The Alberta Classic was a golf tournament on the Nationwide Tour from 2003 to 2005. It was played in the Calgary, Alberta, Canada area. In 2003, it was played at The Links of Glen Eagles in Cochrane. In 2004 and 2005, it was played at the Redwood Meadows Golf and Country Club near Bragg Creek.
Tom Carter won the inaugural event in 2003, and because it was his third Nationwide Tour win of the season, he earned a promotion to the PGA Tour.{{cite web |url=http://www.pgatour.com/players/player.12394.tom-carter.html/season |title=Tom Carter Season – 2003 |publisher=PGA Tour |access-date=January 15, 2015}}{{cite news |url=http://articles.philly.com/2003-09-07/sports/25457918_1_tom-carter-alberta-calgary-classic-abington |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150208113533/http://articles.philly.com/2003-09-07/sports/25457918_1_tom-carter-alberta-calgary-classic-abington |url-status=dead |archive-date=February 8, 2015 |title=Abington native jumps onto tour Tom Carter will play in the PGA circuit after winning three lower-level tournaments this season |newspaper=The Philadelphia Inquirer |first=Joe |last=Logan |date=September 7, 2003}} Canadian David Hearn won the 2004 event.{{cite web |url=http://www.pgatour.com/players/player.26758.david-hearn.html/season |title=David Hearn Season – 2004 |publisher=PGA Tour |access-date=January 15, 2015}}{{cite journal |url=http://golfweek.com/news/2004/aug/28/david-hearn-wins-alberta-classic-one-stroke/ |title=David Hearn wins Alberta Classic by one stroke |journal=GolfWeek |date=August 28, 2004}} Peter Tomasulo won the third and final event in 2005.{{cite web |url=http://www.pgatour.com/players/player.28118.peter-tomasulo.html/season |title=Peter Tomasulo Season – 2005 |publisher=PGA Tour |access-date=January 15, 2015}}{{cite news |url=http://www.golfchannel.com/news/sports-network/tomasulo-wins-maiden-nationwide-tour-title/ |title=Tomasulo Wins Maiden Nationwide Tour Title |work=Golf Channel |agency=Sports Network |date=September 4, 2005}}
