It’s going to be a pretty interesting week in the world of golf, and plenty eyes will fall upon the RBC Canadian Open, one of the best loved events on the PGA Tour.

Despite a few PGA Tour regulars playing in London this weekend, it’s an exceptionally strong field for an event that used to be known as the fifth major. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will tee it up, as well as defending champion Rory McIlroy. They’ll be joined by the likes of Justin Thomas, Cameron Smith and Sam Burns.

This is the first time the event has been held since 2019, and it’s the first time the venue, St George’s, has hosted it since 2010. Back then, Carl Petterson shot a third round 60 to fly into contention and eventually lift the trophy.

Alongside the tournament itself, there’s also the small matter of the Open Qualifying series. There are two spots up for grabs this week, that will go to the top two players not already exempt, if they finish in the top eight and ties.

Let’s take a closer look at all the details ahead of play getting underway…

The bunkered Bet: 

Tyrrell Hatton: The fiery Englishman might not be everyone’s favourite player, but he’s on a pretty impressive run of made cuts. His last outing was a tie for 13th at the US Open, so expect him to be back in contention this week.
