2023 RBC Canadian Open field: Who is playing alongside defending champion Rory McIlroy at Oakdale?

Two-time defending champion Rory McIlroy has confirmed his return to the RBC Canadian Open next week. The Northern Irishman, who has been dominating the event since 2019, will join some of the PGA Tour’s biggest names at the Oakdale Golf and Country Club in Toronto, Ontario.

The RBC Canadian Open is set to tee off on June 8. The four-day event will see a 120-player field compete for the $9 million prize purse on offer. Falling just a week ahead of the third major championship of the year, the U.S. Open, many golfers will be looking to make a mark at the Canadian outing.

It’ll be interesting to see how the 2023 RBC Canadian Open's final leaderboard shapes up with the likes of McIlroy, Matt Fitzpatrick, Shane Lowry and Webb Simpson, among others, on it.
