Born and raised in Winnipeg, George honed his early playing skills at the St. Charles Golf Club. George moved to Toronto in 1958 and soon thereafter joined the professional staff at the Oakdale Golf and Country Club. With the support and benevolence of a group of Oakdale members, George launched his PGA Tour career.
George’s passing due to lung cancer gave rise in 1989 to the inaugural George Knudson Oakdale Pro-Am. Celebrating its 28th year, this annual event has raised an astounding $5 million for cancer research. Past Fundraising
