A competitive field of the world's best golfers will compete for the title at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley for the first time this weekend. Who will win the RBC Canadian Open come Sunday?

Robert MacIntyre is back to defend his title after a one-stroke victory over Ben Griffin in 2024.

TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley is the 38th venue to host the RBC Canadian Open in the tournament’s 121-year history.

Past and present Major winners who will tee off on the North Course on Thursday include Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry, Wyndham Clark, Justin Rose, Danny Willett, Gary Woodland, and Mike Weir.

These are our four selections that could win the title this weekend.

Shane Lowry

Shane Lowry had an inconsistent beginning to his season on the PGA Tour, missing the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open, placing 2nd at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and finishing T39 at the Genesis Invitational.

However, Lowry did not take long to rediscover his touch, placing T11 at the Cognizant Classic, 7th at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, T20 at the Players Championship, T8 at the Valspar Championship, T42 at the Masters, T18 at the RBC Heritage, T12 at the Zurich Masters in New Orleans, T2 at the Truist Championship, MC at the PGA Championship, and T23 at the Memorial Tournament last weekend.

The former Open Champion has featured six times at the RBC Canadian Open, with results of MC in 2017, T12 in 2018, T2 in 2019, T10 in 2022, T43 in 2023, and T33 in 2024.

Lowry has been playing well this year and can win the title at TPC Toronto this weekend.

Robert MacIntyre

Robert MacIntyre had a decent start to his season on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, finishing T15 at the Sentry, T53 at the Sony Open in Hawaii, T17 at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, and T40 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

MacIntyre found some solid form after those performances, placing T6 at the WM Phoenix Open, MC at the Genesis Invitational, T11 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, 9th at the Players Championship, and T9 at the Porsche Singapore Classic (DP World Tour).

However, MacIntyre could not maintain his level of play in his subsequent five events, with results of MC at the Masters, T66 at the RBC Heritage, T32 at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, T34 at the Truist Championship, and T47 at the PGA Championship before placing T6 at the Charles Schwab Memorial, and T20 at the Memorial Tournament.

The Scotsman won the RBC Canadian Open on debut in 2024.

MacIntyre has been thereabouts lately and can win back-to-back titles at TPC Toronto this weekend.

Taylor Pendrith

Taylor Pendrith had an excellent start to his season on the PGA Tour lately, placing T13 at the Sentry, T45 at the Sony Open in Hawaii, T7 at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, T9 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Pendrith lacked consistency after those results, finishing T50 at the Genesis Invitational, MC at the Cognizant Classic, T5 at the Texas Children's Houston Open, MC at the Masters, T42 at the RBC Heritage, and MC at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson before placing T5 at the PGA Championship, and T12 at the Memorial Tournament last weekend.

The 33-year-old Canadian golfer has contested the RBC Canadian Open twice, finishing T65 in 2023 and T21 in 2024.

Pendrith appears to have turned the corner and can lift the winning trophy in Canada this weekend.

Sam Burns

Sam Burns was thereabouts at the start of his season on the PGA Tour, finishing T8 at the Sentry, T29 at the American Express, T22 at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, T49 at the WM Phoenix Open, T24 at the Genesis Invitational, and T48 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

After those results, Burns struggled with his game, missing the cut at the Valspar Championship and the Valero Texas Open before finishing T46 at the Masters.

The 28-year-old improved in his subsequent four events, placing T13 at the RBC Heritage, T5 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, T30 at the Truist Championship, T19 at the PGA Championship, and T12 at the Memorial Tournament last weekend.

The five-time PGA Tour winner has made three appearances at the RBC Canadian Open, placing T4 in 2022, MC in 2023, and T10 in 2024.

Burns has shown positive signs that he is ready to produce a big result on the PGA Tour.

Verdict

RBC Canadian Open

Lowry has been ever-present on the leaderboards lately and can make the frame in Canada this weekend.

MacIntyre has been thereabouts this season and can secure victory at the RBC Canadian Open for the second year running.

Pendrith will have his home fans cheering him on to go all the way and win at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley this weekend.

Burns enters the tournament in solid touch and can pocket the winner's cheque come Sunday.
