RBC Canadian Open 2025 power rankings: Rory McIlroy back on top in Scottie Scheffler’s absence?

The RBC Canadian Open 2025 is set to tee off on Thursday, June 5, at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley's North Course in Caledon, Ontario. The national open, which also acts as a last-minute US Open prep for several golfers, boasts a stacked field, headlined by World No.2 and Rory McIlroy.

Unsurprisingly, the reigning Masters champion, who completed his career Grand Slam with the Green Jacket last month, is the outright favorite to win the Canadian Open. According to the PGA Tour, the ace golfer leads the power rankings by a large margin, beating the likes of World No. 6 Ludvig Aberg and No. 12 Shane Lowry. Returning to the playing field after a break following his T47 PGA Championship finish, the 35-year-old will be eyeing a big comeback in Ontario.

The two-time RBC Canadian Open winner is followed by his longtime friend and playing partner, Lowry, on the PGA Tour’s power rankings. The Irishman has recorded four top 10s and eight top 20s this season, making him an automatic front-runner for the weekend. Despite missing the cut at the PGA Championship, the Irishman is deemed a solid pick to make a comeback performance in Canada.

Local heroes Taylor Pendrith and Corey Conners follow the top two on the power rankings. While Pendrith enters with a T5 at the PGA Championship and a T12 at Memorial, Conners comes in on the back of T19 and T25 finishes, respectively. However, the latter sits ninth in the FedExCup with five top 10s among 10 top 25s, making him a dark horse for the weekend contest.

Robert MacIntyre sits 10th on the power rankings list. The Scottish lefty managed T6-T20 at Colonial and Muirfield Village and will be looking for a shock title defense on Sunday. Interestingly, PGA Championship runner-up Davis Riley sits 15th on the power rankings list made by the PGA Tour. Sahith Theegala sits among the longshot favorites with 800-1 odds.
