CALEDON, Ont. — Some of the biggest names in golf are set to tee it up at the RBC Canadian Open this summer, while tournament organizers also announced the event will return to TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley in 2027.
RBC and Golf Canada shared some of the initial field commitments Monday at the club — about 45 minutes north of Toronto’s airport — and amongst the splashy confirmations are three golfers ranked inside the top 10 in the world: Matt Fitzpatrick, Collin Morikawa and Tommy Fleetwood.
Brooks Koepka will also return to the RBC Canadian Open for the first time since 2019.
Fleetwood and Fitzpatrick have been mainstays at the lone PGA Tour stop in Canada, but Morikawa — like Koepka — hasn’t teed it up since 2019, when he finished tied for 14th.
Both Fitzpatrick’s and Morikawa’s wives are pregnant and expecting their first children this summer but, for now, the pair is in.
Koepka re-joined the PGA Tour earlier this year from LIV Golf and must play at least 15 events on the Tour schedule as part of the rules of his return. Since he cannot receive sponsor exemptions into signature events, Koepka must fill his tournament list as much as he can — for example, he’s playing an alternate-field event this week in Myrtle Beach. His star power, however, hasn’t diminished.
Other notables who are set to join the field include Max Homa and Tony Finau, while Ryan Fox will return to defend his title from 2025. Fox won last year’s Canadian Open in a playoff over Sam Burns after hitting what he called “the best shot” of his life on the fourth playoff hole.
RBC-sponsored golfers Burns, Shane Lowry and Sahith Theegala will be joined by a plethora of Canadian talent, including 2023 RBC Canadian Open winner Nick Taylor and the country’s top-ranked male golfer Corey Conners.
Mike Weir has also accepted a sponsor invite and will compete in his incredible 33rd RBC Canadian Open as he inches closer to George Cumming’s record total.
“We look forward to welcoming many of the world’s top golfers and our Team RBC ambassadors to this year’s field as our tournament continues to elevate the profile of golf across our country and inspire millions of fans around the globe,” said Shannon Cole, chief brand officer of RBC, in a release.
As part of Monday’s announcement, the bank and Golf Canada also confirmed TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley’s North Course will host next year’s Canadian Open — making it three years in a row for the Caledon facility, which underwent an impressive overhaul leading into the 2025 edition of the event.
“We’re incredibly honoured to host Canada’s National Open Championship, and to be part of the ongoing legacy of this historic event,” said Chris Humeniuk, President, TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley. “We were thrilled with how the venue was received during our first time hosting the event in 2025 and look forward to building on the success of that event with our commitment to continuous improvement and collaboration with our partners at Golf Canada, RBC and the PGA Tour.”
The 2026 Canadian Open will be held June 11-14. More field commitments and tournament announcements will be shared in the coming weeks.
