McIlroy to play in RBC Canadian Open. BobWeeksTSN has MORE:
The 15-time PGA Tour winner, who last week added the Players Championship to his list of victories, will tee it up in the RBC Canadian Open this June. It marks the first time McIlroy has played a professional event in this country.
“I‘m really excited to play in my first RBC Canadian Open,” said McIlroy in a press release. “There continues to be a lot of momentum around this historic tournament, with a new date, new location and now a new concert series. I’ve had the opportunity to see the passion that Canada has for our sport and I look forward to seeing the energy of Canadian golf fans first hand. I’m also looking forward to squaring off with DJ, Adam and the rest of Team RBC for Canada’s National Open Championship.
He also recently stated that he wanted to play the week prior to all four major championships to keep his game sharp. The RBC Canadian Open will be held the week before the U.S. Open. It was hoped the new date would make it more attractive to golfers and McIlroy’s confirmation is the first indication that may be working.
