The RBC Canadian Open features a substantial $9 million purse, attracting top-tier talent from around the world. The winner of the tournament will earn an impressive $1.62 million, providing a significant incentive for players to deliver their best performances.
Rory McIlroy, currently ranked third in the world, enters the RBC Canadian Open with confidence and determination. Having claimed victory in last year’s edition by a margin of two shots over Tony Finau, McIlroy aims to repeat his success from last year. Joining McIlroy in the field is Matt Fitzpatrick, the eighth-ranked player in the world and the reigning US Open champion. Coming off a commendable tie for ninth place at Muirfield Village, Fitzpatrick brings momentum from his victory at April’s RBC Heritage. Brandt Snedeker, the 2013 RBC Canadian Open winner, returns to action after a nine-month injury layoff, aiming to regain his form. Other notable contenders include Sam Burns, Cameron Young, Tyrrell Hatton, and Shane Lowry, who finished as the runner-up to McIlroy in a previous edition.
