These players are joined by fellow Europeans Nicolai Højgaard, Alex Noren, and Kristoffer Reitan, all of whom are confirmed for the 115th playing of the championship.
Brooks Koepka is making his first appearance at the Canadian national open since 2019, adding further depth to a roster that includes recent major winners Wyndham Clark and Collin Morikawa.
Morikawa is set to make his first start since the PGA Championship after missing the Memorial Tournament to be with his wife for the birth of their first child. The American challenge is bolstered by Sam Burns and J.T. Poston as the field prepares for the 7,389-yard test.
Canadian depth led by Taylor and home favorites
While global stars have descended on Ontario, a comprehensive list of Canadian players will lead the local charge. The home crowd will focus on 2023 champion Nick Taylor and fellow PGA Tour winners Corey Conners, Taylor Pendrith, and Mackenzie Hughes.
They are joined by Adam Hadwin, Adam Svensson, Ben Silverman, and veteran Mike Weir, who is remarkably making his 33rd start in his national open. Weir remains a beloved figure in Canadian sport for his 2003 Masters triumph.
The Canadian roster also features younger talents such as Sudarshan Yellamaraju, A.J. Ewart, and Michael Thorbjornsen. For these players, the 2026 RBC Canadian Open is a chance to secure a career-defining win on home soil. Much like how Mountaineers secure victory through collective effort, the deep Canadian presence ensures local fans have numerous contenders to follow through the final round on June 14.
Championship logistics and FedExCup implications

The event is strategically placed one week before the U.S.
Open, allowing the elite field to sharpen their games before traveling to New York.
As the 115th edition of the tournament unfolds, the focus remains on the $9.8 million purse and the historical prestige of the event. Beyond the financial rewards, the 500 FedExCup points are vital as the summer season intensifies.
Whether a European star maintains their 2026 momentum or a Canadian hero repeats Nick Taylor’s 2023 heroics, the North Course is prepared to crown the next champion of Canada’s oldest professional golf tournament.
