Rory McIlroy will return to the course for the first time since the PGA Championship when the 2025 RBC Canadian Open begins on Thursday at TPC Toronto. McIlroy completed the career grand slam at the Masters in April before struggling at the PGA Championship. He is the +450 favorite (risk $100 to win $450) in the 2025 RBC Canadian Open odds, while Ludvig Aberg is next on the PGA odds board at +1400. Aberg won the Genesis Invitational earlier this season, but he has not finished inside the top 10 since the Masters. Aberg has recorded three top-10 finishes this season and is priced at +140 to crack the top 10 this week.
Corey Conners has 10 top-25 finishes in 14 events played this season, and the Canadian is a two-time winner on the PGA Tour. He is a +2000 longshot in the 2025 RBC Canadian Open odds, but should you back him with your 2025 RBC Canadian Open bets? Conners is the highest ranked Canadian in the Official World Golf Ranking at No. 21 and is priced at +360 to finish inside the top five at TPC Toronto. Before making any 2025 RBC Canadian Open picks, you need to see the 2025 RBC Canadian Open predictions and best bets from golf expert Eric Cohen.
The host of Tuesday’s Early Wedge Best Bets Show on SportsLine’s YouTube page, Cohen is an avid golf bettor who correctly predicted the pre-tournament outright winner in eight tournaments over the last three seasons. He correctly identified Justin Thomas to win the 2025 RBC Heritage (+1800) and Ben Griffin to win the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge (+4500 w/o Scheffler).

Top 2025 RBC Canadian Open expert picks
One surprise: Cohen is completely fading McIlroy, even though he is the top favorite and a 29-time winner on the PGA Tour. McIlroy finally completed the career grand slam in April, but he is coming off a disappointing showing at the PGA Championship. He finished T47 after barely making the cut, and he will likely be more focused on next week’s event than this one.
“This is a tune-up event for Rory, who is more so looking to play well in advance of revenge at next week’s U.S. Open. While he has an incredible history in Canada, with two wins and four top-10s in four starts, I’m a little concerned about his irons, which have lost strokes in each of his last two solo events since The Masters. While McIlroy could very well finish in the top-5, he’s a fade for me at this number in what should be a wide open event,” Cohen told SportsLine. See who else to fade here.
Meanwhile, Cohen loves the value of Shane Lowry at +2200 (risk $100 to win $2,200) at FanDuel Sportsbook. Lowry missed the cut at the PGA Championship, but he has finished inside the top 25 in nine of his other 12 events this season. He is a three-time winner on the PGA Tour and is one of the top golfers in the field this week.
“Lowry is third on Tour in approach this season behind Scottie Scheffler and two-time winner Sepp Straka,” Cohen said. “He’s already had two runner up finishes this season (AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and Truist Championship) and seems overdue for a win. I like the price relative to others at the top and wouldn’t be too surprised if he lifts the trophy on Sunday.” See who else to back here.
