Can Rory McIlroy resume his winning ways at RBC Canadian Open 2025?

The latest edition of the RBC Canadian Open will commence at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley's North Course in Caledon, Ontario, on Thursday, June 5. The event, falling a week ahead of the US Open, will feature a stacked field headlined by World No.2 Rory McIlroy. Unsurprisingly, he is also the outright favorite to clinch the winner’s paycheck from the national open’s $9,800,000 purse.

McIlroy comes into the TPC Toronto competition with 45-1 odds, as per SportsLine. The five-time major champion, who ended his major drought and clinched the career Grand Slam at the Masters last month, is favored to get back to winning ways this weekend.

It is pertinent to note that McIlroy has won the Canadian Open twice before in 2019 and 2022. However, he could only manage a T4 finish last year. He’ll be looking for a better result this time.

For the unversed, McIlroy comes into the Canadian Open weekend on the back of a forgettable T47 finish at the PGA Championship. He sat out a few weeks after the major, including the Signature Event Memorial Tournament. This came after the Northern Irishman had a stellar start to the year.

Having teed off the 2025 PGA Tour season with an AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am win, the TGL co-founder went on to win two more events, including The Players Championship and the Masters. He has so far finished inside the top 20 in seven out of the eight events he has contested this year. McIlroy will be looking to bring back his winning form in Canada, with the long-awaited Grand Slam in the records.
