How to watch the 2025 RBC Canadian Open: Tee times, streaming info, updated odds for PGA tournament
Rory McIlroy looks to bounce back after his disappointing finish at the PGA Championship. Nick Taylor and Corey Conners lead a large Canadian contingent into Toronto. The forthcoming Canadian Open boasts a new venue and has a lot to offer its audience, despite a couple of notable dropouts. Here are the basics to know before tee-off. Advertisement PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ will provide exclusive early coverage and featured group coverage beginning at 6:45 a.m. on Thursday and Friday, and 7:45 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. CBS coverage can also be streamed on Paramount+, and TSN coverage can also be streamed on TSN+. and the NBC Sports App will offer live simulcasts of Golf Channel's telecasts. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler has won three of the past six PGA outings, but he'll sit out this weekend to rest up before the U.S. Open on June 12. Canada's top tournament still holds gravity, though. Its purse is $9.8 million, and its history is longer than that of all but one non-major Tour event (the BMW Championship, originally played as the Western Open in 1899). The inaugural 1904 installment was played in Quebec, but the most frequent location has been Ontario's Glen Abbey, with 30 different hosting turns. This is the Canadian Open's first time at TPC Toronto, a course opened in 1992 and renovated by Ian Andrew in 2023. All-universe golfer Rory McIlroy is the favorite to win this tourney (+450 moneyline). He has already claimed the hardware twice: in 2019, by a commanding seven strokes, and then again in 2022 (the event was cancelled in 2020-21 due to the COVID-19 pandemic). McIlroy hits this weekend second to Scheffler in both the World Golf Rankings and FedEx Cup points. Scottish golfer Robert MacIntyre won last year's Open. American golfers have traditionally dominated this event, with 74 total first-place finishes across 59 different champions. Canada comes in at fourth place, trailing the U.S., England and Australia. Canadian Nick Taylor knocked off England's Tommy Fleetwood in 2023 via a thrilling playoff. His clinching 72-foot putt is worth a rewatch this weekend, especially for the top-shelf Jim Nantz call ('Are you serious? Oh my goodness, glorious and free!'). Advertisement Ludvig Åberg has the field's second-best odds behind McIlroy at +1400. He won his second PGA Tour event in February at the Genesis Invitational, where he sank a career-first hole-in-one. Hometown hero Corey Conners (+1800) is tied for third-best odds alongside Ireland's Shane Lowry. 6:45 a.m. Justin Lower Nicolai Højgaard Dylan Wu 6:45 a.m. Beau Hossler Henrik Norlander Roger Sloan 6:56 a.m. Chad Ramey Andrew Putnam Rico Hoey 6:56 a.m. Mark Hubbard Sam Ryder Greyson Sigg 7:07 a.m. Doug Ghim Hayden Buckley Mac Meissner 7:07 a.m. Mike Weir Chan Kim Ben Silverman 7:18 a.m. Davis Riley Lee Hodges Gary Woodland 7:18 a.m. Sam Burns Max Homa Sungjae Im 7:29 a.m. Matthieu Pavon Adam Svensson Aaron Wise 7:29 a.m. Nick Taylor Taylor Pendrith Mackenzie Hughes 7:40 a.m. Thomas Detry Keith Mitchell Byeong Hun An 7:40 a.m. Rory McIlroy Ludvig Åberg Luke Clanton 7:51 a.m. Camilo Villegas Emiliano Grillo Nick Hardy 7:51 a.m. Harry Hall Taylor Moore Kurt Kitayama 8:02 a.m. Joel Dahmen Patrick Rodgers Carson Young 8:02 a.m. Nate Lashley Alex Smalley Victor Perez 8:13 a.m. Kaito Onishi Myles Creighton Matthew Anderson 8:13 a.m. Matteo Manassero Jackson Suber Ashton McCulloch 8:24 a.m. Kevin Velo Braden Thornberry Wes Heffernan 8:24 a.m. Thomas Rosenmueller Mason Andersen Josh Goldenberg 8:35 a.m. Niklas Norgaard Gordon Sargent Johnny Keefer 8:35 a.m. Paul Peterson Philip Knowles Hunter Thomson 8:46 a.m. Antoine Rozner Vince Covello Wei-Hsuan Wang 8:46 a.m. Hayden Springer Harrison Endycott Cougar Collins 8:57 a.m. Noah Goodwin Yi Cao Barend Botha 8:57 a.m. Takumi Kanaya Trevor Cone A.J.

'Leading today's final round of the Bell Canadian Open by one stroke on the final hole, Woods executed a shot that required both boldness and brilliance. Standing in a fairway bunker, 218 yards from the pin, with water guarding the front and right sides of the green, Woods hit a 6-iron shot that will add to his legend. As his club met the ball, it rocketed out of the bunker and soared majestically as the gallery at Glen Abbey Golf Club watched, eyes staring upward as if they were watching a space-shuttle launch. Somehow, the ball cleared the water, sailed directly over the flag stick and came to rest just off the green, 18 feet past the hole.' — Clifton Brown Streaming and betting/odds links in this article are provided by partners of The Athletic.

