Canadian Open betting preview

All eyes are on the golfing world again this weekend after the announcement that the PGA Tour and LIV Golf would merge.

In a dramatic twist looking at ending the year-long feud in men's professional golf, this move is looking to ensure the future of the game is less turbulent than the past 12 months.

Onto this tournament, and as mentioned above, McIlroy is very much the one to beat this weekend in Toronto.

The Northern Irishman won this in 2019 and last year at St George's in Toronto - with the two-year break due to Covid.

The PGA / Liv feud was stoked by the face of the Saudi-backed breakaway, Phil Mickelson, who believed McIlroy would've benefitted from the format due to being 'worn out'.

But this is a competition that McIlroy has thrived in and will hope to continue the form he showed in the first three rounds of the Memorial Tournament last weekend before tailing off on Sunday.

It's tight in behind him in the betting with fellow Brit Tyrrell Hatton in at second favorite, ahead of Sam Burns, Matt Fitzpatrick and Cameron Young.

Justin Rose finished T-9 in the PGA Championship and T-12 at the Charles Schwab showing a return to some sort of form for him and he'll be feared here.

What is the best site to bet on the RBC Canadian Open?

There are a lot of good sites that offer plenty of betting opportunities on the Canadian Open.

It's well worth your while to shop around for the best odds on offer, particularly with different place offerings and a huge selection of bets that aren't just on the overall winner.

What bets can I place on the RBC Canadian Open?

As mentioned right above, it's not solely just the outright winner that you can bet on for this tournament.

BetMGM allows you to back the tournament winner, or whether they will finish in the top 5, 10, 20 or 40 at gradually, lower odds.

You can also select who you think will be leading the tournament after Thursday's first round at much, much bigger odds.

There's also the chance to back players to make the cut as well as win in virtual groups, where BetMGM have put players into fictional groups and you select who will come out on top.

While DraftKings allow you to pick who will be the leading player from their continent (i.e top European, Rory McIlroy).

If you think the first round leader will also go on to win the entire tournament, you can select a player for much bigger returns.

And there's the option of selecting your golfer to make a hole in one across the four days at monster odds, too.
