2024 RBC Canadian Open odds, picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the golf odds to win the 2024 RBC Canadian Open, with PGA Tour picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The PGA Tour is heading north from Texas to Canada for the 2024 RBC Canadian Open this week, which is being hosted by Hamilton Golf and Country Club. The 1st round begins on Thursday morning from Hamilton, Ontario.

Below, we look at BetMGM Sportsbook’s 2024 RBC Canadian Open odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Rory McIlroy leads the field in Ontario as the favorite with +375 odds. Tommy Fleetwood (+1800), Sahith Theegala (+2000) and Alex Noren (+2500) are also in the field, as is defending champion Nick Taylor (+6000), who beat Fleetwood with a long birdie putt in a playoff last year.

After Oakdale Golf and Country Club hosted last year’s tournament, the event heads to Hamilton, which is a short, par-70 course that only stretches 7,084 yards. This is the 7th time the Canadian Open is being held at Hamilton, which last hosted the event in 2019 when McIlroy blew away the field by a whopping 7 shots.

RBC Canadian Open – Expert picks

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Monday at 10:57 a.m. ET.

Rory McIlroy (+375)

McIlroy has won this event twice in 3 starts and finished 9th in his other appearance, so he’s performed extremely well in Canada in the past. He won in 2019 at this course and in 2022 at St. George’s, so it doesn’t matter much the course when it comes to playing the RBC Canadian Open. He’s also notched 2 wins in his last 3 PGA Tour starts and finished 12th at the PGA Championship.

Shane Lowry (+2500)

Lowry finished 2nd to McIlroy here in 2019, albeit 7 shots back of Rory, and he also came in 43rd last year. In 2018, he came in 12th and he also finished 10th in 2022, giving him a very good track record in Canada no matter the venue.

Alex Noren (+2500)

Noren has been as steady as just about anyone in the world over the last several months, finishing no worse than 24th since the beginning of March. His game is firing on all cylinders right now and though his course history is limited (T-63 in 2019), he can contend just about anywhere. It’s just a matter of when he’ll break through and win a tournament.

RBC Canadian Open picks – Contenders

Adam Hadwin (+5000)

Hadwin is Canadian so he’s used to playing courses north of the border. He already has 4 top-10s this season and has played the RBC Canadian Open 12 times, finishing in the top 10 three times – including 2019 when he finished alone in 6th at this same course.

RBC Canadian Open picks – Long shots

Ryan Fox (+8000)

Fox has a pair of top 10s in his last 5 starts and just finished 32nd at the Charles Schwab Challenge last week. This course doesn’t favor bombers or short hitters necessarily, but Fox is plenty long by ranking 26th on tour in driving distance.

Matt Kuchar (+10000)

Kuchar finished 17th last week in Fort Worth and tied for 4th here in 2019 when McIlroy ran away from the entire field. Kuchar is a long shot for a reason with 9 missed cuts already this season, but this is clearly a venue he’s had success at before (6 top-10 finishes in 14 starts).

2023 RBC Canadian Open odds, picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the golf odds to win the 2023 RBC Canadian Open, with PGA Tour picks, predictions and best bets.

With just 1 week to go until the golf world descends upon Los Angeles for the 123rd U.S. Open, many of the top players will tee it up at Oakdale Golf and Country Club for the 2023 RBC Canadian Open. The 1st round begins Thursday morning from Toronto, Ontario.

Below, we look at the 2023 RBC Canadian Open odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Rory McIlroy is looking to defend his back-to-back titles this week after winning by 2 shots over Tony Finau last year, the 2nd time he’s won this event since 2019; it was canceled in 2020 and 2021. Finau is taking the week off, but McIlroy (the favorite at +400) will still face some stiff competition from Tyrrell Hatton (+1100), Matt Fitzpatrick (+1400), Sam Burns (+1400), Cameron Young (+1600) and several others.

This tournament changes venues often, though Glen Abbey Golf Course has hosted it the most. This will be the 1st time Oakdale Golf and Country Club hosts the RBC Canadian Open, giving players a new challenge. So it will be difficult to predict this year’s results based on recent finishes by players in the field. Oakdale is a par 72 and plays at 7,264 yards, featuring small greens and plenty of elevation changes.

RBC Canadian Open – Expert pick(s)

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Monday at 10:30 a.m. ET.

Tommy Fleetwood (+2000)

Before missing the cut at the Charles Schwab Challenge, Fleetwood notched 3 straight top-20 finishes, including a T-5 at the Wells Fargo Championship. He’s among the best ball strikers on tour, ranking 10th in strokes gained: tee to green, which makes him a terrific fit for a course with small greens.

Justin Rose (+1600)

Like his fellow Englishman Fleetwood, Rose is also trending up with 6 straight top-36 finishes and back-to-back top-12s. Though it was a different course, Rose shot 10-under in the final round of last year’s RBC Canadian Open to finish 4th. I love his chances this week at Oakdale.

RBC Canadian Open picks – Contender(s)

Byeong Hun An (+5000)

An finished T-24 at the Memorial Tournament on Sunday, but he hit the ball much better than that number suggests. He ranked 10th in the field in strokes gained: tee to green, primarily struggling on the greens where he lost 0.61 shots to his competitors. He now has 3 straight top-25 finishes and could keep that up this week in Canada.

Matt Kuchar (+4000)

There were a lot of high scores at Muirfield last week, including a 79 and 84 by Kuchar on Thursday and Sunday, respectively. In-between, he shot impressive rounds of 67 and 69, going into the final round at 1-under par before shooting 12-over. He has 7 top-25 finishes already this season.

RBC Canadian Open picks – Long shot(s)

Ludvig Aberg (+8000)

Could Aberg follow Rose Zhang’s path and win his 1st career start as a pro? Don’t rule it out, especially considering this isn’t his 1st PGA Tour event. Earlier this year, he tied for 24th at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and also made the cut at the Valspar Championship where he finished T-61. He’ll probably feel some pressure in his pro debut, but Aberg has a ton of talent.

David Lipsky (+8000)

Lipsky was in contention at the Memorial before shooting 5-over on Sunday to finish T-12. He didn’t have any major weaknesses in his game, gaining strokes in all the major categories, led by his 1.24 SG: tee to green. He just made a few too many mistakes on Sunday, but I like his odds to bounce back after also finishing T-16 the week prior.
