For a PGA Tour event sandwiched between two majors and a WGC title, the RBC Canadian Open has drawn a relatively impressive field this week. With the British Open now in the rearview, the top events remaining in the world of golf are almost all in the States, starting next week with the WGC-Bridgestone, followed by the PGA Championship and the FedExCup. That’s a quick jaunt to the end of the season, but many world-class players are choosing to start that trip in North America at Glen Abbey in Ontario, including Luke Donald, Graeme McDowell, Ernie Els, Matt Kuchar, Hunter Mahan, and Jim Furyk.

It’s a mix of young and old, international and American, playing for what is one of the most important title sponsors on Tour, the RBC. The bank has a solid roster of golfers in their endorsement stable, and as you’d expect, they’re all in attendance for the company’s marquee event. The native reps include Stephen Ames, David Hearn, Graham DeLaet, and former Masters champ Mike Weir. A Canadian has not won the country’s open in 59 years, but DeLaet is one of the most suitable candidates in several years to end that drought. At 25th in the FedExCup standings, he can hang with any of the aforementioned international stars.

The tournament will have the regular broadcast and streaming coverage provided by Golf Channel and CBS, which swoops in on the weekend for the 3rd and 4th round. It’s the week after a major, but this is the start of a strong spot on the PGA Tour calendar. Here are your viewing options for the week.
