RBC Canadian Open History

One of the longest-running tournaments on the PGA Tour, the Canadian Open first debuted in 1904 at the Royal Montreal Golf Club in Dorval, Quebec. An Englishman by the name of Jack Oke claimed victory at the inaugural edition with a score of 16-over-par.

Canadian-born players captured seven of the first 10 Canadian Open trophies, but since World War I, only two native Canucks have made his way to the winner’s circle: Pat Fletcher (1954) and Nick Taylor (2023).

Americans have won over 70 of the Opens, with countrymen of the U.K. (England, Scotland and Northern Ireland) securing 11 victories and Aussies compiling nine wins. Other Canadian Open winners have hailed from South Africa (3 wins), Venezuala (2), Zimbabwae (2), and Fiji (1).

A tournament that was long considered a fifth major, and part of “the Triple Crown” (Canada, U.S., British), the Canadian Open annually drew elite fields until it was moved on the 1988 PGA Tour schedule and its field strength dropped off significantly.

Notable winners include Tommy Armour, Walter Hagen, Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, Bobby Locke, Arnold Palmer, Billy Casper, Lee Trevino, Greg Norman, Nick Price, Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh and Rory McIlroy.

Trevino, a three-time winner, is the only player in history to win the national open championship of the United States (U.S. Open), Canada (Canadian Open), Britain (British Open), and Mexico (Mexico Open). In 1971, the “Merry Mex” won what was then considered the triple crown, scoring victories at the U.S. Open, Canadian Open and British Open in a span of 19 days.

Two-time PGA Championship winner Leo Diegel holds the tournament record for victories. The American recorded four wins in a six-year span from 1924 to 1929.

The Canadian Open has traditionally rotated between courses, with Glen Abbey Golf Course hosting the most often (30 editions). This will be the second edition at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley (2025-26).

RBC Canadian Open Field

Five-time major champion Brooks Koepka will headline the field up north. The 36-year-old star, who has struggled somewhat in his return to the Tour – posting just a single top-10 finish in 10 starts, will be seeking his first highlight reel moment since leaving LIV Golf.

Sam Burns, who lost to Ryan Fox in a playoff last year at TPC Toronto, enters in solid form. He comes in off a T4 at the Memorial. In the season’s two majors, Burns has played well, posting a T26 (PGA) and T7 (Masters). He finished T4 in Canada in 2022.

Matt Fitzpatrick was on a heater earlier this season with two individual wins (Valspar, Heritage) along with a team win in New Orleans. But the Englishman has cooled off dramatically, posting T36, T14 and T55 in his last three starts.

Tommy Fleetwood, who lost in a playoff to Nick Taylor in his Canadian Open debut in 2023, enters in strong form with two top-5s in his last three starts, including a T4 at last week’s Memorial.

Collin Morikawa was red hot in the spring but has struggled since tweaking an injury of some sort, post-Masters. He’s only played twice since mid-April and both starts were forgetful: T62 at Doral, followed by a T55 at the PGA.

Ageless Justin Rose, 45, enters off two straight top-12s: T12 at the Memorial and T10 at the PGA. His new McLaren irons appear to be working.

Wyndham Clark changed his putter or putting style… or did something. After missing two straight cuts at the Valspar and Houston, the 2023 U.S. Open champion showed up at Augusta and has reeled off four top-25s in his last five starts, including back-to-back top-3s, highlighted by a win at the Byron Nelson and T3 at the Memorial. He enters Canada as the Tour’s hottest player at the moment.

Irishman Shane Lowry started the 2026 season on a heater with a T3 in Dubai, a T8 at Pebble Beach and a runner-up at PGA National. He had moved inside the top 30 in the world rankings. But since that runner-up in late February, Lowry has made eight starts and has failed to post even a single top-20 finish.

Finally, Nick Taylor, currently ranked No. 62 in the world, became the first Canadian since 1954 to win the country’s national championship. That iconic win was amid a career rebirth for Taylor who won three times in a three-season span. Now 38, Taylor enters in middling form with just one top-10 finish over the past 12 months. Other top Canadian hopefuls this year include Corey Conners (No. 54), Taylor Pendrith (94), Sudarshan Yellamaraju (110), and Mackenzie Hughes (133). This marks the first time six Canadians have been ranked inside the world top 90 entering Canada’s national championship.
