2023 RBC Canadian Open odds, picks, field: PGA predictions, best bets from model that nailed nine majors

The Canadian-born golfers in the 2023 RBC Canadian Open field will be trying to win the event for the first time since Karl Keffer in 1914. For the first time in PGA Tour history, three Canadians come into the week with a win already this season. Corey Conners, Adam Svensson and Mackenzie Hughes headline the large contingent of Canadians trying to win their home tournament. However, Rory McIlroy is the 9-2 favorite in the 2023 RBC Canadian Open odds at Caesars Sportsbook, while Tyrrell Hatton (12-1) and Sam Burns (14-1) are two of the other top RBC Canadian Open 2023 contenders. 

Conners (20-1), Svensson (55-1) and Hughes (75-1) are all longshots in the 2023 RBC Canadian Open field. Should you back any of them with your RBC Canadian Open bets? Before locking in your 2023 RBC Canadian Open picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, the model is up over $8,300 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

McClure's model predicted Jon Rahm would finish on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express. And at the 2023 Masters, the model was all over Rahm's second career major victory heading into the weekend. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the third round, but the model still projected him as the winner. It was the second straight Masters win for the model, which also nailed Scottie Scheffler winning in 2022.

In addition, the model included Nick Hardy and Davis Riley in its best bets to win the 2023 Zurich Classic. That bet hit at +4500, and for the entire tournament, McClure's best bets returned over $1,100. McClure's best bets also included Jason Day (17-1) winning outright at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson, even though he hadn't won a PGA Tour event since 2018.

This same model has also nailed a whopping nine majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.

Now that the 2023 RBC Canadian Open field is set, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.

Top 2023 RBC Canadian Open predictions 

One major surprise the model is calling for at the RBC Canadian Open 2023: Sam Burns, a five-time PGA Tour champion and one of the favorites at 14-1, stumbles this week and doesn't even crack the top five. Burns has struggled with consistency at times this season, missing the cut in four tournaments. He missed the cut in back-to-back tournaments last month at the Wells Fargo Championship and PGA Championship before finishing T-6 at the Charles Schwab Challenge. 

Burns ranks outside the top 150 on the PGA Tour in strokes gained: approach the green (-0.312) and is outside the top 100 in driving accuracy (57.62%). His inconsistency in those areas have led to his four missed cuts and limited him to one victory this season. The model has him finishing outside the top five this weekend, making him a golfer to avoid with 2023 RBC Canadian Open bets.

Another surprise, Corey Conners, a 20-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he's a target for anyone who is looking for a big payday. Conners is the top golfer in the FedEx Cup rankings and the Official World Golf Ranking amongst Canadians. 

He shot a final-round 8-under par to earn the Rivermead Cup as low Canadian at this tournament last year, finishing in sixth place. Conners already has one win under his belt this season, taking home the title at the Valero Texas Open in April. He has added a pair of top-15 finishes since then, making him a strong betting option as a longshot at his home tournament. See who else to pick here.
