Established in 1904, the RBC Canadian Open is the second-oldest non-major tournament on the PGA Tour. This week it will be played at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley's North Course, becoming the 38th golf course in tournament history — and only the eighth since 1977 — to host the championship. The field will include 21 Canadians, seven of whom have won on the PGA Tour — Mike Weir (8), Nick Taylor (5), Corey Conners (2), Mackenzie Hughes (2), Adam Hadwin, Taylor Pendrith and Adam Svensson.
