About this episode

The episode previews the Canadian Open, discussing course setup, player expectations, and the unique atmosphere of the tournament.

We preview this week’s Canadian Open at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley, breaking down everything from course setup to championship expectations. What kind of test will players face this weekend, and are we in for another low-scoring birdie-fest or a setup that brings strategy and patience into play? We look at how weather conditions might shape scoring and which style of player is best suited to contend on this layout. The conversation also dives into the strength of this year’s field—being called the deepest in 25 years—and why so many of the game’s biggest stars are making their way north of the border. We also explore one of the event’s signature experiences in “The Rink,” and how it has helped create a unique atmosphere that sets this tournament apart on the PGA Tour schedule. Finally, we hear insights from Tournament Director Ryan Paul and close with predictions on what the biggest storyline will be when the final putt drops on Sunday.
