What does that mean for the game of golf? We still don’t know, but it’s safe to say the entire landscape of the sport has now changed.
Still, there’s a Tour event to play this week north of the border.
The 2023 edition of the RBC Canadian Open will be played at Oakdale Golf and Country Club in Toronto.
Rory McIlroy returns as the back-to-back defending champion after outlasting Tony Finau and Justin Thomas at St. George’s last season.
Here are some of the best photos from the 2023 RBC Canadian Open.
