Tee It Up-RBC Canadian Open

Tee It Up-RBC Canadian Open

This week we Tee It Up-RBC Canadian Open. The PGA Tour heads north of the border to Canada for the RBC Canadian Open at Hamilton Golf & Country Club. Starting this year the event is held the week prior to the 3rd major, the U.S. Open. The first Canadian Open Championship was held in 1904 at The Royal Montreal Golf Club, founded in 1873. The last Canadian to win the event was in 1914, Karl Keffer. Early on the event was considered golfs 5th major but in 1988 it was moved to an undesirable tour date in September. The top three golfers on the PGA Tour Canada Order of Merit prior to the tournament are given entry into the Canadian Open. However, prize money won at the Canadian Open does not count towards the Canadian Tour money list.
