2026 RBC Canadian Open: PGA Betting and Fantasy Preview - Key Stats, Course Breakdown, Tournament Trends, TV Times, and More

June 9, 2026

2026 RBC Canadian Open betting and fantasy golf preview with key stats, TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley (North) course breakdown, field analysis, and TV times for this week’s PGA Tour event.

The PGA TOUR heads north of the border this week for the RBC Canadian Open at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley's North Course in Caledon, Ontario. This historic national championship features a 147-player field and a 36-hole cut as players make their final tune-up ahead of next week's U.S. Open. There will also be a strong sense of national pride, with 19 Canadians in the field.

Defending champion Ryan Fox returns looking to successfully defend the title he captured last year after defeating Sam Burns in a playoff. While the field is not as deep as many of the PGA TOUR's recent Signature Events, it remains relatively strong compared to recent editions of the RBC Canadian Open. Although only four players ranked inside the top 10 of the Official World Golf Ranking are set to compete, the tournament still features a solid mix of top-ranked players, proven PGA TOUR winners, and emerging talent.

For those who have followed my work in the past, you know my betting picks are usually included within this article. This year will be a little different, as my official plays will be part of our RotoBaller PGA Premium packages.

RBC Canadian Open - Course/Tournament History

The RBC Canadian Open is one of the most historic tournaments in professional golf, dating back to 1904. It is the third-oldest continuously running event on the PGA TOUR, trailing only The Open Championship and the U.S. Open. Throughout its history, the tournament has been played at many of Canada's most prestigious golf courses, showcasing the country's rich golfing tradition.

In its early years, the Canadian Open rotated among renowned clubs such as Royal Montreal Golf Club and Toronto Golf Club. As the event grew in stature, it expanded to other iconic venues, including Hamilton Golf and Country Club, St. George's Golf and Country Club, and Glen Abbey Golf Club. Glen Abbey became particularly synonymous with the tournament, hosting the event a record 30 times between 1977 and 2018.

Over the years, the Canadian Open has crowned many of golf's greatest champions, including Tiger Woods, Arnold Palmer, and Lee Trevino. For Canadian golf fans, however, few moments compare to what occurred in 2023 when Nick Taylor holed a dramatic 72-foot eagle putt in a playoff to become the first Canadian winner of the event in 69 years. The victory instantly became one of the most memorable moments in Canadian sports history.

To commemorate Taylor's historic triumph, Golf Canada and RBC unveiled an updated tournament logo featuring the silhouette of his celebratory putter toss. The logo serves as a lasting tribute to one of the most iconic finishes the tournament has ever produced.

Now sponsored by the Royal Bank of Canada, the RBC Canadian Open continues to balance tradition with innovation. The tournament often serves as a key tune-up event ahead of the U.S. Open and has recently rotated among both historic and modern venues, including Oakdale Golf & Country Club, Hamilton Golf and Country Club, and Royal Montreal Golf Club.

That evolution continued in 2025 when the RBC Canadian Open was held at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley for the first time in tournament history. Located in Caledon, Ontario, the North Course underwent significant renovations before hosting the event and now measures 7,389 yards. The layout features wide fairways, large undulating greens, and a design that rewards both power and precision.

Following a successful debut, the RBC Canadian Open returns to TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley in 2026, where players will once again face one of the newest championship venues on the PGA TOUR schedule.

RBC Canadian Open - Course Guide/ Scorecard

Originally designed by Doug Carrick in 2001, TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley's North Course is a par-70 layout featuring four par 3s, twelve par 4s, and two par 5s.

The North Course is one of the longer tests on the PGA TOUR, stretching to 7,389 yards and ranking seventh among 44 PGA TOUR venues in total yardage. Despite its length, the course features relatively generous landing areas, with fairways averaging 39.0 yards wide, making them the seventh widest on TOUR.

The greens average approximately 6,500 square feet, placing them near the TOUR average and slightly larger than what players typically encounter throughout the season. As a result, approach play remains important, but players will have more room to work with than at many other venues.

Bunkers are not a major defense of the golf course, as the North Course features just 48 bunkers, the sixth-fewest among PGA TOUR stops. Water hazards are also limited, coming into play on only three holes, which ranks among the lowest totals on TOUR.

Instead, the primary challenge comes from the course's length and the need to take advantage of scoring opportunities when they arise. If the wind remains manageable, as it often can during tournament week, the longer hitters in the field should have a distinct advantage and may be able to attack the course more aggressively than they can at many other PGA TOUR venues.

RBC Canadian Open - Notable Par 3s

The four par 3s at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley range from 144 to 237 yards in length, creating a mix of scoring opportunities and challenging tests. Last season, the two shorter par 3s, No. 4 and No. 14, both played under par and provided players with some of the better birdie opportunities on the course.

In contrast, the longer par 3s, No. 7 and No. 11, both measuring over 200 yards, played over par and ranked among the more difficult holes on the layout. Those holes place a premium on long-iron play and can quickly lead to dropped shots when players miss their targets.

