2023 RBC Canadian Open tee times, TV coverage, viewer's guide

Oh, yeah … there’s a golf tournament going on this week.

As the golf world asborbs news of the surprise deal between the PGA Tour, LIV Golf and the DP World Tour, Oakdale Country Club readies to hold the RBC Canadian Open. This year's event is set to feature Rory McIlroy, who attempts to win for the third straight time, along with plenty of stupefied tour pros looking to take him down.

At least 20 Canadians will tee off in the tournament outside of Toronto with Corey Conners leading the pack. The Listowel, Ontario native was the low Canadian in last year’s tournament with a sixth-place finish. It won’t be all Canada, of course, as along with McIlroy and Conners, we’re set to see top-30 pros like Matt Fitzpatrick, Sam Burns, Cameron Young, Tyrrell Hatton, Tommy Fleetwood, Shane Lowry, Sahith Theegala and Justin Rose in the field.

After a stellar college career and a run as the No. 1 player in the 2023 PGA Tour University ranking, Ludvig Aberg will make his pro debut at Oakdale this week after becoming the first golfer to earn a full PGA Tour card through this new route. The Texas Tech standout had won the Jack Nicklaus Award, the Fred Haskins Award, and his second-straight Ben Hogan Award to close out the 2022-23 college season.

The winner in Canada will receive 500 FedEx Cup points and a $1.62 million share of the $9 million purse.
