Who replaced the outgoing Sahith Theegala at RBC Canadian Open 2025? Final field changes explored 

The RBC Canadian Open 2025 will begin on Thursday, June 5 at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley's North Course in Caledon, Ontario. The national open, which falls a week ahead of the US Open, has taken a blow to its field as three more PGA Tour pros withdrew on Tuesday including World No.39 Sahith Theegala. Cameron Champ has now come in to replace him.

According to the PGA Tour Communications Twitter account, Theegala has confirmed his exit from the contest with just hours to start. This continues the 27-year-old golfer’s tough stretch on the circuit.

For the unversed, the RBC ambassador withdrew from the Truist Championship in early May due to a neck injury. His worries continued as he pulled out of the PGA Championship after arriving early at Quail Hollow Club. Alex Smalley had stepped in to take his place at the major championship.

Theegala made a comeback at the Memorial Tournament in last May. However, he failed to make the cut after carding a 74 and 77 in the first two rounds. Now, he has once again pulled out of an event with just days to start.

According to the PGA Tour, Cameron Champ has taken Theegala’s spot as an alternate. The 29-year-old, who last appeared on the circuit at the Myrtle Beach Classic, will now tee up at TPC Toronto. Coming off the back of a missed cut at his last Tour event, the Korn Ferry regular will be eyeing a big result this weekend.
