The accolades continue for Strathroy golfer Taylor Kehoe. Just a few days after inking a deal with the University of Alabama, Taylor was announced Wednesday as one of 46 golfers to be named to Golf Canada’s Team Canada Player Development Program for 2022.
The announcement marks a significant roster increase, adding 17 additional male and female athletes to the previous year’s Team Canada amateur and junior squads. The larger program size will increase the number of top developing players who receive nationally supervised coaching and support and will grow the pool of future high-potential Canadian professional golfers.
Team Canada’s 2022 National Amateur Squad consists of 21 athletes, including eight women and 13 men. The Junior Squad totals 25 athletes including 12 female and 13 male U19 athletes ages 14-18.
