Canada’s national championship is underway, and TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley is proving it belongs on the permanent rotation. I’ve covered enough PGA Tour events to know that a parkland course with six par-4s over 500 yards doesn’t reward scrambling – it exposes it. The players who win here are ball-strikers, and this week’s field is loaded with them.
Whether you’re heading up to Caledon or watching from your couch, this guide covers everything: confirmed ticket prices and parking tips, the full player field with odds and FedExCup rankings, course breakdown, concert details, prize money splits, and the answers to every question I’ve seen asked about this tournament. Nothing is left out.
Quick Answer: The 2026 RBC Canadian Open runs June 11–14 (Thursday through Sunday) at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley’s North Course in Caledon, Ontario. The total purse is $9,800,000 USD. Tommy Fleetwood and Matt Fitzpatrick share co-favorite status at +1300 odds. Children 12 and under enter free with a ticketed adult.

When and Where – Tournament Dates, Schedule, and TV
Competition rounds run Thursday June 11 through Sunday June 14. The pro-am and practice day is Wednesday June 10 — and if you want to attend on a budget, Wednesday is genuinely the best day to show up. Secondary market tickets run around $24 for Wednesday, compared to $43–$55 for competition rounds.
TV Schedule (all times ET):
Coverage airs on Golf Channel and NBC in the United States, and TSN in Canada. Peacock carries the early rounds streaming. Final round on Sunday shifts to NBC for the back nine.
This tournament sits the week before the US Open at Shinnecock Hills, which means several players are here specifically to get tournament reps before a major. That adds competitive intensity you don’t always see at regular Tour stops.
TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley: A Course Built for Champions
TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley sits one hour north of downtown Toronto in Caledon, and the North Course is the toughest test of the three courses on property. This is only its second year hosting the RBC Canadian Open — the venue made its debut in 2025 and Ryan Fox posted –18 to win – and that relative newness is something nobody on page one of Google talks about.
The North Course underwent a full renovation in 2023, guided by Canadian architect Ian Andrew with direct input from the PGA Tour. The goal was straightforward: build a course that challenges elite players without making it unplayable for the rest of us. Ian Andrew achieved that by focusing on three specific changes — strategic bunker placement that punishes the wrong side of the fairway, greenside runoff areas that demand precise approach angles, and new tee decks that stretch the course to 7,389 yards at par 70.
Par 70 is the number that defines this golf course. Six par-4s measuring over 500 yards. That’s not a layout that rewards getting clever with a gap wedge from 90 yards — it rewards hitting a 7-iron from 175 yards at the same flag you aimed at from the tee. Accurate iron players own this course.
Key holes worth watching on TV:
Hole 1 (Par 5, 542 yards): An opening par-5 with a right-to-left dogleg against a left-to-right sloping fairway. Players who shape the tee shot correctly set up a reachable par-5 in two. Those who bail right are blocked by the wooded area and forced to lay up. Sets the tone immediately.
Hole 13 (Green and 14th Tee Area — The Rink): This is the tournament’s signature fan experience zone. If you’re attending, spend 30 minutes here on Thursday or Friday. The viewing angles are excellent, and the atmosphere between the back-nine holes is worth the trip alone.
Hole 18 (Par 5, closing hole): Ryan Fox made birdie on this hole in the 2025 playoff to beat Sam Burns. Two years in a row, this hole will decide everything on Sunday afternoon.
2026 RBC Canadian Open Player Field – Favorites, Contenders, and Value Picks
Four of the top ten in the Official World Golf Ranking are in the field this week. That’s a strong pull for a June event that competes with pre-major preparation. Here’s a full breakdown.
Top Favorites and Opening Odds
| Player | Country | FedExCup Rank | Opening Odds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tommy Fleetwood | ENG | #10 | +1300 |
| Matt Fitzpatrick | ENG | #3 | +1300 |
| Sam Burns | USA | #23 | +1500 |
| Wyndham Clark | USA | #21 | +2200 |
| Kristoffer Reitan | NOR | #13 | +2200 |
| Collin Morikawa | USA | #5 | +2500 |
| Robert MacIntyre | SCO | #35 | +2700 |
| Nicolai Højgaard | DEN | #24 | +3300 |
| Justin Rose | ENG | #17 | +3000 |
| Brooks Koepka | USA | #69 | +3000 |
| Aaron Rai | ENG | #28 | +3500 |
| Viktor Hovland | NOR | #71 | +3500 |
| Alex Fitzpatrick | ENG | #20 | +3500 |
| Ryan Fox (defending) | NZL | #64 | +5000 |
Tommy Fleetwood and Matt Fitzpatrick at identical odds is the most interesting opening-line situation I’ve seen at a Canadian Open in years. Fitzpatrick is a better all-around ball-striker on paper – he’s #3 in FedExCup points, and a par-70 course with long par-4s suits his relentless approach accuracy. Fleetwood, though, has a better recent form line: two top-5 finishes in his last three starts and a late surge at the Memorial that showed his game is rounding into shape.