Serena Williams says winning the Australian Open while pregnant was her most important career moment: 'I don't know how I did that'
BERLIN — It was an impressive enough sporting feat when Serena Williams won a record 23rd Grand Slam singles title at the 2017 Australian Open, beating her sister Venus in the final. Soon after came a revelation: she had been pregnant at the time. "I don't know how I did that, honestly," Williams said at an event Wednesday, selecting the moment as the most important of her tennis career. It's been quite the career — after winning her first Grand Slam at the U.S. Open in 1999, Williams went on to become the only player to have achieved the "Golden Slam" — winning the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open and getting an Olympic gold medal — in both singles and doubles tennis. "I don't know what I was doing then, I was nine weeks pregnant ... I do remember not being able to run for a long time," Williams said at the SuperReturn private equity conference in Berlin. "I didn't tell anyone. I mean, Venus knew, and I still feel really bad about that, because a deep part of me feels like because we played each other in the final, I'm like, she must have known, and she must have felt some sort of deep heaviness to go even further and go all out. But she was only one of two people that knew." Early pregnancy symptoms can be intense as the body undergoes a huge transformation, with a surge in hormones often leading to fatigue, breathlessness and nausea. "I remember saying, I have to do a lot of aces, I have to do a lot of winners," Williams continued, referring to a point scored directly from a serve. "I can only play, like, four balls and I'm done." "I remember one time playing a long point against one player, and I couldn't breathe. And I'm like, How does she not see that I'm not able to breathe right now, and so I just intentionally lost the next point just to kind of try and get my energy back. But then I was like: Why am I playing this far pregnant? This is nuts." Williams, who has two daughters with investor and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, stepped back from professional tennis in 2022 to focus on her family. Sports stars such as cyclist Laura Kenny have spoken in recent years about the challenges of balancing an intense and physically demanding career with a desire to get pregnant, while tennis player Naomi Osaka has criticized public commentary that one must be sacrificed for the other. Williams now runs venture capital fund Serena Ventures, which has 40 portfolio companies. She told the packed audience of private equity professionals that the qualities that made her obsessed with winning in sports translated to a single-minded focus as an investor. "I do remember at one point, walking on the court at Wimbledon, and my partner at the time called me about a deal that we were trying to close," she recalled. "I was on Court One that day, and it's a really long walk. And I remember talking to her on the phone, and in the conversation, she's like ... How's your day going? I'm like: Well, I'm walking on the court right now. And she's just like: Are you kidding me? You have to get off the phone. I'm like, okay, it's fine. It's a long walk. I've done it before. So that's how intense, how intentional I am," Williams said. She noted that she looks for founders who are obsessive about being the best at what they do and changing the lives of people they want to impact. Her earliest investment was in the American football team Miami Dolphins in 2009, when she was the world's top-ranked female player. "We got so many bad articles about why we shouldn't be doing this. We need to just focus on tennis, and we need to not think about this," she said of the reaction from the media and sporting world at the time. "Now as an athlete, we're at the point where if you're only doing basketball or if you're only doing football, if you're only doing tennis, it's like, well, what else are you doing? So we gave people that platform to be like, it's okay. You can also be an entrepreneur, and you can do sport. You don't have to just stay in one lane, you know, and just do one thing."

PGA Tour Shares Iconic Nick Taylor Post Before Canadian Open
PGA Tour Shares Iconic Nick Taylor Post Before Canadian Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. With the 2025 RBC Canadian Open set to tee off Thursday at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley, attention across the PGA Tour has turned north of the border. Advertisement The tournament, part of the FedExCup regular season, carries a total purse of $9.8 million, with $1.764 million and 500 FedExCup points awaiting the champion. As golf fans prepare for another historic weekend, the PGA Tour took to X on Wednesday with a reminder of the last time a Canadian claimed victory at the national championship. The Tour's post featured a clip of Nick Taylor's walk-off eagle to win the 2023 RBC Canadian Open at Oakdale Golf & Country Club, with the caption, 'For the eagle. FOR THE WIN. Nick Taylor's walk-off victory at the 2023 @RBCCanadianOpen was one for the ages." Fans online were quick to reminisce on the iconic moment. Advertisement "Big moment for the win ⛳️," said one user. "Let's [expletive] winnnnn," another commenter responded. "One for the ages?" one other user said. "Everyone forgot the Shot. But remembers the Form Tackle that Security Guard made that day," another fan replied. "The best thing about this win was Hadwin getting lit up by the security guard," another user agreed. "Never forget," one other commented. Turning pro in 2010, Taylor joined PGA Tour Canada (2011-13), graduated from the Tour to the PGA Tour in 2014 and has since put together five PGA Tour wins. That 2023 victory marked the first time a Canadian citizen hoisted the trophy since 1954. PGA golfer Nick Schumacher-Arizona Republic via Imagn Images The 2025 PGA Tour has already celebrated several signature events over the past few weeks. Advertisement On May 11, Sepp Straka captured the Truist Championship in Pennsylvania, earning his first signature-event victory of the season. The following week, Scottie Scheffler added another major championship to his resume with a two-shot victory at the PGA Championship in North Carolina. Scheffler then defended his title at the Memorial Tournament in Ohio on June 1, becoming the first golfer since Tiger Woods to win the Memorial in consecutive years. That latter victory has vaulted Scheffler to the top of the 2025 FedExCup standings with 3,501 points, while Rory McIlroy sits second at 2,666 and Straka holds third with 2,479.
