This week’s RBC Canadian Open, which begins on June 5 at the TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley, has a strong field based on the number of money leaders entered — especially with a major championship on deck.
In the final event before the U.S. Open June 12-15 at the Oakmont (Pa.) Country Club, 10 of the top-30 money leaders are playing, led by No. 2 Rory McIlroy.

Fifteen of the top 50 will play at the North Course and 29 of the top 100.
Rory McIlroy (right) and Shane Lowry (left), who have been partners in the last two Zurich Classic team events, are among the top players on the PGA Tour money list in the field for this week’s RBC Canadian Open.
Joining McIlroy from the top 10 are No., 9 Ludvig Åberg and No. 10 Shane Lowry.
Top-20 players in the field are native Canadians Nick Taylor (the 2023 RBC Canadian Open winner) and Corey Conners, Justin Rose and Sungjae Im.
McIlroy, who led the Tour in earnings from the week after The Players Championship until Scottie Scheffler won last week’s Memorial, trails Scheffler by $580,357. He can regain the lead with a finish of solo third or better ($676,200).
None of the other players in the field can catch Scheffler. If Aberg wins, he can rise as high as fifth.
