If you’re into national championships, this time on the calendar is your happy place.

The U.S. Women’s Open ended Sunday and the U.S Open is next week at Oakmont, and squeezed in between those is the RBC Canadian Open, the second-oldest non-major on the PGA Tour schedule (only the BMW Championship/Western Open is older, having started in 1899).

Arnold Palmer won the Canadian Open in 1955 for his first PGA Tour title. Lee Trevino, Greg Norman, Curtis Strange and Nick Price were all multiple champions. Jack Nicklaus never won it, the only notable omission in his career.

Native Canadian Nick Taylor won in a playoff in 2023 with a 72-foot putt heard across the country and Bob MacIntyre won last year with his father on the bag in an emotional first Tour win.

Being the week before a major compromises the Canadian Open’s field a bit but there is a big headliner with the world No. 2 teeing it up at TPC Toronto. Rory McIlroy is a two-time winner and in 2019 set the tournament’s aggregate scoring mark at 258. 

Five other top-20 players are in the field: Ludvig Åberg, Shane Lowry, Justin Rose, MacIntyre and Canadian Corey Conners.
