RBC Canadian Open 2025 betting tips, free bets and latest golf odds

It is over to you again Rory at this week's Canadian Open, after Scottie Scheffler matched McIlroy's haul of three wins this year with a successful defence of his Memorial title. Scheffler will be putting his feet up at home in Texas ahead of next week's US Open, while world No 2 McIlroy aims to win in Canada for the third time, after victories in 2019 and 2022. With the surprisingly inconsistent Ludvig Aberg as the only other player from the top ten in action, McIlroy is a strong favourite at 9-2 to complete the hat-trick, with the Swede next best at 14-1. Free bet offers from our betting partners RBC Canadian Open betting tips Aberg was fancied to make some noise at the Memorial. But he was pretty quiet until closing with a bogey-free 66, and that was still only good enough for a share of 16th. So despite an aversion to single figure odds, McIlroy looks the better option at the top of the market - at least until Aberg starts to reproduce the sort of golf he showed us as a rookie this time last year. This year's Canadian Open moves to a new venue, at TPC Toronto, a tough par 70 with narrow fairways and thick rough - a taste of what awaits at Oakmont next week, where the US Open is likely to be a battle for survival. The twenty-odd Canadians in the field will not have much of an advantage over the rest in terms of course knowledge. But I still like the chances of Taylor Pendrith, who hails from the Greater Toronto area. Pendrith won twice on the PGA Tour Canada before making his breakthrough in the big time by winning the Byron Nelson last year. His fifth place finish at the USPGA showed he is still heading in the right direction, and he was only a shot away from rewarding each way support at the Memorial last week. At a best-priced 28-1, he looks worth backing each way again. Defending champion Robert MacIntyre is also priced up at 28-1. Even on a different course, the Scottish left-hander can still make his presence felt. Shane Lowry will be on many short lists. But 20-1 does not seem over-generous for a player who has not won an individual title since the 2022 BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth. I would rather go with players at longer odds, and Keith Mitchell - a recent runner-up at the Corales - fits the bill at a widely-available 45-1. The 50-1 on offer for Alex Noren to build on the promise of his USPGA exploits also catches the eye. And after justifying each way support yet again when he was tied sixth at the Charles Schwab, 80-1 shot Ryo Hisatsune merits another small investment. ********************************************************** Another exciting young Japanese player, Keita Nakajima, bounced back from a couple of missed cuts with a share of 11th in Austria last week. His back-to-back runner-up finishes in Singapore and India earlier this season may have come closer to home, but at 28-1 he still catches the eye in the KLM Open market. This Open is wide open, but it is still a surprise to see defending champion Guido Miggliozi as high as 66-1. The Italian star is not the most consistent performer. But he is also a former French Open winner, and even a repeat of the form he showed when he finished eight in Dubai at the start of the year would make him hard to beat again here. Sam Bairstow continued his good run by qualifying for next week's US Open, and his 28-1 quote this week looks fair. And after a much-improved effort to claim a share of fifth in Austria, fellow Englishman Callum Tarren deserves a second look at 150-1.

Chicago Fire announce plans to build 22,000-seat stadium near downtown

This Chicago Fire on Tuesday announced plans to build a $650m, soccer-specific stadium in the South Loop of Chicago – a venue that will be part of a large development project called 'The 78.' The club aims to open the stadium in the spring of 2028, with the building of the venue itself requiring no public money, according to an announcement by the team's owner Joe Mansueto. It is planned to hold 22,000 spectators. The 62-acre vacant plot of land that will be used to construct 'The 78' is a former landfill and railyard along the banks of the Chicago river that has sat vacant and in development limbo for decades. The site is set to be developed by Realted Midwest, which acquired the land in 2016. The Chicago White Sox of Major League Baseball have also sought to build a new stadium there, even constructing a temporary field at the site. The MLB team and Related Midwest have sought more than $1bn in public financing for the baseball stadium project. 'This project is more than just a stadium,' Mansueto said in a statement released by the team. 'It's a space for fans of all ages, backgrounds and neighborhoods to come together and celebrate the beautiful game – right in the heart of our city. It's about investing in Chicago, not just on match days, but every day as a committed community partner.' The Fire have played at a number of venues since their founding in 1998 as one of Major League Soccer's first expansion clubs. The team began their life at Soldier Field, home of the NFL's Chicago Bears, where they build a considerable home field advantage and enjoyed some of the most vocal support in MLS at the time. Extensive renovations to Soldier Field forced the team to decamp to suburban Naperville, Illinois in 2002, before the club built its own stadium, SeatGeek Stadium, which opened in suburban Bridgeview in 2006. The stadium's location and the team's own struggles led to a decline in fan interest in the club, causing Mansueto to move the Fire back to Soldier Field after purchasing sole ownership of the team in 2019. Sign up to Soccer with Jonathan Wilson Jonathan Wilson brings expert analysis on the biggest stories from European soccer after newsletter promotion The site of 'The 78,' so called because it is seen as a new neighborhood in addition to the 77 that currently make up Chicago, is well served by public transportation. A home for the Fire there will be among a select group of MLS stadiums to be situated close to a home city's downtown area. When built, the Fire's stadium will be the 22nd soccer-specific stadium in the 30-team league.
