Golf star Rory McIlroy will lead the players competing in the RBC Canadian Open in 2025.
Riff on the RBC Canadian Open
Chase the thrill of the greens as we dive into the packed schedule of the PGA Tour, especially when a Major Championship looms near! As the clock ticks closer to June, golfers have one last chance to get their groove back, build confidence, and shine, all before the US Open.
Before we delve into the legendary Oakmont Country Club and the third championship of the season, let's take a look at the exciting field for the RBC Canadian Open - a tournament steeped in history and tradition. Established in 1904, it's the third oldest continuously running competition on the PGA Tour, trailing only The Open and the US Open.
This year, the action heads to Canada and TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley (North Course), with Scotland's defending champion, Robert MacIntyre, aiming to repeat his victory.
The limelight will undoubtedly be on World No. 2, Rory McIlroy, who will be making his first appearance since a disappointing performance at the PGA Championship. McIlroy, a two-time Canadian Open winner, will be teeing off as a strong favorite[1]. Despite skipping the Memorial Tournament, his decision surprised the tournament's host, Jack Nicklaus[4]. Nevertheless, McIlroy is optimistic that playing in the Canadian Open, which he won in 2019 and 2022, will serve as the perfect preparation for the US Open[4].
Tee Off into the Known and Unknown
Clearly, the Canadian Open attracts some of the biggest names in golf. Alongside MarIlroy, other notable players include Ludvig Aberg, a strong contender priced at +1400[2][3], and Mackenzie Hughes, whose exceptional short game and Canadian roots make him an engaging prospect at 45-1[3].
Brace yourself for an international affair! With contestants like Sungjae Im, Tom Kim, and Alex Noren joining the fray[4], the competition promises to be intense.
Newcomers like Kevin Yu and Matt McCarty, who recently claimed their maiden PGA TOUR wins, add fresh energy to the mix[1]. And let's not forget the top contenders, such as Corey Conners (+2000) and Shane Lowry (+2200)[2].
