RBC Canadian Open

Nick Taylor can't believe he just became a national hero, but he'll take it

Minas Panagiotakis

A week that started with tumult and uncertainty ended with jubilation and relief as Nick Taylor ended one of the longest droughts in golf, sending an entire golf nation into a frenzy. The 35-year-old held off an assortment of pursuers in regulation Sunday, then topped Tommy Fleetwood on the fourth hole of a playoff by draining a 72-foot putt for eagle at Oakdale Golf & Country Club, becoming the first Canadian to win the RBC Canadian Open in 69 years.

It was the longest putt Taylor has made in his nine-year PGA Tour career , creating one of the most memorable moments in Canadian sports history.

“For that to go in is unbelievable,” an emotional Taylor said immediately after, with the home gallery still in hysterics. “I don’t know what to say.”

On Tuesday, news unexpectedly broke that the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund had announced intentions to create a new for-profit venture , a surprising turn of events after tour commissioner Jay Monahan had vowed for more than a year that the tour wouldn’t do business with the group that had pilfered some of its biggest names to help create the LIV Golf League.

On Sunday, Taylor was holding the RBC Canadian Open hardware just outside Toronto, after capturing his third tour title, with the adoring fans serenading the new champion. Canadian PGA Tour pros Corey Conners, Adam Hadwin and Mike Weir waited anxiously with the masses, hanging on every moment during the four playoff holes. They were not going to miss history.

“This is for all the guys who are here, this is for my family at home,” Taylor said. “This is the most incredible feeling ever.”

The drama capped a crazy four days for the British Columbia native. Taylor shot 75 on Thursday and was tied for 120th place. Rounds of 67-63 got him into contention on Sunday, where he actually held a three-shot lead for a moment in the middle of the round. But Fleetwood, Tyrrell Hatton, Aaron Rai and C.T. Pan, among others began making birdies, and it was clear that Taylor was not going to run away with his national open.

After a bogey on the 16th hole, Taylor birdied the last two holes to top Hatton by one for the clubhouse lead at 17 under, making a 12-footer on the final hole. But Fleetwood, a European Ryder Cup stalwart searching for his first PGA Tour victory in 119 starts, stormed back and birdied Nos. 16 and 17 to tie Taylor. Fleetwood played a nervy 18th hole in regulation and made par, sending the tournament into a playoff.

Of course, the playoff turned downright nutty. It started raining and continued the entire time.

Both men were short right of the green in two shots on 18 the first time but both got up and down for birdie, Taylor with a chip shot to five feet and Fleetwood by draining a 20-footer. The second time both men, again playing the 18th hole, made par after nervy approach shots. Then they marched to the par-3 ninth hole and hit tee shots to similar distances, around 15 feet, but both two putted for par.

Finally, on the fourth playoff hole, back on the par-5 18th, Fleetwood faced 12 feet for birdie and Taylor was 72 feet away for eagle, having reached the green in two. With the whole country holding its collective breaths, Taylor made the putt for eagle, sending the adoring gallery, Taylor and his caddie Dave Markle, into a celebration that’ll likely last well into the Canadian night.

“It’s huge for our game,” Weir said.

With victory on Sunday, Taylor is the first Canadian to win the national Open since Pat Fletcher in 1954.

Pat Fletcher was the last Canadian to win the Canadian Open, doing so in 1954. Since records began being kept in earnest in 1983, only one player has been T-120 or worse in a PGA Tour event after the first round and gone on to win—Ian Poulter at the 2018 Houston Open. He opened with 73 then shot 64-65-67 and topped Beau Hossler in a playoff.

"It was the most incredible atmosphere I've ever been a part of and it's not even close," Taylor said. "I think even walking the first tee today, walking to the first green, there's ovations on every single tee and green. When Tommy would miss and they would cheer I kind of felt bad for him. But I knew just how pumped they were and they were trying to put every ounce of energy into it to help me pull it through.

