FAVORITES
Rory McIlroy (+450)
The Northern Irishman has won each of the last two editions of the RBC Canadian Open, so naturally, he’s going to be a man to watch out for this week up in Toronto. That said, McIlroy doesn’t really need a winning resume there to gain attention. So far this season, he is 7/9 with five top 10s, including a win at the 2023 THE CJ CUP in South Carolina and a T7 in his most recent start which was at the 2023 Memorial Tournament.
Sam Burns (+1200)
After getting cut consecutively at the 2023 Wells Fargo Championship and at the 2023 PGA Championship, Burns put up a strong performance at the 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge where he finished with a T6. He also claimed a T16 at the Memorial Tournament 2023. Burns also had a T4 in his debut at the RBC Canadian Open just last year. So far in the 2022-23 PGA TOUR season, Burns is 13/18 with a win (2023 World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play) and 10 top 25s.
Tyrrell Hatton (+1200)
Hatton extended his streak of made cuts to six starts with a T12 at the 2023 Memorial Tournament. Over that same span, he had a couple of top 5s as well, having finished with a T3 at the 2023 Well Fargo Championship and had that followed with a T5 at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson.
HIGH-VALUE SLEEPERS
Michael Kim (+8000)
Here’s what we said about Kim in our 2023 RBC Canadian Open sleepers piece.
The 29-year-old Kim has been up and down in his last few starts. He finished seventh at the 2023 Wells Fargo Championship and then missed the cut at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson before a resurgence at the 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge where he posted a T6. However, that cut at the AT&T Byron Nelson was his only missed one in his last nine starts. Over the same span, he also had a fifth place at the 2023 Puerto Rico Open and a T19 at the 2023 Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
David Lipsky (+10000)
Here’s what we said about Lipsky in our 2023 RBC Canadian Open sleepers piece.
The 34-year-old Lipsky is coming off quite a weekend, as he entered the fourth round of the 2023 Memorial Tournament leading the field. He ended up with a T12, which was not too shabby. He is 12/22 with two top 10s and six top 25s this season.
LONG SHOTS
Grayson Murray (+22500)
Ranked 227th in the world, Murray is 2/7 this season with a top 25 (T15 at the 2023 Puerto Rico Open).
Sam Bennett (+22500)
This will be just Bennett’s third start of the season. He had a T16 at the Masters Tournament and finished 63rd at the Memorial Tournament after shooting an 84 in the final round.
Writer’s Prediction
Rory McIlroy wins the 2023 RBC Canadian Open.
