The PGA Tour moved to the neighboring country for a classic showdown at Hamilton Golf and Country Club. The RBC Canadian Open started with 156 players. However, now only 69 players remain and only one will win on June 3, 2024. How much money will he take home from Hamilton?
It is worth noting that the PGA Tour increased the prize money for the Royal Bank of Canada Open by $400,000 from last year. In 2023, Nick Taylor received $1.62 million from a $9 million purse. But this year, the champion will receive $1.692 million from an expanded purse of $9.4 million.
In addition, the champion will receive 500 FedEx Cup points and 43.79569 World Golf Ranking points. In comparison, the RBC Canadian Open offers a purse of nearly $7 million more to the 69-player field than the DP World Tour European Open (which offers a $2.5 million purse).

Last year, the RBC Canadian Open was a treat for golf fans, especially native Canadians. After 69 years, Canadian pro Nick Taylor won the PGA Tour National Open Championship. It was truly an amazing feat. This year, another hometown favorite is also eyeing the silver medal, but Robert MacIntyre may be standing in his way.
Canada vs. Scotland: Who will win the RBC Canadian Open?
It was a first for Robert McIntyre, who held the 54-hole lead at the RBC Open. The Auburn native honed his game, with his father as he tried to become the best golfer at Hamilton Golf Club. After the third day of play, McIntyre was at 14-under 196, putting him in contention for the first time in his PGA Tour career.

Four shots behind is crowd favorite Mackenzie Hughes. The pro is tied for second after three rounds and is 10 under 200. Despite the four-shot gap, Hughes is looking to beat McIntyre on Sunday, however difficult it may be. He shared his plans for Sunday, saying: “My game plan isn’t going to change, I’m just going to try to get as much attention as possible, get the putter hot, get the crowd hot early and see if I can make an impact.”

On the other hand, Hughes' biggest rival at the Canadian Open, Bob, is also optimistic that he will take over the crowd support. McIntyre understands that Canadian fans will cheer for Hughes' victory. But he said he will “I’ll do my best and hopefully get the crowd cheering for our good shots and see what we can accomplish in the end.”
Who will come out on top? Robert MacIntyre, who wins his first PGA Tour title, or will the crowds welcome back-to-back Canadian champions at the RBC Canadian Open?
