The 2025 RBC Canadian Open: PGA Tour Betting Odds

For the first time this event will be held at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley in Caledon. Two-time winner Rory McIlroy is favoured on the golf odds.

TPC Toronto’s North Course, a par 70 at 7,390 yards, will become the 38th track in the 121-year history of the event and only the eighth since 1977 to host Canada’s national men’s golf championship. It will host again in 2026.  In 2023, the Doug Carrick-designed North Course located 40 minutes from Pearson International Airport underwent a major renovation ahead of hosting this event. Holes eight and 13 were converted to par 4s, while 585-yard par-5 18th hole had several changes that makes it a very high-risk, high-reward finale.

At least 21 Canadian players are set to tee it up in the second-oldest non-major on the PGA Tour’s schedule. One of those is Sudarshan Yellamaraju (+40000) of Mississauga, who competes in the event for the first time. Yellamaraju earned his first career title on the Korn Ferry Tour in January in the Bahamas. Former Masters champion Mike Weir (+100000) will be competing in his 32nd RBC Canadian Open, tying Canadian Golf Hall of Famer George Cumming for most starts in the tournament.

The U.S. Open is next week, so some big-name guys are skipping to get ready for the year’s third major championship and usually its toughest one. Plus, most of the world’s best played last week at the Memorial Tournament in Ohio, a Signature Event won by No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who is off this week. However, No. 2 McIlroy skipped that in part because he was committed to the Canadian Open. 

The defending champion is Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre, who shot 16-under 264 at Hamilton Golf and Country Club, beating out American Ben Griffin by a shot. It was the first PGA Tour victory for MacIntyre, who had his father Dougie at his side as his caddie. Four strokes ahead entering the final round, MacIntyre shot a 2-under 68. He two-putted for par on the 72^nd to avoid a playoff after Griffin shot a Sunday 65. MacIntyre also has won a couple of times on the DP World Tour career and is +2500 to repeat this week. The last player to do that in this event was Venezuela’s Jhonattan Vegas in 2017. 

The RBC Canadian Open Golf Odds

It’s obviously difficult to handicap this week playing at a course for the first time, but Rory McIlroy (+450) won this event at St. George’s Golf and Country Club in 2019 and then again in 2022 at Hamilton Golf and Country Club. McIlroy finished T4 last year, three shots behind the winner. 

The only players to win the Canadian Open at least three times are Leo Diegel, Tommy Armour, Lee Trevino and Sam Snead, all Americans. We last saw McIlroy struggle to a T47 at the PGA Championship. McIlroy, defending champion Robert MacIntyre, Canadian Nick Taylor (2023) and Brandt Snedeker (2013) are the only past tournament winners in the field.

Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg (+1400), Canada’s Corey Conners (+1800) and Ireland’s Shane Lowry (+1800) are the only other players below +2500 to win. Aberg won in California in February but has just one Top 10 since and comes off a T16 at the Memorial on Sunday. Lowry hasn’t won in 2025 but has two runners-up and was T23 at the Memorial. Seventeen-year-old American Tyler Mawhinney, who won the Canadian Amateur last summer, is making his PGA Tour debut and is +100000. 

Conners is the top-ranked Canadian in the world at No. 21. He finished sixth last year in Hamilton to earn low Canadian honors (winner gets the Rivermead Cup), a title he’s earned in two of the last three years. Conners is off a T25 at the Memorial, where Nick Taylor finished fourth. He’s +4000 to win this event a second time. Taylor Pendrith is +2800, Mackenzie Hughes +4500, Adam Hadwin +15000 and Adam Svensson +15000 among notable other Canadians.

The RBC Canadian Open Golf Predictions

An American has won the event just once since 2014, but we like the Tour’s best putter Sam Burns at +2500 this week. Since finishing 46^th at the Masters, he hasn’t been worse than 30^th in six events. Burns was T10 last year in Hamilton.