"I blacked out when that ball went [on the fourth playoff hole] with Dave. So I'm curious to watch what we did. I don't even remember what we did. But that was an incredible moment."

Historical significance aside, the victory was just another piece of a golf résumé that continues to impress. Taylor won both the Canadian Junior (2006) and Canadian Amateur (2007) in consecutive years as a youth and was a standout in college at the University of Washington, being named Player of the Year twice in what was then called the Pac-10 Conference. He was a three-time All-American and won the Ben Hogan Award in 2010 as college golf's best player.

As a professional, the Canadian Open win is his third on tour, following the Sanderson Farms Championship in 2014 and the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in 2020. He's the fourth Canadian to win on the PGA Tour this year, following Mackenzie Hughes, Adam Svensson and Conners and he's up to a career-high 44th in the Official World Golf Ranking. He had missed his previous two cuts.

For Fleetwood, he’ll continue searching for that first tour title after yet another near miss. After opening with consecutive rounds of 70, a third-round 64 vaulted the Englishman directly into contention. The final-round 67 was good enough to get into the playoff this time, but he may have a couple sleepless nights thinking about how lackluster he played the 18th hole in regulation.

All Tommy Fleetwood could do was smile after Nick Taylor's dramatic putt dropped, leaving the Englishman still in search of his first career PGA Tour title.

Vaughn Ridley

“Nice moment for Nick and the fans here,” said Fleetwood, with Hatton, Justin Rose and Shane Lowry watching the playoff to show support. “It’s great to be a part of that Sunday and that playoff. I had my chances, really. It wasn’t to be this time.”

Hatton birdied the last four holes to shoot an eight-under 64, which included a double bogey on the eighth hole. He was a shot out of the playoff. Rai (67) and Pan (70) were tied for third place with Hatton. Eric Cole made nine birdies to shoot 63 and jumped 18 positions on the leaderboard to tie for sixth place with Mark Hubbard.

It was another Sunday disappointment for Rory McIlroy. The World No. 3 entered the final round two shots off the lead and with a chance to win for the second consecutive week. Last week at the Memorial Tournament he shot a final-round 75 to tumble from contention. In Canada, he made consecutive bogeys on Nos. 5 and 6 to quickly drop out of contention again and ultimately shot 72 to tie for ninth place.

McIlroy was the two-time defending champion in Canada and a victory by him would've been significant for the game heading into the U.S. Open next week at Los Angeles Country Club. But it's difficult to be disappointed with the way this prestigious tournament ended. A golf-crazed nation was rewarded with the victory that it had so desperately wanted for seven decades.

And Nick Taylor will never have to buy a beer in his beloved Canada ever again.

RBC Canadian Open Purse And Prize Money

2022 RBC Canadian Open Prize Money

The RBC Canadian Open returns to the PGA Tour schedule for the first time since 2019 after Covid-related restrictions thwarted plans to stage it in 2020 and 2021.

Three years ago, Rory McIlroy shot 61 as he cruised to victory, finishing seven shots ahead of runners-up Shane Lowry and Webb Simpson to claim the $1.36m first prize from a purse of $7.6m. The Northern Irishman will be back to defend his title this year as part of a strong field including World No.1 Scottie Scheffler , PGA Champion Justin Thomas , Players Champion Cameron Smith and Sam Burns, who has two PGA Tour wins in 2022 so far, including the recent Charles Schwab Challenge .

McIlroy’s win in 2019 came at Hamilton, but if he’s to successfully defend his title, he’ll have to do it at a different venue – St George’s. The course first hosted the Canadian Open in 1933, but it’s only been the venue for the tournament a handful of times, most recently in 2010. That’s largely thanks to the tricky logistics of its location in a densely populated neighbourhood of Toronto.

Not that you’d know the course was so close to city life once you’re on it. Undulating greens and picturesque, winding fairways abound. Meanwhile, highlighting its rare beauty, the course also has sanctuary status, having been designated as a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary in 2010.