Sam Burns at +1500 deserves more attention than he’s getting. He lost a four-hole playoff to Ryan Fox at this exact venue last June. He knows TPC Toronto’s North Course better than almost anyone in the field, and his statistics – particularly strokes gained approach – profile exactly the way you want them to for a par-70 course with demanding par-4s.
Aaron Rai at +3500 is the most interesting value on the board. He just won the PGA Championship – his first major title – and followed it with a top-20 at the Memorial in his first start back. Players who win majors don’t stop producing immediately afterward. +3500 for a recent major champion who fits the course profile is real value.
Collin Morikawa deserves a mention for a different reason. He’s playing his first event since the PGA Championship, having taken time off for the birth of his first child. Players returning from extended breaks can go either way. Historically, Morikawa’s iron play profile is as good a match for TPC Toronto as anyone in the field. The question is whether tournament sharpness follows him from the first tee.
One honest limitation: if you’re hoping for a bomber who wins on distance alone, this course will disappoint you. There’s no substitute for iron play on the North Course. Jon Rahm is not in the field. Neither is Scottie Scheffler. The players at the top of the board this week won their spots through accuracy, not length.
Canadians in the Field – Who to Cheer For
Nineteen Canadians are competing this week, including three amateurs. The strongest Canadian representation on the professional side:
| Player | FedExCup Rank | Odds |
|---|---|---|
| Nick Taylor | #52 | +4000 |
| Sudarshan Yellamaraju | #48 | +6500 |
| Taylor Pendrith | #92 | +6500 |
| Corey Conners | #83 | +7000 |
| Mackenzie Hughes | #117 | +7000 |
| Adam Hadwin | #180 | +22500 |
Nick Taylor is the sentimental and competitive pick for Canada. He won the 2023 event at Oakdale Golf & Country Club in one of the most dramatic finishes in Canadian golf history – chipping in for eagle on the 72nd hole to force a playoff with Fleetwood, then winning on the first extra hole to become the first Canadian to win the Canadian Open since Pat Fletcher in 1954. He’s been solid all season at FedExCup #52 and the crowd will be entirely behind him.
Canadian amateurs Eric Zhao, Justin Matthews, and Dawson Lew all received exemptions into the field — a home-nation advantage that Golf Canada has long used to develop homegrown talent.

RBC Canadian Open Parking – How to Get There Without Losing Your Mind
Parking at TPC Toronto requires planning. This is the one thing the official website buries, and real attendees from 2025 have flagged it clearly: if you arrive late on Friday, budget an extra 90 minutes.
Two official spectator parking lots:
- Brampton Fairgrounds — 12942 Heart Lake Rd, Caledon, ON (south of the course)
- Orangeville Fairgrounds — north option
Both lots operate free shuttle service to TPC Toronto’s North Admissions entrance. Shuttles start 30 minutes before the first tee time each day and run until approximately one hour after play concludes on Thursday and Sunday. On Friday and Saturday (After Party nights), the last bus leaves the course at 9:30 PM Friday and 9:00 PM Saturday.
Parking tips from experience:
The shuttle experience has been smooth in past years. Give yourself 30 extra minutes on competition days and you won’t stress the logistics.
RBC Canadian Open After Party and Concerts 2026
The After Party is one of the genuine differentiators of the Canadian Open — it doesn’t happen at most PGA Tour events, and it turns Friday and Saturday into a full-evening experience rather than a day at the golf.
2026 After Party Lineup:
- Friday, June 12: Dwayne Gretzky — Canada’s self-described “greatest party band,” named (with theatrical looseness) after the greatest hockey player of all time. If you’ve seen them live, you know the energy. If you haven’t, expect a two-hour cover-band spectacle that the crowd at TPC Toronto takes very seriously.
- Saturday, June 13: James Barker Band — two-time JUNO Award winner. Their country/rock sound is a natural fit for a Canadian outdoor event.
- Both nights also feature: Alexa Goldie as part of the performance line-up.
The After Party is included with Friday and Saturday grounds tickets. No additional ticket required. It takes place after play concludes on those days — typically beginning around 7:00–7:30 PM ET depending on final group finishing times.
If you’re attending Saturday, arrive by 10 AM, walk the course all day, and stay through the James Barker Band’s set. That’s a 10-hour day at one of Canada’s best outdoor sporting events. It’s worth every minute.
The $9.8 Million Purse – Prize Money Breakdown
The 2026 RBC Canadian Open carries a total purse of $9,800,000 USD.
| Finish | Approximate Payout |
|---|---|
| 1st (Winner) | $1,764,000 |
| 2nd | $1,069,250 |
| 3rd | $677,250 |
| 4th | $480,200 |
| 5th | $401,800 |
| 10th | ~$196,000 |
| 25th (approximate cut line value) | ~$58,800 |
| Made Cut (70th) | ~$25,480 |
The winner also receives 500 FedExCup points and a Masters Tournament invitation for the following April. Additionally, as part of the Open Qualifying Series, up to three of the top-ten finishers who are not already exempt earn a spot in The Open Championship. Winning here unlocks a major and a Masters slot in one week’s work. That’s why players like Morikawa and Fitzpatrick fly to Canada even with the U.S. Open starting Thursday next week.
