It’s going to be an epic Sunday at the RBC Canadian Open, where three of the PGA Tour’s biggest stars, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Tony Finau — are set to duke it out for a national title.
For McIlroy, the victory would be quite a defense. He won the Canadian Open in 2019, and since the last two editions were cancelled due to Covid, his back-to-back titles would span three years.
Thomas is seeking his 16th career Tour victory — and this only weeks after claiming his second major championship at the PGA in May.
For Finau, a win on Sunday would mark the third of his career. The momentum appears to be on his side, after posting a sizzling round of 62 on Saturday.
And while he’s not playing in the final grouping, let’s not forget about Sam Burns — arguably the hottest player in the game at the moment. He’s two shots back and looking to notch his fifth career victory and fourth (!) of the season.
Regardless of how things pan out on Sunday, one thing’s for sure: These players are in prime form for yet another national championship at next week’s U.S. Open at The Country Club.
But first, here’s everything you need to know about the money up for grabs in Canada, including the winner’s share, for the 2022 RBC Canadian Open’s $8.7 million purse.
