The 2023 RBC Canadian Open is set to get underway from a new course at Oakdale Golf & Country Club. We’ve only seen a handful of winners at this event since 2016, including Rory McIlroy, who leads all golfers in the field at +450 to win outright for the third consecutive time. It’s a feat that has yet to be achieved elsewhere this season, while no one has won the RBC Canadian Open three straight times in over a century.
McIlroy had a share of the lead at The Memorial Tournament last weekend before imploding with numerous bogeys down the stretch. He is equipped with some of the most potent skills, primarily his driver, but finding greens in regulation and putting have been weaknesses for the Irishman this season. This leads to opening up the outright winner conversation with other golfers in the field at this non-Designated event, scheduled one week before the season's third major at the 2023 U.S. Open.