121 Years of History – From Royal Montreal to TPC Toronto
The Canadian Open is the third-oldest continuously running tournament on the PGA Tour, behind only The Open Championship and the U.S. Open. It began in 1904 at Royal Montreal Golf Club — the oldest golf club in North America — and has been played annually ever since, with pauses only for World War I, World War II, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Before the modern Tour era, this event carried significant prestige. Between the wars, the Canadian Open was sometimes called the third most important tournament in golf. Jack Nicklaus — the greatest player in history by most measures — finished runner-up here seven times without ever winning. That remains the most notable non-win in the tournament’s history.
Recent tournament history and venues:
| Year | Host Venue | Winner |
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | Hamilton G&CC, Ancaster, ON | Rory McIlroy (–22, record) |
| 2020–21 | Cancelled (COVID-19) | — |
| 2022 | St. George’s Golf and Country Club | Rory McIlroy |
| 2023 | Oakdale Golf & Country Club, North York, ON | Nick Taylor (playoff vs. Fleetwood) |
| 2024 | Hamilton Golf & Country Club, Ancaster, ON | Robert MacIntyre |
| 2025 | TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley (debut) | Ryan Fox (playoff vs. Sam Burns) |
| 2026 | TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley | In progress |
The 2023 event at Oakdale Golf & Country Club produced one of the best moments in Canadian golf history. Nick Taylor chipped in for eagle at the 72nd hole – in front of a roaring home crowd – to force a playoff with Tommy Fleetwood, then eliminated him on the first extra hole. It was the first Canadian victory at the Canadian Open since Pat Fletcher in 1954. Seventy years.
Glen Abbey Golf Course in Oakville held the record for most Canadian Opens with 30 events before ownership disputes led to the tournament moving to other venues. Royal Montreal hosted ten times. Hamilton Golf & Country Club has now hosted seven times. TPC Toronto joins an exclusive list as one of the newest permanent-track venues.
The championship moves between venues with a clear preference for southern Ontario and the Greater Toronto Area — 39 of the 121 editions have been played in that corridor. The historical heart of Canadian championship golf is within two hours of downtown Toronto.
RBC Canadian Open 2027 – Where Is It?
Golf Canada and RBC confirmed in May 2026 that TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley will host the 2027 RBC Canadian Open – making it at least three consecutive years at the same venue (2025, 2026, 2027).
This matters for Canadian golf fans in a couple of ways. First, it signals a long-term commitment to building TPC Toronto as a flagship venue, similar to how Augusta National owns the Masters or Pebble Beach owns the U.S. Open. Second, it means the infrastructure, atmosphere, and course setup will only improve year-over-year as players and organizers learn the venue.
Canada’s only TPC Network course is earning its place on the permanent championship calendar. Book 2027 into your calendar now – it won’t get cheaper or easier to get tickets as the venue builds its reputation.

Golf Canada awarded exemptions to nine Canadians through its national qualifier process for 2026. Receiving final exemptions were Canadian players Eric Zhao (a), Laurent Desmarchais, Vince Covello, and Jeevan Sihota — four players whose entries were confirmed the week before the tournament started. In total, 147 players compete.
The 2027 RBC Canadian Open will also be held at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley in Caledon, Ontario — confirmed by Golf Canada and RBC in May 2026. This makes it three consecutive years at TPC Toronto (2025, 2026, 2027).
Oakdale Golf & Country Club in North York, Ontario hosted the 2023 RBC Canadian Open. That edition produced one of the most memorable moments in the tournament’s history — Nick Taylor’s eagle chip-in at 18 to force a playoff with Tommy Fleetwood, which Taylor won to become the first Canadian champion since 1954.
Yes. Since 2019, the RBC Canadian Open has been part of the Open Qualifying Series, meaning up to three top-ten finishers who are not already exempt can earn entry into The Open Championship. This significantly raises the stakes for international players competing on the edge of the Open exemption list.
Plan Your 2026 RBC Canadian Open
The 2026 RBC Canadian Open is one of the most interesting fields assembled at this event in years – four top-ten world rankings, a recent major champion in Aaron Rai, a defending champ in Ryan Fox who knows exactly how to win here, and a Canadian contingent led by Nick Taylor who’d genuinely like to add a second title. TPC Toronto’s North Course is a fair but demanding test, and Sunday at the 18th hole will deliver another moment worth watching.
If you’re heading to Caledon this week, leave early for the parking lots on Friday, stay for the James Barker Band on Saturday, and spend Thursday morning walking the back nine. That’s the best version of this event. For more on following the world’s best golfers in Canada, check out our guide to watching PGA Tour events in 2026.
