Can Rory McIlroy win the 2024 RBC Canadian Open? Golfer’s odds explored

Rory McIlroy is the outright favorite to win 2024 RBC Canadian Open, which tees off on Thursday, May 30 at the Hamilton Golf and Country Club. The event will have a 156-player field, including 12 of the top 50 OWGR-ranked players, competing for the $9.4 million prize purse

McIlroy, who recently got pushed down to World No. 3 from No. 2 by PGA Championship winner Xander Schauffele, is the top-ranked player in the 2024 RBC Canadian Open field. Schauffele and No. 1 Scottie Scheffler chose to skip the competition, which has made the 35-year-old Irishman the default popular pick.

According to SportsLine, Rory McIlroy comes into the Canada event with +330 odds. The Northern Irishman is followed by Tommy Fleetwood with +1800, giving him a big lead.

Rory McIlroy arrives at the RBC Canadian Open following a T12 finish at the PGA Championship. The Irishman won the Zurich Classic in New Orleans and the Wells Fargo Championship back-to-back before the major outing. The ace golfer registered his 26th win on the PGA Tour three weeks ago.

It's pertinent to note that McIlroy has won the RBC Canadian Open twice in 2019 and 2022. Notably, he finished T9 in the competition last year, while Canadian Nick Taylor won the big prize. For the unversed, the Irish golfer filed for a divorce from his wife Erica Stoll earlier this month.
