Odds Outlook: Rory McIlroy returns to Hamilton as RBC Canadian Open betting favorite – PGA TOUR

The top choice at BetMGM Sportsbook, Rory McIlroy (+375) returns to the track, affectionately known as Ancaster by the locals, as the clear-cut favorite. Playing the event for the first time in 2019 at Hamilton, the four-time major champion put on a show the week before the U.S. Open. McIlroy won by seven shots, blowing away the field with a closing-round, course-tying record 61 on Sunday to remove any doubt. Adding a successful title defense in 2022 at St. George’s, plus a T9 finish last year, suggests he relishes old-school designs near the shores of Lake Ontario. After recent victories at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans and Wells Fargo Championship, a T12 at the PGA Championship at Valhalla is the only blemish on McIlroy’s record since late April.
