Brandt Snedeker leads other big names who are injured ahead of the 2025 RBC Canadian Open

The RBC Canadian Open 2025 is around the corner as Round 1 of this tournament is all set to be played from Thursday, June 5th. This edition of the tournament will be played till June 8th at the TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley, and it will have a total purse of $8,000,000.

While the tournament will feature many big names like Rory McIlroy, there is a major concern looming. The concern in question is that Brandt Snedeker and other big name golfers are all dealing with injury concerns before the RBC Canadian Open can begin on Thursday.

Here is a list of golfers dealing with injury concerns ahead of the 2025 RBC Canadian Open (via Golf Injury Report):

Brandt Snedeker (Back)
Sahith Theegala (Neck)
Michael Thorbjornsen (Wrist)
Aaron Wise (Mental Health)
Alex Noren (Leg)
Seamus Power (Back)
Lee Hodges (Ribs)
Paul Waring (Shoulder)
Charley Hoffman (Back)
Anders Albertson (Back)
Isaiah Salinda (UD)

While there has been no notable withdrawal from the tournament as of this writing, it will be interesting to see if things remain the same until Thursday. Despite the injury scare, Brandt Snedeker is playing at the U.S. Open final qualifying on June 2, regarded as Golf's Longest Day.

The 2025 RBC Canadian Open will be one of the most hyped events this year as it will also feature Rory McIlroy speaking to the media. For those unaware, McIlroy declined to speak to the media after his driver was deemed "non confirming".

However, it's now been confirmed that the Northern Irishman will speak to the media at the RBC Canadian Open, and with this he will look to bury all the criticisms and focus on winning the event against a strong field.
