Nick Taylor’s putter-toss logo to become permanent icon for Canadian Open
Nick Taylor’s legacy will forever be intertwined with the Canadian Open, as Golf Canada has officially made his silhouette a permanent fixture in the tournament’s logo. The announcement was made on Friday morning, with Taylor’s silhouette now gracing the championship trophy as well.
The surprise news was delivered to Taylor at his home in Abbotsford, B.C., by Golf Canada staff, who were thrilled to honor the golfer in such a special way. The revised logo was initially introduced as a one-year tribute to Taylor’s incredible 72-foot putt that secured his victory in the 2023 Canadian Open, where he defeated England’s Tommy Fleetwood in a playoff.
The logo features Taylor’s silhouette positioned within the letter “I” in the word Canadian, with his putter suspended in the air as he jubilantly tossed it in celebration. This iconic image has resonated with fans and players alike, garnering widespread acclaim and recognition. In fact, the putter-toss logo was recently recognized as the PGA Tour’s best marketing initiative for 2024 during the circuit’s annual meetings in Orlando.
The integration of Taylor’s silhouette into the Canadian Open’s logo symbolizes his lasting impact on the tournament and the sport of golf in Canada. It serves as a fitting tribute to his skill, sportsmanship, and memorable victory, ensuring that his name will always be synonymous with this prestigious event. As fans and players continue to celebrate Taylor’s remarkable achievement, the iconic logo will stand as a testament to his enduring legacy in Canadian golf history.
