Every year, Canada’s love for golf takes center stage at the RBC Canadian Open, a revered event in the professional golfing world. Showcasing some of the world’s top golfers, the tournament offers contenders the chance at glory and a share of several million dollars in prize money—last year’s fund reached an impressive $9 million. This year, the eagerly anticipated RBC Canadian Open returns to the Hamilton Golf and Country Club, drawing thousands of fans for an exciting event to usher in the summer season.
The Canadian Open is one of golf’s longest-running tournaments, ranking as the third-oldest continuously running event on the PGA Tour since its inception in 1904. As Canada’s largest golf event, it annually captivates golf enthusiasts nationwide. This year’s Canadian Open is scheduled to begin on May 28th and last until June 2nd.
The Hamilton Golf and Country Club has hosted the Canadian Open multiple times, most recently in 2019 when Rory McIlroy set a Canadian Open record score of 258. Established in 1894, this historic venue features 18 of its 27 holes designed by renowned English golf architect Harry Colt. Its meticulously manicured grounds provide an excellent setting for tournament golf, further enhanced by recent renovations.
