The 2025 RBC Canadian Open at TPC Toronto delivered a thrilling finish as Ryan Fox outlasted Sam Burns in a marathon four-hole playoff to claim his second PGA Tour victory. Fox, who started Sunday’s final round tied for the lead with Matteo Manassero, held his nerve as a crowded leaderboard saw 23 players within four shots of the top heading into the day.
Burns made a late charge with a sensational 62, vaulting himself from four shots back into a tie for the lead by the end of regulation. The playoff saw both players repeatedly challenge the par-5 18th, but it was Fox’s precise 3-wood on the final playoff hole that set up a tap-in birdie and sealed the win after Burns three-putted for par.
Top Canadian Nick Taylor finished tied for 13th at under, earning honors as the highest-placed home favorite, while Mackenzie Hughes, Adam Hadwin, Taylor Pendrith, and Corey Conners all finished at under in a tie for 27th Rory McIlroy, a pre-tournament favorite, missed the cut after a difficult week.
Fox takes home $1.764 million from a total purse of $9.8 million, along with 500 FedExCup points The tournament showcased low scoring and fierce competition, with players shooting 65 or lower in Saturday’s third round.
With another RBC Canadian Open in the books, all eyes now turn to the U.S. Open as the world’s best golfers continue their summer run.