Hole 11 | Par 3 | 225 Yards | 2025 Stroke Average: 3.07 (Difficulty Rank - 5)

A long par-3, the 11th represents one of the most dramatic changes from the 2023 renovation of the North course. The green sits between a pond and a massive slope on the left side, requiring players to either hit a courageous shot over water or play out left and suffer the consequences.

A small shortgrass area sits short and left of the green as a bailout option for more timid tee shots, while the fescue-covered hillside punishes approaches that sail long left. The green features a distinct spine in the middle separating the putting surface into two main sections.

Hole 14 | Par 3 | 144 Yards | 2025 Stroke Average: 2.775 (Difficulty Rank - 15)

Known widely as The Rink Hole during the RBC Canadian Open, the 14th features a hilltop tee box that plays downhill to a green that Renovation Architect Ian Andrew, who worked on the original shaping of the green, says is inspired by the internal bowl shaping of Royal Melbourne’s fifth hole.

The putting surface is surrounded by three distinct and deep bunkers, with the raised perimeter of the putting green offering a chance to play the ball off slopes back to the middle of the green but punishing any shots that miss the green and end up short-sided.

RBC Canadian Open - Notable Par 4s

There are 12 par 4s at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley's North Course, with the majority measuring between 450 and 500 yards. The shortest is the 350-yard 6th hole, while the longest is the demanding 530-yard 17th.

Many of these par 4s place a premium on both distance and precision, requiring players to consistently hit quality long irons and mid irons into the greens. Last year, the 17th hole proved to be the toughest par 4 on the course and the most difficult hole overall, playing well over par and presenting a significant challenge late in the round.

Hole 10 | Par 4 | 416 Yards | 2025 Stroke Average: 4.061 (Difficulty Rank - 6)

A change of pace from the massive scale of the par-4 ninth, the bunkerless 10th opens the back nine with a test of precision on a smaller scale. A winding S-shaped fairway curves from right to left, requiring players to lay well back off the tee or curve their tee shot from right-to-left to hold the fairway.

The green is protected by a pond short, which comes into play for poorly struck approaches due to the severely-sloped shortgrass area and front of the green - a feature that effectively moves the line of the hazard five or six paces into the green. Players who fail to hold the fairway and miss in the right rough have to navigate carrying their approach shot far enough onto the green, with any balls that come up short rolling back into the pond under firm and fast conditions.

Hole 17 | Par 4 | 530 Yards | 2025 Stroke Average: 4.277 (Difficulty Rank - 1)

An angled fairway curves from left-to-right and is guarded by a massive fairway bunker down the right side, setting up a challenge for longer players who try to take advantage with an aggressive line. The severely right-to-left sloping green is protected by three large bunkers and a sharp drop-off slope long and left.

Matching line and distance off the tee is critical, while any shots that miss the green to the right are presented with a difficult up-and-down due to the right-to-left slope of the green.

RBC Canadian Open - Notable Par 5s

There are just two par 5s on the North Course, the opening hole and the finishing 18th. Both played under par during the 2025 RBC Canadian Open and represented the best scoring opportunities on the course.

The par-5 1st was the easiest hole on the property last year, producing a scoring average of 4.397, which was 0.603 strokes under par. The par-5 18th also played under par and offers players a final opportunity to make up ground on the leaderboard, creating the potential for late-round drama on Sunday afternoon.

The 18th hole also served as the stage for last year's playoff between Ryan Fox and Sam Burns. The two players returned to the finishing hole three times before Fox finally secured the title, further highlighting how pivotal the closing hole can be in determining the tournament champion.

Hole 1 | Par 5 | 542 Yards | 2025 Stroke Average: 4.397  (Difficulty Rank - 18)

The first tee asks players to determine how aggressive they'd like to be with their first shot of the round. The fairway slopes hard from left-to-right, requiring players to take a dangerous line down the left hand side to find the optimal landing zone on both the tee shot and lay-up, while conservative plays down the right side are made complicated by the presence of two imposing bunkers that flank the right side of the hole.

Hole 18 | Par 5 | 581 Yards | 2025 Stroke Average: 4.514 (Difficulty Rank - 17)

The risk-reward closing hole is built to be a dramatic closer for everything from a match with buddies to the 72nd hole of a national championship, with everything from eagle to double bogey or worse in play.

The 585-yard par-5 is set up by a series of angled bunkers down the right side, the last of which requires a 330+ yard carry to safely cover. The more tee shots can cut off, the greater the reward, as a ‘speed slot’ kicks tee shots forward and can shorten approaches by 30 yards or more. Conversely, tee shots that decline the risky line off the tee and play safely out left are faced with a more complex decision on the longer second shot.

The front and left of the green is protected by a pond and severely-sloped shortgrass runoff area, punishing shots that come up just short or left with a slow roll back to a watery demise. The net result is an opportunity for players to pull off daring risk-reward shot on both the tee shot and approach and finish the round with anything from tragedy to glory.