Whoever wins the tournament will have to reckon with four of the toughest finishing holes they'll find anywhere. The long 15th features a hilltop green. Next, the par 3 16th has rear bunkers at the back of the green, meaning accuracy is crucial. The par 4 17th has a narrow green and bunkers to challenge any level of golfer. Finally, the 18th par 4 is uphill all the way, with a sloping green surrounded by bunkers against the backdrop of the stately and historic clubhouse. 

As well as the memorable venue and strong field, there is also a sizeable tournament purse, with the overall prize money increasing to $8.7m. The player who wins the tournament will earn $1.56m. Usually the PGA Tour would offer the largest prize money of the week by some way but not this week. That's because of the opening LIV Golf Invitational Series tournament taking place at London's Centurion Club at the same time, with a huge $25m prize money up for grabs .

The full tournament prize money breakdown is below.

Where Is The RBC Canadian Open This Year?

The  Canadian Open will be held at St George's in Toronto. The course previously held the tournament five times between 1933 and 2010. St George's has also hosted five Canadian Women’s Opens and was the venue for the golf tournament in the 2017 Invictus Games. 

How Much Is The Purse For The 2022 RBC Canadian Open?

The purse for the 2022 RBC Canadian Open is $8.7m. That is an increase of $1.6m from the last time the tournament was held, in 2019. Covid-related restrictions meant the tournament was cancelled in  2020 and 2021.

What are the prize money payouts for the 38 tournaments on the 2024 pga tour schedule, share this article.

There are 38 events on the PGA Tour’s 2024 schedule, with 37 of them doling out $ 398,900,000 in prize money payouts.

The Tour Championship provides the biggest paydays to the lucky 30 who reach the season finale, but all of the money distributed at East Lake Golf Club is considered bonus.

So it’s the first 37 events of the season that the write checks – or shall we say, eletronic transfers – the big sums that count towards the official money list.

The Players Championship has the most official money at stake. There are eight signature events with $20 million purses. There’s the majors and the FedEx Cup Playoff events. Then there’s the best of the rest and finally the four opposite-field affairs.

To repeat, there’s nearly $400 million in official prize money and another $75 in bonus money up for grabs on the PGA Tour in 2024. Here’s a breakdown.

The Players Championship

The so-called fifth major has the most dough available with a $25 million purse and a $4.5 million first-place prize. The top five will clear $1 million.

The U.S. Open is the richest of the four men’s majors. The Open matched the signature events in 2023 with a $20 million total purse and a $3.6 million first-place check. Like all the men’s majors for 2024, the total purse numbers will be unveiled the week of the tournament. The Masters unveiled its money totals during Saturday’s third round . Here’s what the four majors paid out in 2023:

Of the eight signature events in 2024, three are of the Players-hosted variety. All signature events have a $20 million total purse but these three have an increased first-place prize of $4 million.

Among the other five signature events in 2024, most are repeats from a year ago but the WM Phoenix Open has dropped off, replaced by the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

FedEx Cup Playoff tournaments

There are three FedEx Cup Playoff tournaments but the third, the Tour Championship, doles out its loot in the form of bonus money. It spends the same but it does not count towards a players official money.

The best of the rest

Among this group, the Bryon Nelson is the one with the biggest payday. The Canadian Open is not far behind.

There were five of these with a purse less than $8 million a year ago. Now there’s just one, as the money continues to rise across the Tour.

The opposite-field events

There are four of these opposite-field events, all of them providing golfers with a change at a valuable PGA Tour win. The money is up on all of them but still short of a million dollar first-place prize. One of them is a new event at Myrtle Beach.

2022 RBC Canadian Open purse, winner’s share, prize money payout

The 2022 RBC Canadian Open purse is set for $8.7 million, with the winner's share coming in at $1,566,000 -- the standard 18 percent payout according to the PGA Tour's prize money distribution chart .

The RBC Canadian Open field is headed by Rory McIlroy , Scottie Scheffler , Justin Thomas and more of the world's best players.

The 156-player field is the event in Canada on the PGA Tour schedule and hasn't been played since 2019.
