2023 RBC Canadian Open: Prize Purse and Payouts by Position
Breaking down this week’s RBC Canadian Open Purse, Prize money, and Payouts by position at Oakdale Golf & Country Club.
Despite its unfortunate slot on the golfing calendar, sandwiched in between last week’s elevated Memorial Tournament and the upcoming 123rd U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club, the 2023 RBC Canadian Open hasn’t failed to deliver exciting action this week from Toronto.
As has become the norm at one of the sport’s most historic events, the Canadian Open and its raucous and passionate fans have put on quite the show, this despite the event’s awkward spot on the schedule and its ‘non-elevated’ status in 2023.
The 9 million dollar purse for this year’s RBC Canadian Open along with the 1.62 million dished out to its winner is amongst the higher end of purses paid out to fields in non-elevated events this year.
With Rory McIlroy on the hunt for a Canadian Open three-peat and a tightly congested leaderboard heading into Sunday’s final round of this year’s RBC Canadian Open, the nation’s premier golfing event is perfectly positioned to deliver another exciting finish.
2020 Olympic Bronze Medalist, C.T. Pan, sits atop the leaderboard after three rounds of action at Oakdale. Pan (-14) made his return to action in April at the RBC Heritage following a lengthy absence from the sport due to a wrist injury.
The 31-year-old out of Taiwan who earned his first PGA Tour win at the 2019 RBC Heritage will look to close out PGA win number two on Sunday following rounds of 70, 66, and 66 across his first three days this week in Canada.
The quest for a second career win on tour won’t come easy for Pan, however, with several big names including Rory McIlroy lurking in his rearview mirror. Rory (-12) alongside both Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose sit just two shots back of C.T. Pan heading into the final round of action.
As for Canadian hope, both Nick Taylor (-11) and Corey Conners (-10) are well-positioned to make a run at the leader heading into Sunday, with the former having produced a blistering round of 63 on moving day that sent him flying up the leaderboard and in with a chance of earning his third career win on the PGA Tour.
Will a Canadian emerge victorious at his nation’s national open for the first time since 1954? That remains to be seen. Whoever does lift the historic trophy on Sunday evening, however, will pocket a cool 1.62 million dollars for their efforts. Here is this year’s complete prize breakdown by position for the RBC Canadian Open.
