Pre-Tournament Report
The field includes 147 players from 23 countries. Sixteen come from the top 50 in the world ranking, and 10 sit inside the top 25 of the FedExCup standings. Matt Fitzpatrick is the highest-ranked entrant at world No. 4. Collin Morikawa, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose, Viktor Hovland and Brooks Koepka round out the marquee names. The home contingent always draws attention, led by Nick Taylor, Corey Conners, Taylor Pendrith and Mackenzie Hughes.
Two notable names are missing. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are both sitting out to prepare for the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills. That absence opens the door for the next tier, and the betting market reflects it.
TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley plays as a par 70 at 7,389 yards, so it is not one of the longer venues on TOUR. The North Course was renovated in 2023 and features two par 5s, four par 3s and 12 par 4s. It closes with a demanding par-5 18th that asks players to take on water. The greens are the primary defense here, and they reward precise approach play over raw power.
Ryan Fox is the defending champion. He won the 2025 edition at 18 under in a playoff over Sam Burns, the first time the tournament was staged at this course. Recent winners elsewhere include Robert MacIntyre, Nick Taylor and Rory McIlroy.

RBC Canadian Open Top Pick to Win
Fleetwood sits atop the board for good reason. He broke through for his first PGA Tour title at the 2025 Tour Championship, which also delivered the FedExCup. That win answered the one question that followed him for years. He has carried steady form into 2026, with five top-10 finishes and a spot near the top of the FedExCup standings.
His profile fits this course well. Fleetwood ranks among the better iron players in the field, and his short game travels. On a layout defended by its greens, ball-striking and touch matter more than length. A T5 at the Truist Championship shows the recent baseline is solid.
The case against is familiar. Fleetwood went years collecting runner-up finishes before that first win, and closing remains a fair question. He also missed the cut at the PGA Championship, his first MC of the season. The +1200 price is the shortest on the board, so the margin for error is thin. Still, at a course that suits his game and without Scheffler or McIlroy in the way, he is the most complete pick available.
The Pick: Tommy Fleetwood to win (+1200)
Our RBC Canadian Open Value Play — Collin Morikawa
If the greens decide this tournament, Morikawa belongs in the conversation. He leads the TOUR in Strokes Gained: Approach the Green this season, and that skill travels to any course where iron play sets up scoring. He ended a long winless stretch at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February, then added more top-10s, including a T4 at the RBC Heritage. He sits inside the top 10 of the world ranking.
The doubts center on the putter. Morikawa's approach play rarely lets him down, but cold putting can stall good weeks. He also managed a back issue earlier in the season. At +2800, the price builds in those concerns. For a player whose biggest strength matches the course's biggest test, that number offers real value.
The Pick: Collin Morikawa to win (+2800)
Tournament Outlook — Picks and Final Thoughts
The home crowd gives the Top Canadian Player market real interest. Nick Taylor is the favorite there at +330 as the 2023 champion. The better value looks like Corey Conners as Top Canadian Player (+500). Conners owns a strong record at his national open, and he has made 12 of 13 cuts in 2026. The knock is that he has not won this season, and a soft weekend at the Memorial gives bettors pause. At +500 among a deep Canadian group, the consistency still plays.
For a lower-variance angle on the favorite, the Tournament Group Betting market offers Tommy Fleetwood to win Group A (+275). That bet only asks him to beat Fitzpatrick, Burns, Clark and Koepka rather than the full 147-player field. The trade-off is a shorter return, but the path is far simpler.
From a strategy view, the two par 5s are clear scoring chances, and the closing par-5 18th can swing the leaderboard. The greens dictate the pace, so the lowest rounds should come from the best iron players. Last year's playoff finished at 18 under, so a winning score deep in the teens looks likely again.
Final picks: Tommy Fleetwood to win (+1200), Collin Morikawa to win (+2800), Corey Conners as Top Canadian Player (+500), and Tommy Fleetwood to win Group A (+275). Each carries risk, but each offers a defensible reason to back it this week at TPC Toronto.
