RBC Canadian Open Field: List of golfers participating at Hamilton Golf Club ft. Rory McIlroy

The 2024 RBC Canadian Open is set to be played at Hamilton Golf and Country Club in Hamilton, Ontario from May 30 to June 2. The $9.4 million tournament's field list has been announced and features some of the best golfers.

Two-time tournament winner Rory McIlroy has committed to playing in the 2024 edition of the event. McIlroy won his first title in 2019 and followed it up with another win in 2022 at St. George's Golf and Country Club.

Nick Taylor will return to the RBC Canadian Open to defend his title after his incredible win last year. His win in 2023 made him the first Canadian player to win the tournament in 69 years. Taylor entered into a sudden-death playoff with Tommy Fleetwood and reigned supreme after the fourth playoff hole where he sank a 72-foot putt for an eagle to claim the title.

The tournament will feature 12 Major championship winners including four-time Major winner Rory McIlroy. Five past winners and 25 players of Canadian origin will be making an appearance at Hamilton Golf and Country Club along with the top four players from the final 2024 RBC Canadian Open qualifier at TPC Toronto on May 27.

Her favorite golfers are Nelly Korda and Tiger Woods, both for their playing style as well as their mental strength. Much of her time away from work is spent playing golf, but she also enjoys spending time with her family and friends, and learning new hobbies or upskilling.
