Rory McIlroy is playing the Canadian Open for the first time.
Fresh off his Players Championship victory last week, RBC and Golf Canada announced Thursday that McIlroy will play in this year’s RBC Canadian Open, June 3-9 at Hamilton Golf and Country Club.
Adding the Ulsterman to the field is the biggest pre-tournament splash the event could make – in the non-Tiger Woods division. It’s also been a pretty good first run for Bryan Crawford, who was installed as tournament director last July. Crawford tells Sportsnet McIlroy was someone tournament organizers targeted early on.
