GOLF.com: 2026 RBC Canadian Open Round 1 — How to Watch and Full Tee Times

The 2026 RBC Canadian Open opens Thursday at TPC Toronto in Ontario, Canada, drawing significant attention to Collin Morikawa's bid to recapture his early-season form.

Morikawa's Season Arc

Morikawa entered 2026 in commanding fashion, winning the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am for his seventh PGA Tour title and posting a T7 at the Masters. However, his last two events told a different story — a T62 at the Cadillac Championship and a T55 at the PGA Championship at Aronimink have raised questions about his current form.

This week in Canada represents a reset opportunity. He tees off at 7:33 a.m. ET off No. 10, grouped with Aaron Rai and Justin Rose.

Notable Groupings

Beyond Morikawa, the field features Viktor Hovland, Tommy Fleetwood, Matt Fitzpatrick, Brooks Koepka, Robert MacIntyre, and Shane Lowry. Japanese players Takumi Kanaya (7:22 a.m.) and Keita Nakajima (1:54 p.m.) also compete.

Strokeslab's Take

Morikawa's dip in form appears tied to declining SG: Approach numbers. TPC Toronto will serve as a meaningful test of whether that metric has corrected — making his Thursday round one of the most data-interesting of the week.
