2019 RBC Canadian Open tee times, viewer's guide

The PGA Tour heads to Canada this week for the RBC Canadian Open, the third-oldest running tournament on the PGA Tour behind only the Open Championship and the U.S. Open. For the first time since 2012, the event will return to Hamilton Golf and Country Club, which has hosted five previous Canadian Opens.

This year's field is one of the strongest in recent memory for the event, with a host of top-ranked players looking to get in one final tune-up before next week's U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. Leading the way is Brooks Koepka, who will be making his first start since winning his fourth major in his last eight tries at the PGA Championship at Bethpage Black. This will be his third appearance at the RBC Canadian Open, where he's tied for 18th (2015) and missed the cut (2018) in his two previous starts. He'll play in one of the featured groups on Thursday and Friday alongside Brandt Snedeker and Justin Thomas, who made his first start since coming off a wrist injury last week at the Memorial, where he missed the cut.

Also in the field is defending champion Dustin Johnson, who is now the No. 2 ranked player in the world after Koepka took the top spot at Bethpage Black. He's in search of a 21st career victory, his most recent coming at the WGC-Mexico Championship at the end of February. Johnson is paired with Jim Furyk and Canada's Corey Conners in the opening two rounds.

Rory McIlroy, Sergio Garcia, Bubba Watson and Henrik Stenson will tee it up this week as well.
