The Canadian Open is a professional golf tournament in Canada. It is co-organized by Golf Canada (formerly known as the Royal Canadian Golf Association) and the PGA Tour.
It was first played 119 years ago in 1904 and has been held annually since then, except for during World War I, World War II, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
The RBC Canadian Open is the third oldest continuously running tournament on the tour, after The Open Championship and the U.S. Open. It is the only national championship that is a PGA Tour-managed event.
The top three golfers on the PGA Tour Canada Order of Merit before the tournament are given entry into the event. However, prize money won at the Canadian Open does not count toward the Canadian Tour money list.
Celebrated winners include Hall of Fame members Leo Diegel, Walter Hagen, Tommy Armour, Harry Cooper, Lawson Little, Sam Snead, Craig Wood, Byron Nelson, Doug Ford, Bobby Locke, Bob Charles, Arnold Palmer, Kel Nagle, Billy Casper, Gene Littler, Lee Trevino, Curtis Strange, Greg Norman, Nick Price, Vijay Singh, and Mark O’Meara.
Event Overview – RBC Canadian Open 2023 – PGA Golf Tour
The current PGA Tour season continues this week with the 2023 RBC Canadian Open and Rory McIlroy will be the highest-ranked player in this week’s field.
McIlroy is looking to become the first three-peat winner on the PGA Tour since Steve Stricker at the John Deere Classic from 2009-2011. He won the 2019 RBC Canadian Open by seven shots and then returned in 2022 to beat Tony Finau by two shots after the event had been canceled in 2020 and 2021 because of the pandemic.
This year the tournament will be held at Oakdale Golf & Country Club in Ontario for the first time as play starts on Thursday.
McIlroy was T7 in his last two starts at the 2023 PGA Championship and the 2023 Memorial Tournament last week and he’s the favorite in the 2023 RBC Canadian Open odds.
Tyrrell Hatton has put together five consecutive top-20 finishes on the PGA Tour and he’s second in this week’s event odds.
