada, will be determined through competitors' placements in the 2024 Kal Tire Cup Order of Merit standings.
