The PGA Tour heads to TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley – North Course for the 2026 RBC Canadian Open this week. The par-70 track will play host to this event for the second straight season, as Ryan Fox (+5000) seeks a title defense following his four-hole playoff victory over Sam Burns.
Matt Fitzpatrick and Tommy Fleetwood lead the field as the pre-tournament betting favorites at +1300 odds. Burns is the only other golfer shorter than 22-1 this week, followed by Collin Morikawa and Wyndham Clark.
My 2026 Memorial Tournament Picks & Predictions: PGA Longshots saw Eric Cole climb into brief contention at 125-1 at Muirfield. He ultimately wound up carding a solo eighth-place finish, while Keegan Bradley (T19) and Nick Taylor (T43) never had a legitimate chance of winning.
The RBC Canadian Open has seen plenty of longshots post a win in recent years, so let’s start in the +8000 range to hunt for winners ahead of Round 1 on Thursday morning. Follow me on X at Matt_MacKay_ for more free picks and analysis for the remainder of the PGA Tour season.
2026 RBC Canadian Open Picks & Predictions: PGA Longshots
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Stephan Jaeger (+8000)
It’s been four years since we’ve seen Stephan Jaeger tee off at the RBC Canadian Open. This means the German native is making his debut at TPC Toronto’s North Course.
Jaeger has collected three top 10 finishes and a top 5 finish in 2026, posting a T9 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson before withdrawing from the Charles Schwab Challenge in his last outing.
Ranks 23rd in driving distance, 57th in SG: Putting, 30th in scrambling, 35th in sand save rate, and 25th in birdie average (4.09) this season. Jaeger managed to beat Scottie Scheffler at the Houston Open during his lone PGA Tour victory in 2024, so he shouldn’t be phased if he’s atop the leaderboard heading into Sunday.
Bet on Jaeger to win at +8000 odds in the outright winner betting market this week.
Andrew Putnam (+8000)
Andrew Putnam just posted a win in a 9-hole playoff to claim the final spot in the upcoming U.S. Open at Shinnecock. He’s riding momentum, while also carding a top 20 finish (T17) at the Charles Schwab Challenge in his last PGA Tour event.
Putnam hasn’t won since the 2018 Barracuda Championship. However, he’s ranked 45th in total strokes gained, 48th in SG: Approach, and 54th in SG: Putting this season. Most notably, Putnam sits fifth in driving accuracy, which should translate well on the tight fairways at TPC Toronto.
Second in scrambling, 26th in putts per round, and eighth in one-putt percentage is enough to justify a 0.25 unit wager on Putnam to end his eight-year win drought at 80-1.
A.J. Ewart (+12500)
Canadian golfer A.J. Ewart profiles nicely heading into his third outing at the RBC Canadian Open. Ewart missed the cut here in 2025, although he’s riding a bit of a heater in 2026.
Ewart has logged consecutive top 20 finishes, while ranked ninth in SG: Putting, 30th in proximity, and 35th for greens in regulation hit. He’s also 14th in scrambling and 29th in scoring average and par-4 scoring.
At 125-1, it’s worth taking a flier on Ewart to claim his first PGA Tour win in his home country this week.
