Inside the Field: RBC Canadian Open

Robert MacIntyre’s winning highlights from RBC Canadian
Written by Staff, PGATOUR.COM
The PGA TOUR heads to the Great White North for the RBC Canadian Open. Two-time tournament champion and world No. 2 Rory McIlroy will be teeing it up from TPC Toronto. Defending champion Robert MacIntyre is also in the field, as well as 2023 champion Nick Taylor, who became the first Canadian to win his national open in 69 years when he defeated Tommy Fleetwood in a playoff.
The PGA TOUR uses a standardized system for determining event fields, based on the current season’s Priority Ranking while also including additional exemption and qualifying categories.
Field sizes can vary by event, as can the number of event-specific exemptions. Fully exempt PGA TOUR members are guaranteed entry into all Full-Field Events, with various conditional categories subject to periodic reshuffles based upon FedExCup Points accrued throughout the season. Categories with "reshuffle" notation indicate that a reshuffle period has occurred.
Note: An additional year of eligibility was granted to some categories because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
