The PGA Tour heads north of the US border for the RBC Canadian Open at Hamilton Golf & Country Club in Ontario.
If the event is as memorable as 2023, we are in for a treat. The week began with the bombshell news that the PGA Tour and the Saudi Public Investment Fund behind LIV Golf were in talks over a deal. After the news of that began to sink in, the action on the course was almost as dramatic.
Eventually, huge, raucous crowds watched as Tommy Fleetwood and local hero Nick Taylor battled it out in an epic playoff, with the Canadian draining a 72-foot eagle putt on the fourth extra hole to send the home fans into raptures. It then got even more chaotic, as compatriot Adam Hadwin raced onto the green to celebrate the win, and was promptly rugby tackled by a security guard!

When the dust had settled, Taylor picked up earnings of $1.62m from an overall person $9m for his win. However, this year, there is even more to play for, with an overall payout of $9.4m.
That’s almost $7m more than the $2.5m being offered at the other big men’s tournament this week, the DP World Tour’s European Open. However, it falls some way short of the $12m prize money payout of the US Women’s Open.
The winner will earn $1.692m, while there’s a payday of $1.024m for the runner-up. There are also 500 FedEx Cup points available to the winner.
Below is the prize money payout for the RBC Canadian Open.
